sandy mom's birthday.

celebrating birthdays are a wonderful thing. and that is exactly what we (daniel and i) did this weekend. we celebrated mrs. sandy chesnut. she is a dear, through and through.
the birthday celebration started friday afternoon with a fif-tea birthday tea party with her sisters, friends + family. becky and i had so much fun preparing all of the little touches for the tea, and adding all of the touches sandy would have done for us. the tea was a blast with yummy treats, soothing tea and lots of laughs.
the party continued on saturday afternoon with a family party at the house. it involved josh's game creation "mom charades-inary"--the Special 50th birthday edition. the two teams came up with sayings or actions that describe mom. a fun time. we also presented a book that we created for her with notes from everyone--expressing our love and adoration of her. she found the gift to be really touching. i actually created the felt book cover and provided pictures below.
it was an overall great celebration for a great person. :) happy birthday sandy mom!
