The Big Five-Oh!!

Yesterday my mother turned 50. For such a monumental occasion one can not help but celebrate. We made her all her favorite mom foods (that means lots of vegetables) Thai chicken curry (combo effort: me, grandma, a. Pat), crab won-tons (by Clark) and special bubbly (by Taylor). Then we entered phase 2 which was desserts (because we wanted more than one). Clark managed to fit all 50 candles into the pie.
Now check out this flame...
Cousin Brady and my mom share the same birthday so they shared this special moment together.
It was a good time and well worth the effort to celebrate the life of the woman who gave me life. I love my mom!!
