Happy Birthday, Mamaw!

On Jan 27th Mamaw (my maternal grandmother) turned 72. Who would believe it? She so doesn't look it! The Saturday before her birthday, Mom & Dad took her to dinner at Bravo then they took in a show. Not just any show, but one Mamaw had been dying to see forever; Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain, Tonight! We magaged to get 4th row tickets too! Mamaw said the food was amazing, but the show was even better!



Then on Mamaw's birthday we all went out to dinner at Red Lobster, where they sang to her...by Dad's request. After, we came home & opened presents. Livvy loved helping, as you can see! We didn't eat cake that night because we were too stuffed. And I didn't get pictures of her pretty cake before we did eat it either. Sorry!
Mamaw really seemed to enjoy her birthday festivities!
We are so blessed & thankful to have such a wonderful woman in our lives. She is an amazing wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend, grandmother, great-grandmother, etc. She teaches us everyday, makes us smile, is a wonderful example to us all, & one of the greatest people you could ever meet. She is everything to my family, including one of my best friends. Happy Birthday, Mamaw Jean! We love you!

Livvy liked helping Mamaw open her presents!
