tonight we celebrated eileen's birthday at the mandarin, eileen's favorite restaurant. we decided after tonight that we don't go there enough, the food was excellent, i ate like a pig! we will definitely be doing this over christmas when we have the out-of-towners in town, it's practically a family tradition. hopefully though i will get there between now and then. yum. ok, so i am going to spare eileen (and the rest of my readers) a list of 62 things that i love about eileen, and choose ten instead. as a side note: the children are helping witht his list... here goes...1. she is gentle, kind and patient - no one can recall ever hearing her raise her voice.
2. she loves her grand kids so much, she had a "family tree" painted on her kitchen wall just so she could see all their faces all the time (and show them off of course).
3. she has made hundreds of batches of her heavenly homemade rolls. i've tried to duplicate them several times, they're never the same.
4. she is very brave. she just came home from serving a mission in africa with grandpa - a place you will never find me because i'm too chicken to go there..JPG)
5. she signs her letters and emails 143 which means i love you.
6. she makes great buzz light year and lightning mcqueen pjs. (i'll post a picture tomorrow)
7. she's worked as many hours in our yard as she has in her own.
8. she loves to have our family over for cards and brownies.
9. she loves the 24th of july parade - we're excited to watch it with her this year.
10. she raised seven fantastic children who all grew up to be loving and hard working parents.
Happy Birthday Eileen!
We LOVE You!
