Mom. Grandma, Grammy's Birthday- A Box Full of Love


 We had Mom and Dad over tonight for Mom's 85th Birthday dinner.


 Yogurt parfaits for dessert

 Out came the Box Full of Love that YOU ALL filled!


 Here, Mom is reading the list of things I appreciate about her and have 
learned from her over the years.
 A cute hand-drawn card from Amelia Mullins!
 An oil painting from Joy and darling cards from the Dennis Kids
 A "G" for Grammy and a sweet picture with Kana Shackelford
 Beautiful pen and ink from Ariana Shack, bookmark from Ethan
 and family letter from the DeHarts

 Lovely table runner, scone mix and other gifts from the Barnes' 
plus notes dictated to Erin from Garrett and Wyatt
 Darling birthday cake made from paper crafts with family pictures from the Illinois Shacks.
Thanks to all of you for sending your love and greetings. As Mom was leaving, she said, she was "flying high" from all of the sweet notes and gifts! :)
