Today is my fabulous mother-in-law's birthday! We've decided that we don't like to use the term in-law because it sounds too formal...so my mom's birthday is today. Benton and I love her very much and are so glad she is in our lives, we don't know what we'd do without her. For me personally, she is the best! I am so glad I married Benton, so that I could become really close to her. I can call her up anytime and just talk to her. I am so lucky to be able to have such a close relationship where we hang out together, whether that's going to a movie, dinner or just hanging out at her house and talking. I always hear talk from others saying how they can't stand their "mother-in-law" and I always think of how blessed I was to end up with her, because we get along so well.
We celebrated her birthday last Saturday. All of us kids threw her a surprise birthday party. She was shocked, she thought us girls were taking her to get pedicures, and instead we had about 40 of her close friends and family celebrate her life. We made Cafe Rio salads, which were delicious and all just sat and talked with one another. It was a great surprise.
Mom and her kids.....
Here we are, me and the Birthday girl...
And some more fun pics....
We love you Mom, Happy Birthday!!!
