I'd like to take some time to wish my Mother a very happy birthday. She always does so much for us on our birthdays *and every day for that matter...* I am in a mushy nostalgic mood (what else is new...) and I was looking back at pictures & wanted to share some. Mom is a creative amazing person with a gigantic heart.
|
one of my favorites of her. She used to dance! |
|
she made that dress. She taught me how to sew and gave me many creative passions. |
|
we had matching dresses on many occasions |
She has always embraced our "crazy" and encouraged our individuality... even when she didn't totally agree... haha How many Moms encouraged their kids to paint murals throughout the house? :)
|
or when she's right there with us being silly :) |
|
She always made our Halloween costumes - and I feel it's important to carry on that tradition |
|
she writes on things like produce as notes to us :) |
|
takes us to Beatles conventions! |
|
and we indulge her "crazy" need to have a Santa picture in NYC Macy's every year - even though we are OLD! :p |
|
she makes sure that her grandchildren can follow their passions as well |
She is a fantastic Grandma - in fact, the spoils my kid ROTTEN... haha but it's all out of love. Seriously, look how she glows in the pictures with the kiddos. Wow :)
I love my mom. No matter what we go through... no matter how much we disagree/argue... I know in the end, she'll always be there for me. (We DO tend to be on the same page about stuff these days though) :)
So here's to you, Mom! "Hippo Birdies" to you and many many many more!
We love you!
I've got to tell you, when I read your blog to your mom today, I got so teary-eyed!!! I could just see and feel the love in those photos and your writing. Happy Birthday Marisa's Mom!!!
