65 yrs YOUNG!

This month my mom celebrated her 65th birthday! Pretty cool, huh? We had a great time planning some surprises for her. On her actual birthday (the 16th), we had a little girls day out with the sisters and some of her friends. We surprised her by all meeting to see "Good Things Utah." It was fun to be in the audience and see behind the scenes a bit. Then, we went to the Lion House for lunch. I think my mom thought that was the end of the celebration since she was surprised by all her friends coming. We had a couple more tricks up our sleeves. We set up a fake night for dinner, but really had a weekend surprise planned for Park City. My dad told her an elaborate story about meeting some guy in Park City who was going to show them a vintage plane (I know mom was thrilled about that). However, we were all waiting at a restaurant to catch her off guard. While at dinner we surprised her with a scrapbook with photos and letters from each of us. We also surprised her by renting a wonderful house for the weekend. The next day she was even more surprised when her sister flew in from CA. I don't think we could have come up with more than we did...she loved it all. We had a great time hanging out, playing games, eating, going to the Alpine slide and even doing a Pioneer Day presentation to celebrate the 24th. Happy Birthday mom....we love you! I also need to give a birthday shout out to my dad who celebrated yesterday...and happy anniversary to mom and dad yesterday, too!
