Tomorrow is my mom's birthday which she shares with her cousin. When Luke was a little boy, he called the cousin "Noah", so that's what we still call her. She is not a product of crazy Bible parents.
Baby and I planned a full day of fun for the birthday girls, even though it's not quite their special day, it's close enough. And at their age, we better party while we can!
We went to Abilene for the day. First thing, we toured the Seeleye Mansion. It was fabulous. If you have ever driven down the main street of Abilene and thought you should stop at this amazing house, you certainly must! It was worth the price of admission.
Here is Mom and Noah with the owner of the house. He was a hoot. And a Republican. Of course.
Nautrally, you can't go to Abilene without having a meal at The Brookville Hotel. It was sooooo good! Baby and I even planned ahead and took a cooler so we could bring the extra chicken home without also bringing home salmonella.
The best time to visit the Russell Stover factory outlet is when you are so full from lunch that you don't want to buy everything!
After mandatory naps, the party continued in the evening with dominos, gifts, birthday tiaras and cake.
Oh, and it goes without saying that the framed pictures of Baby and me were the hit of the party. We put them in frames that said "Family is forever".
We are so funny! Just ask anyone.
