My mom is a leap-year baby, so when it’s a leap year, it’s a big deal. This year is even more special because she turned 80.

We celebrated at our favorite local restaurant, Via Trenta in Astoria, on her birthday.

Last week, we celebrated with family and friends at Luigi’s Restaurant in New Hyde Park.

The day was filled with smiles and laughter.

We had a few interactive elements.

Also, shared some fun pictures of Mom.

We also had some goodie bags!

It was a fun afternoon. I’m glad we got to celebrate Mom, and cheers to many more birthdays to come.
