Happy Birthday Mom!


Fun Facts of why my mom is so great!

1. As a home room mom in school she would make hundreds of sugar cookies for us kids in all shapes and sizes for our parties.

2. As a home room mom she would make herself a costume for our parties and wear them to school. Then load us up and drive around town. My favorite- the clown outfit with the BIG blue wig.

3. When mom was a single parent she decided that every Thursday on payday she and I would treat ourselves to a dinner out. We always went to Don's Steakhouse and ordered the Chef salad!:)

4.When she worked full time she would get up early on her co-workers birthdays and make them a fresh birthday cake just for them.

5.One time mom tried to make bubble up bread and during the baking process lets just say that ovens are not supposed to have flames coming out of them!:) You should of seen the two of us trying to put that out!

6.One time when it was just mom and I living together we had a man try to get into our house and the two of us grabbed our weapons of choice to defend ourselves - She got a butter knife and I grabbed the can of pledge.

7.Moms favorite flower is the yellow rose.

8.Favorite colors are blue and yellow.

9.When I went to camp in the summer she would write me letters in the shapes of circles or she would write the letter then cut the paper into a puzzle that I had to put together to be able to read it.

10.She loves the Lord with her whole heart and is so thankful for her salvation.

Happy Birthday Mom! You have been such a wonderful mother to me!

What a lovely tribute!

I think it is so interesting that the things we remember best and appreciate most aren't necessarily the "biggies." They are things our parents just did, but God used to make special memories.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISS EUNICE!!! WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR MANY ACTS OF LOVE AND KINDNESS TO US. THE LOVE OF THE LORD SHINES THROUGH YOU!
