Celebrating the big ?0 !!

My mom turned an age that ends in a 0. She doesn't look that age, and as her kids its hard to believe that she IS that age. So we decided to celebrate her ?0th Birthday by inviting all the women on her side of the family and heading for Omaha.  (and I refuse to tell which number goes in front of that 0)

• 6+ hours in the car with both boys and Brian.
• 4 hours in the "party van" (my sister couldn't handle the idea of driving a minivan, even though it was a very nice minivan)
• 2 adjoining hotel suites 
• 8 Buelt women that hadn't all been together in quite a while
• 2 dozen chocolate filled chocolate cupcakes and 1 margarita cake
• 7 makeovers with more laughing and more heckling than I have ever had at any party
• All the FREE drinks we could handle at the manager's reception
• 2 women in tiaras with the same # in front of their 0 (my mom was by far the classier and better looking of the two)
• 1 woman way too old to be saying "OMG" OR inviting my mother to an "adult toy party" in room 720
• 3 daughters that will ALWAYS be too young to hear "adult toy party" in the presence of their mother
• 1 very nice driver who drove us out of the hotel shuttle range so we could go to the Clancy's Irish Pub that was NOT a dance club
• 4 new shirts from last year's St Patrick's Day celebration (but they said Clancy's, so we bough them)
• 1 driver that thankfully came back and picked us up even though we were out of the free shuttle range
• 0 laughs or smiles from the driver who had to endure 8 women laughing about everything from "Turt's Titties" to "designer print Depends"
• 2 years until we have our next ?0 Birthday celebration

(and see, I never said the number goes in front of that 0) Happy Birthday Mom!
