Birthday Month!

Mom was over for dinner the other night and we were talking about birthdays. Allison was excited to hear that Grandma's birthday was coming up soon. She then asked how old Grandma was going to be and Grandma said, "53." I said, "Mom, I think you are turning 54." We went back and forth for a minute until mom finally said in a stern voice, "I know how old I am going to be." She was really conviced that she was turning 53. I got out a piece of paper and we subtracted the year she was born to this year, and guess what...she will be 54! Sorry mom! I thought I would post now until waiting until "Birthday Eve" so mom will have time to let it sink in that she is turning 54 and not 53. You look great no matter what age you are turning! Here is mom at her birthday last year when she turned 53 and obviously didn't know it!

That is so funny. Leave it to Mom. The older you get, I bet it does get hard to remember how old you are...sometimes I even forget. I just love how she wouldn't give in. Happy Birthday Month Mom!!!!
