Wow Mom - this "has been coming for a long time and this is it!" 80 years young! You have been so worried about how old 80 sounds - that you forget to ACT 80. You are so young at heart and mind that 80 seems like the new 40! Happy Birthday MOM! We love you so much. Thank you for being the best Mom in the world!
We all got together for a big party at our house to celebrate Mom turning 80 and Ryan turning 18. Thanks for flying up to join the celebration Linda! Surprise MOM!
Cakes, balloons, cookies, games, streamers - we had a great, old-fashioned birthday party!
Carol made a fun word search because Mom loves them! It was hard!
We played a "stuff the little balloons in your oversized clothes" game. Even Mom and Dad got into the fun. Somebody call Weight Watchers quick!
Another card with $100 in it. Dad has kept this tradition going for many years. Mom still has the $100 bill in most of the cards. She never spends it. Dad shops all over the country for the funniest and silliest "money" cards. Another good one Dad! The C note is coming out of the gorilla's mouth.
We got a picture of each of us with Mom and Dad.
Now all 4 girls are together. 2 blonds, 2 brunettes.
All the Spokane grandkids attending the party. Except Ryan had to leave earlier.... We'll photoshop him in!
We always have fun when Mom and Dad come to Spokane. I think they enjoy the busy life for a while but I'll bet they are glad to get back to the retired life in Utah.

Happy Bithday Grandma!!! What a fun party. We sure were thinking of you on your special day.
Love, Love, Love the balloon games. Too funny. We need to play that at the family reunion.
So fun that Linda could come too! What a great surprise.
How fun to read about a family get-together in Spokane that I actually attended! Thanks for the darling pictures. What a fun memory!
Love, Linda
So fun! I love the "fat" pictures of Grandma and Grandpa! Classic! So cute! We need to have a replay at the family reunion!
