Tuppy's toast included the phrase "And I'm still here!!"

And the party went really well and was kinda perfect for my sweet Mom; multi-colored tulips, her closest friends (dating back to when they moved to California in the 80's), tiny Finnish flags in the dessert, and of course her seven favorite kids :) with my family, it's always a family affair!
Oh, I wrote more about the party/weekend here and shared what I wore here.
Ok, now I'm really signing off to head to Chicago for the weekend. Follow along in the meantime on Instagram or Twitter, if you like!
