Mom's Retirement Celebration


Since a lot of our family was going to be together in Sunriver, my dad thought it would be fun to have a little "surprise" get together to celebrate my mom retiring.  She is officially retired, but will still work a little next year so we will have a bigger celebration when she really flies the coop! Uncle Jim and Aunt Kathy offered their house so it would be a surprise, and it was! It was a nice little party and she was truly surprised. Congrats mama!
