Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my Mom's birthday! I LOVE my Mom so much. She is the best! In honor of her birthday, here are 10 things I love about my Mom:
1. She loves me and my sisters so much. She would do anything for us.
2. She is such a hard worker. When I was 9 my parents got divorced. With 3 kids 9 and under she went back to school full-time and got her Accounting degree, worked and still managed to take good care of us. Now that I have little kids I have NO idea how she pulled that off.
3. She is so beautiful and has the most contagious smile. Whenever people tell me I look like my Mom I consider it the highest compliment.
4. She has a great sense of humor. If you get her laughing hard enough, she will start to cry. I love it!
5. She makes everything beautiful. She always has the most beautiful yard and home. She is a fabulous decorator. She can make any house feel like a home.
6. She loves my kids. My kids call her "Grammy". They love her so much. She is such a fun "Grammy".
7. She listens to me ramble. With 2 little kids I don't get a lot of adult conversation, so some days I call my Mom and she'll just listen.
8. She is ALWAYS there for me. She has never missed any important event in my life. She will drop whatever to be there for me and my family.
9. She is a "cool" Mom. Most of the time I feel like my Mom is better dressed than me! ( :
10. She is so much fun! I LOVE hanging out with my Mom. She is a blast!

I love you Mom! I hope you have a GREAT day!

And she didn't mind it when certain people parked themselves at your house for, oh I don't know, all of high school!! :) What a keeper!
