Family Birthday Dinner for Mom

As tradition the family gets together for birthdays.  Today we celebrated moms!  We had delicious ribs cooked by Richard along with butter beans, turnip greens, slaw, potatoes, mac n cheese that Nana cooked.  It was all yummy!!  (I skipped the butter beans).  After dinner it was game time - no not the Super Bowl -- it was time for Mexican Train and Rummikub.  It was mom, me, Linda, Casey, Rochelle, Nana and Lindsay.  I won Mexican Train and Rochelle won Rummikub.  We all enjoyed the carrot cake and everyone was impressed with my cake skills =)  Mom received several nice gifts.  Uncle Larry had a private shopper and got her a black/white workout suit.  Rochelle and Sushi gave her a cute birdhouse complete with a bluebird.  Lindsay, Casey and Cameron gave her some tasty tasty fudge - 3 different flavors!  Nana gave her a purple shirt (may have to borrow that one) and a gorgeous necklace.  Linda and Richard gave mom a beautiful picture frame with a very sentimental saying complete with a picture of mom and Cameron.  I gave her two more beads for her Pandora bracelet (a red one and black heart one).  Dad's present is still being worked on - a gorgeous, one of a kind black diamond ring :)  It was a great day and I know mom appreciated everyone coming to celebrate her special day!  Below are some pictures from today's celebration!
