Mom's Birthday!

My mom's birthday was Feb. 12th but as a family we celebrated after church on Sunday the 15th. We didn't want her to have to cook for everyone on her birthday so we ordered Applebees to go! It was delicious, easy to clean up and nobody had to lift a finger to cook it! Emily, however, did make a very delicious dessert to have afterwards! Since my mom does so much for all of us and has our whole lives we really wanted to do something special for her. She never ever buys anything for herself and every time we ask her what she wants for Christmas or Birthdays she never gives us any ideas. She always says, "I am truly blessed with what I have, I honestly don't need anything else". Her mixer is small and really old and is used all the time so we have been wanting to get her a new mixer for a while now. We never really got all the funds rounded up to be able to do it though. So this year for her birthday all my sisters, my dad, and my grandma all went in to buy her a professional Kitchen Aid mixer. She has wanted one for so long and uses a mixer almost every week to cook for us on Sundays. I think she was pretty happy with her gift and we were all happy we could finally get her something she really wanted!
