We Surprised her!

My Mom's 78th birthday was March 6th. My sister and I decided to surprise her. We made arrangements and flew into Phoenix on a Thursday nite. Our flights were to be 45 minutes apart, but we ended up landing 10 minutes apart! Ron, (our bro, and his wife Elaine) picked us up from the airport. We were all excited to surprise her! We almost pee'd our pants! haha!

We got there, and Ron got her out of bed...thinking she had gotten a box in the mail...(what a big box at that!) She came into the kitchen and was so shocked to see my sister and I! "What are you doing here..?" is all she could say! "Happy Birthday!"..we said! It made all of our 2010! It was totally worth it. The picture above is all of us at her Birthday dinner at Red Lobster! We had a great time. It flew by.

My mom kept saying "That was the best birthday ever...it really was!" I think it made my year, to see her so happy. And.........I got to go alone...like a mini vacation for this stay at home mom! I was blessed to go, and very thankful to a wonderful hubby. I know he can take care of our girls, (I laid out clothes and made sure they had food...) But he is a great Dad....I had no worries. I am just totally blessed!

I hope that you can do something nice for your mom....it really doesnt have to be a ticket on a plane, it's just time that you spend with her. That is what moms want....time. After all...they sacrificed for us...when we were small; if all she wants is time..then give it to her. Some peeps dont have Moms that are alive and wish they did. Thank you Lord for a mom that loves me!
