SURPRIZE! She originally came through the back door, so the surprise
was semi ruined. But she came back through the front door like was
originally planned so we could yell surprise and get our pictures =)
My mom hates to be the center of attention.

My mom said she likes this picture a lot because it reminds
her of when I was little. Whenever there was an event where she
was opening presents (her wedding shower, Mikey's baby shower, etc.) there
are always pictures of me sitting right next to her, helping her open
presents =) Here I am again!
Dad and some friends watching mom open her presents
Dad playing with mom's hemroid creme =)
