Happy Birthday Mimi

We celebrated my mom's 64th birthday on Wednesday. Kaylea and I made her a lemon cake from scratch. Trina and Mikey came over and we ordered pizza. Kaylea was very excited that it was Mimi's birthday (even though she wanted it to be her own). She put on a show for us. Each year my mom celebrates her birthday is special to me. Growing up she never liked a big fuss about her day and we never made a huge deal of it. However, since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 I have made it a point to make every birthday a fuss. I am so happy that it is in God's plan for her to continue to be here with us. After the party my mom and I went to play Bingo (probably the first time since her last birthday). We both got Bingos! That made for a great night. My mom is one of my best friends. She is one of the first people I want to call with good news or with bad news. I love spending time with her and I hope for the same relationship with my own daughter.
