We had a blast on Saturday, April 22nd, celebrating the wonderful woman who made it all possible for me...my mother, Shirley! She turned 60 years old on Sunday, April 23rd, and we celebrated with a large party for friends and family. Besides doing a slideshow of pictures from her life and digitizing a famed family video (from Mom's 38th birthday), Greg and I also created a Shirley Pursuit game, with funny questions regarding all parts of her life. I will include some of those questions along with these wonderful photos to give you a taste of the fun we had.
Here are some pictures of Mom's amazing life thus far:
