My Mom turned 85 on Valentines Day. That is also our anniversary and we were gone for the weekend. However, we planned a birthday party at Mom's home for today, Friday Feb 20.
Here is the cake we had made from a local bakery. German Chocolate icing covered with chocolate and accents of grapes and kiwi on whipped cream. Yummy. We added the numbers.

Mike took Mom to a Dr. appointment this morning while I ran to the store to get balloons and then quickly decorated her living room with lots of Valentine decorations. She was so surprised when she arrived home, even though she knew we were having this party. Here she is, kept saying, OH MY! OH MY! OH MY! It is the first 'party' she has ever had. (We did invite her and some friends to our home for her 80th). This was especially sweet as her closest neighbors and friends and our daughter Nicole and children, about 20 in all, came by for cake and coffee this afternoon to celebrate their love and friendships.
Mike, Mom and I at the end of the afternoon. Mom is just glowing :)
She didn't want us to take the decorations down. So we left them so she can continue reliving the precious moments of the day.
