Mom's Birthday Party

Today we celebrated our mom's 80th birthday!! Actually, the pictures tell the story best. But, in a nutshell, the day was a great one! We had beautiful, cool weather and all the food and drinks were so good!! It was a fun day! It was fun watching Mom open presents. It was fun watching a video that our Uncle Bruno sent from Austria (it arrived the day before the party!!) This video was put together from clips that Uncle Bruno had taken of all of us on 8mm film many years ago, so it was very interesting to watch. It was fun going for our traditional walk down the street. And of course, the best part was just talking with everyone and catching up on what's going on in all of our lives.
