Celebrating MUM turn 60



Beautiful cake by Dee at http://www.cakesbydee.com.au
Mums 60 Birthday party was a great night of friends and family to help her celebrate. My sister Jane did all the cooking and preparing of food, and it was all lovely. Kim and I played waitresses.
We surprised her with this beautiful cake that we had made in shape of a bed with quilt as mum is a sewer and makes lots of quilts. This year she has promised to make me one with cockatoos all over it. Hope you had a great night mum.Happy Birthday..
