Happy 60th Birthday Mom!
Today is my mom’s Birthday and for the past 60 days I have been counting down to her Birthday! Everyday I added a gift (so on Day One she got one gift, Day Two 2 gifts, etc). Mom loved getting a new gift every day. Everyday I also gave her a letter with the new gift and all the previous gifts listed.
Today’s letter:
