Several of Mom’s teacher friends threw a surprise retirement party for her on Friday, May 8th.  The party was at Los Cabos for dinner and mom was very surprised when she walked in!  She thought she was just having dinner with these two friends: 

Little did she know all of these people were there to celebrate her!

Me and Mom:

Karen, Mom, and Laura

Sara and Mom

The mariachi band from the restaurant serenaded Mom with several songs and we were all cracking up due to Mom’s obvious embarrassment!  They sang “Pretty Woman,
“La Bamba”, and “Take This Job and Shove It!” 

I am so proud of Mom for finishing her teaching career so well.  She is so loved by her students, parents, and co-workers.  She was an awesome 3rd grade teacher and now I’m grateful that we have our very own private tutor for my kids!
