Well it has been a busy few days suprising my mom for her 70th bithday that looked something like this:
Wednesday- big sister andrea arrives, meet her and middle sister kristy for delicious dinner. I can not remember the last time it was just the 3 of us at dinner. (I know it almost happened years ago when as a family we decided to go to coco's for dinner. The three of us jumped in one car, parents in another. Each car went to separate coco's. In the age before cell phones it took forever for our parents to figure this out).
Thursday - pick up aunties in from Oklahoma, and mom's girlfriend, and head to Broders for surprise breakfast. Kristy arrives with mom, mom very suprised to see everyone. We wonder what the over under is on tears shed this weekend.
Later that night mom shocked to enter kristy's amazing new gallery show dedicated to her. More tears.
Friday - walk all eikenkids to school, meet up at French Bakery for final suprise, last of moms sisters have arrived from Oklahoma.
Head up to mountain house for a "girls weekend". Harper is in heaven. Denies missing her brothers.
Tonight we will toast my mothers 70th year with dinner up at Timberline Lodge.
It is a privilege to get old.
And an even bigger one to have such great women in my family.
Harper is a lucky little girl.
