A very special birthday

So yesterday I turned 60! 

It ended up being such a special day with lots of surprises for this Mom / MamMaw / Elmo.

I got to see some of the grands that I haven’t seen in way too long and got to see the cousins, so happy to see each other, laughing and playing together. Seeing all my grown babies enjoying each other, catching up, and reminiscing while they watch their babies play is the best. It brings me such joy and fills my heart to the brim.

The kids came through the door with 60 presents!!! 
 

 
One for each of the next 60 days. What a great way to ease into sixty. 
It all started with this lovely jar filled with messages from all the people I love. They are so sweet and each one brings tears of gratitude to my eyes. It is a jar full of memories and joy. I am such a lucky lady to have such a thoughtful and loving family. To everyone that contributed, thank you so much!!! I love you all so much. ❤️Oh yea, and some eucalyptus bath salts for my hot baths. Soothing my body and soul, I think they knocked it out of the park!

 

I had a request to TikTok my daily gift opening but I thought maybe blogging them would be a little more my speed. It has been a long time, life has been flying by, but what a great reason to post again.

So, that was day 1, lets see what day 2 brings.....

 

They know me so well. 
And after our get together yesterday I needed these!
 
Thank you so much to everyone involved in my special day yesterday and the next 58 to come! I know it took a lot to pull together but I am so grateful you did.
 
I will be back with day 3 tomorrow.
 
With love and so much gratitude,
Mom, MamMaw, Elmo, Jody
