Moms Birthday at 101 years old

We celebrated Mom's 101st birthday on November 23.   A Thanksgiving dinner with her the day before Thanksgiving and a coconut cake which is her favorite.

Born November 23rd, 1921 in Chase City Va.

We all had a wonderful happy time.  

God has Blessed all of us!

Food was ordered from Cracker Barrel so we could celebrate a Thanksgiving with Mom at my brother's home

I wish I had gotten other pictures of my sisters and family, but everyone was having a good time inside and outside on this sunny gorgeous day. 
I went through my pictures, and I didn't get one of me with Mom.  Well, that is disappointing. 
I will have to get one this week end and post.

Dearest Betsy,
That is what happens if you are the photographer... But you better make sure you got one before it will be too late!
Happy belated Birthday to your Mom—how incredible to reach 101 with her mind still functioning. A true blessing.
Glad you all got together with her.
Hugs,
Mariette

Wow, Betsy, this is amazing!! 101 years old! I can tell your Mom was a pretty lady, and her skin is still so lovely. Please wish her a belated Happy Birthday from me! You surely are blessed. My husband's grandmother died just a few weeks before her 101st birthday, but she had been sick for several months. I'm glad you had such a nice Thanksgiving with all your family. :)

Hugs,

Denise at Forest Manor
