PRE Birthday Surprise.....



My Mom loves to join me at QIAD....
even more so when we have planned a birthday surprise!!!!




Birthday cake.....



 Adorable students who showered her with sweet gifts and kind wishes!!!




But there was ONE other HUGE surprise 
when she got home from class.  



She was in shock...and I was doing the "Ugly Cry".  


Her brother had flown in from Holland to attend the birthday celebration!!!!!



I am pretty certain that no other present can compare. 


 Turning 90 is very special....but celebrating with the ones you love is priceless!!!!

Now I am doing that ugly cry. That is just the sweetest picture of your Mom seeing her brother.
How sweet of your class to celebrate her birthday too.
Everytime you show pictures of your class, I picture myself there. Wishing you all the best for your Mom's celebration and prayers for your stanima to make it through all the preparations.

You're so right! Celebrating with loved ones is the BEST.

She is a 90 year old doll!

We saw Luke with his eyes open for the first time since his birth on August 5th. What a blessing.

Your words mean so much.

All joys,

Sharon
