We were staying at her house, so we had to be sneaky, but I&#8217;m sure she knew something was up! The Bishops came and most of her family came which made it a pretty full house and a fun time! Regina and I had made a pasta bar with three different kinds of pastas and a myriad of toppings that everyone chose from and we sauted their choice in a pan with their sauce of choice. We were so busy that we forgot to serve the Cesar salad, the garlic bread made it to the end of the meal, and the stuffed mushrooms made it to the dessert table, but it was crazy fun! And yummy! I am sad that I didn&#8217;t get pictures of everyone, and those I did get were of the people I could grab as they headed out the door! But thanks for coming everyone! And Mama, I hope you had a wonderful and happy birthday and feel special and loved as you are.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4393ps-1.jpg\" title=\" As we were waiting for Mama to arrive my cousin George danced around the kitchen with Ian.\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4393ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" As we were waiting for Mama to arrive my cousin George danced around the kitchen with Ian.\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4394ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Surprise!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4394ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Surprise!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4397ps-1.jpg\" title=\" and happy birthday!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4397ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" and happy birthday!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4399ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Peter had just flown in an hour before!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4399ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Peter had just flown in an hour before!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4402ps-1.jpg\" title=\" The Bishops!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4402ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" The Bishops!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4404ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Regina, Brett, Jim, Debbie, Mama, and I\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4404ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Regina, Brett, Jim, Debbie, Mama, and I\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4407ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Brett, Regina, Veronique and Peter\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4407ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Brett, Regina, Veronique and Peter\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4409ps-1.jpg\" title=\" She will always be my Larin. :-)\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4409ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" She will always be my Larin. :-)\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4411ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Seth, Austin, Jerome, and Ian\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4411ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Seth, Austin, Jerome, and Ian\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4414ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Melissa and Regina\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4414ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Melissa and Regina\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4415ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Aunt JoAnn and Uncle Sammy!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4415ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Aunt JoAnn and Uncle Sammy!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4416ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Mama, JoAnn, and Sammy\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4416ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Mama, JoAnn, and Sammy\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[mamasbday]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4418ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Happy birthday, Mama!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_4418ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Happy birthday, Mama!\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was the first time I&#8217;d been with Mama for her birthday in years and Regina and I wanted to throw her a party.
