So today was my mother's birthday. And I was really saddened by the fact that I was unable to be there with her to celebrate. I can only remember one birthday I was able to spend with her in the last few years. (When she came to San Diego and we went to VEGAS....so fun...so many great memories!!) I had no clue what to 'get' her for her birthday--well I somehow stumbled upon a website that sold Birthday Cakes. (made in New York, shipped to anywhere in the USA) The website was festive and fun and included an online "virtual party" that I set up by sending invites to her family (the party attendees). They went to the Virtual Party page and left notes and Happy Birthday wishes for my mom, who received this "Party" via email ON her birthday. So that in itself is worth checking out the website (you can use the Virtual Party feature regardless of whether or not you purchase a cake) Well, I certainly woudn't have sent my mom a big decadent chocolate cake to eat by her self......I knew my seester and her family were going to be with Mom to celebrate so I purchased the cake. It included candles, silverware, napkins and a Birthday Sign. So even though I wasn't there in body to throw my mom a party...I still managed to throw her a party....and I was there in spirit...and ON THE PHONE. (these pics are courtesy of my SEESTER) *thanks Sees*

Although it was super sad for me not to be there with her, I was so thrilled to be able to be on the phone when they sang and when she blew out the candles and such. Mom, I miss you terribly. I hope you had a great birthday and I soooooooo look forward to the day when I can bake you a cake, sing to you in PERSON, wish you a HAPPY HAPPY Birthday and top it off with a great big hug. I love you 80808080!
