My Mom Retired!

My mom recently retired and in order to celebrate we had a party! This is the first big event we've had at their house since the backyard was redone and I think everything turned out perfectly! Branden and I arrived early on Saturday and helped set everything up. We even had enough time to go for a swim since it was so warm!

I made my mom a fun retirement gift basket and she loved it!

Here are all of the things I put in her basket:

Key Chain – For being a “key” to the workplace

Marbles – To replace the ones you’ve lost

Pillow – Because you’ve earned your rest

Confetti – To celebrate the joys of retirement

Seeds – For all your dreams to grow

Chalk – To “chalk” it up as a job well done

Mints – For a fresh look at retire”mint”

Bath Salt – To soak up the extra stress

Kit Kat – Because it’s time to take a “Break”

Lotto Ticket – Supplemental Income

Wine Bottle – Fountain of Youth

Blow Pops - Work Blows

Here are some pictures from the actual party:

Overall the party was a huge success! Congratulations to my wonderful mother on her retirement! I'm so happy she is able to do nothing but relax now!
