Happy Birthday BeBop!!!

My wonderful momma turned 60 last week. She is such a great mom,
I really wanted to do something special for her this year.

Her first surprise was that Audrey flew in from London to be there on her birthday.
We picked up Aud from the airport the day before Mom's birthday.
Then we waited until the morning of her birthday to surprise Mom.
She was shocked and so excited!!!

I made these shirts for the boys to wear when we went over to Mom's house to
surprise her with Audrey and take her to breakfast.

So easy to make...and super cute!

Mom's sister, Susan, was there the whole week to be with Mom for her birthday.
We all went to eat at The Taste of Texas for dinner...yummy!!!

Sam loves his Aunt Audrey so much...she is his girlfriend right now!

We all wanted pictures with the birthday girl...

Aunt Audrey and Micah James

Here is the book that I made for Mom.
I wanted to get 60 of her friends and family to write her a note telling how much they loved her and different memories that they have with Mom. I ended up getting 72 notes for her book.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped me with this book by writing notes.
It turned out great!!!

Here are all the decorations that I put up in my house for her family party

I was feeling creative this week...her is the banner that I made.
It was pretty simple to make and it turned out so cute!

Here is her book all ready to give her
