I thought he might be dead.

That's a very nice-looking treat for your mom. In my experience, mothers are always tickled by being remembered and having almost any effort expended on them.

You did good!

Her name is Lily. Shes an 85 pound baby lol

But yeah I opted in for balloons instead because flowers she doesn't like. They die as she says.

and i think that your mom will love the celebration whether you have resources or not. its the intention and showing of love that counts.

I bet it made her really happy. As we get older it becomes less important that our kids get us presents but a little cake, a hat and balloons mean everything to us. It looks like she got some gifts and a card too, you did a great job! I bet she will go to bed feeling like a million bucks. Thank you from this old mom. You did great!

Normally she just doesn't like celebrating but she got something two times this year that she hasn't gotten in a few years.

That just has love and thoughtfulness written all over it. I hope you all had a nice time.

Your co-host kinda crashed on the couch before the party even started, eh?

She didn't want cake she wanted peach pie but they only had peach cobbler which was just as okay and I got ice cream for it
