We were excited to be able to celebrate my Mom's birthday (May 23rd) with her while she was here. The girls were especially excited when they realized that she was going to be at our house on her birthday. Elaina is a party planner and started making plans for the big day.
Unfortunately the morning of her birthday Isaac was sent back into the hospital and it was just a stressful day. Luckily we hadn't told the girls yet that it was that day, so my Mom suggested we just not say anything to the girls and celebrate on a totally separate day instead. I appreciate her sacrificing her special day for me.
So we woke up on May 30th (a week later when Isaac was better) and told the girls "today is Nana's birthday!" They treated her like a queen all day on her non-birthday and we loved having her here with us to celebrate

Homemade gifts are the best! Erin is explaining the picture she colored

Elaina made her an activity book with mazes and coloring pages. She is so creative!

And my Mom even let me off the hook, and was ok with a store bought cake! Actually I think I probably sent her to the store to get her own birthday cake! How sad is that!?!

She had some helpers to blow out the candles. Thanks for letting us share your birthday and your non-birthday with you Mom!

Thank-you to all the Trousdales for an absolutely spectacular day - both on my real day and the celebrations a week later. I can't imagine a better way to spend the day than with grandkids.
How fun! So great that your mom was able to be there with you guys (and keep her real birthday a secret).
