The Party .
.
A while ago, I wrote about my mom's 60th birthday party. My sister gave me a CD full of pics from the party, and I decided to share a few with you all.


The collage my cousin and I put together
I never could have done it without the old family pictures owned by cousin M and aunt P. TY!



I told you I had red hair.


Family shot on stairs.
Mom was trying to keep the glare off her glasses. And yes, that's me, finally showing my face to the world. Do I look like you pictured me? My hair is weighed down with conditioner to keep the fluffiness in line. My sister has dark brown eyes and (dammit) a tan too!


And my favorite picture

Mom finds her sister from Texas in the crowd. Such a big surprise!
Her bracelets are: pink= breast cancer survivor, blue= pro-life, metal= medical alert i.d. bracelet. Allergic to insect stings/bites and "no left arm procedures" because they took a bunch of lymph nodes along with her left breast and blood work or even a blood pressure cuff could cause lymphodema in that arm.

She's so happy in that picture. Her sister is 11 months younger than her, and they're very close. They hugged each other and cried for a long time. It was wonderful to see.
