Mom's 75th Birthday


I think my mom could have done without the element of surprise, not because we scared her a little as she came in the door but because she would have preferred to know we were up to throwing her a party.

In any case we surprised her and the party went on. Every relative living here in Phoenix was present including an influx of kids that were running in every direction. My younger sister made the trip from California with her three daughters, so none of her "kids" was missing.

We kept it as a family get together, "mi chica" and my sisters cooked some great
dishes and there was plenty of desserts, such as fruit and cake, oh and let's not forget the punch. The pineapple and rum punch was the best. My niece is studying cooking as she would like to be a chef and her instructor was nice enough to help her with the cake, while she cooked it he totally decorated it, it actually looked expensive and tasted great.

The party must have been great because seven hours passed and we didn't even feel them. From conversations to music listening we did a little of everything.

Next year we might eliminate the surprise and just get together to have some coffee and sweet bread, but for now another celebration is in our family history books.
