On Saturday, January 23, we celebrated my Mom's 80th birthday. It was a surprise for her. The weather was very snowy, mixed with freezing rain. Some weren't able to attend because of the bad weather (bummer!), but the rest of us met at Gary's cabin, and then went over to Mom & Dad's caravan style. Once there we filed into the house for the surprise, and what a surprise it was! Everyone brought food and cake for the festivities. All in all it was a fabulous way to celebrate 80 years of the best Mom ever. Here are a couple of photos of the day.

Happy Birthday, Aunt Catherine.
Wonderful pictures, Carol. The boy in the green and white jacket -- is that John's son? Her house looks so open and spacious. Where is the knotty pine -- the den? Or downstairs? It's really a very beautiful house, isn't it? What a nice treat for them to have a happy birthday surprise.
Happy Birthday, Aunt Catherine!
What fun! I love how y'all surprised her and brought all of the food and cake with you rather than trying to get her out of the house on some pretense.
