Last night we surprised my mom with a b'day party for her 60th.  Her actual b'day is not until 3/30 but with babies coming and 4 family schedules to work around we decided to REALLY surprise her by having it 25 days early!  We had one of our family favorite's for dinner – glorious mess.  We were split into two teams and played "Minute to Win It" games.  And we had a chocolate cake from HERE (two words – YUM-MY!).  And Anne put together an amazing video of pictures of all of us and Mom through the years (including a pic of the two new-bies due to make an appearance this year – Reid and "Boss Hog" (until appropriately named).  It was so special and all I could think the whole time was – we have had a happy life.  It was great fun to be together and celebrate this woman we all adore!  Happy Birthday Momma!

Friends: Watch this video and see for ourselves where I get my competitive edge. :)  It's an engrained genetic trait.

p.s. Caleb insisted on wearing his new green wig!  I think he looks like a leprechaun version of the orphan Annie. 🙂

p.p.s.  This video makes me really happy.  We're pretty blessed.

    Happy Early Birthday, Nancy! You must be so proud of the fine children you raised, and the darling grandchildren you love. I’m glad they surrounded you to celebrate. I hope your “real” birthday is every bit as wonderful!
    Meredith, you are lovely in every way. After our recent lunch conversation, I cried as I listened to you cheer for Jacob. You are a great mom.
