Mamoo's Birthday

Mamoo turned 91 yesterday. She's as beautiful as ever and we were glad to be able to join her for a birthday dinner. Since we were going to Garibaldi's (not a place that serves chicken nuggets!), we got a babysitter to stay with Olivia and McIver. But, Mamoo stopped by on her way to the restaurant so that Olivia and McIver could wish her a Happy Birthday.

McIver showing Mamoo the Star Wars Lego figure he put together (it was her birthday gift to him).

Bobby, Mamoo & Jimmy before dinner. We were also joined by Papa's sister, Mary Catherine, and her two children, Becky & Steve and Steve's wife Bonnie. It's very obvious how much Mamoo means to everyone!

Our waiter brought a special dessert for Mamoo, along with a giant candelabra. She was very surprised and, I think, really enjoyed her birthday dinner.
