Baby girl turns 58 (from April)

Mother turned 58 on April 12th so we tried to celebrate as much as possible with her. Celebrations tend to be short because of Carole's normal bedtime of 7pm but we did manage to party until 8pm on Sunday for her birthday. Friday, the actual day of her birthday, Melanie brought Mother down to my restaurant for birthday Margaritas. Afterwards, they went for birthday sundaes! The first two picture are of Mother insisting she have a cigarette and then insisting Melanie and her go out to lunch. Usually she's not asking for something crazy so we cave in and let our girl have what she wants. Sometimes with the dementia anxiety a cig is a great life line to calming that lady. For her birthday she had a nice night with Melanie. Sunday we had a wee get together for Mother with her babies (grand babies and cats included) and lots of cake. I'm bummed I wasn't able to get a picture of her in the birthday hat, but she did wear it for awhile.
