Happy 60th Mom & Dad!

We celebrated Mom & Dad's 60th birthday today.  I have 2 pretty wonderful parents and I can't imagine life without them - especially the last few months.  I've always loved them but I have a whole new appreciation for them now that I'm a parent.

We surprised them with a book filled with notes, pictures, and memories from many of their friends and family as well as a framed picture of all SIX of their grandkids.    It was a fun time and I'm glad we got to celebrate them.  

We love you, Mom & Dad!

The best part of all of this was probably getting the picture of the grandkids.  Corralling 6 kids mostly under 3 is a challenge!  This "project" included bribing with hot cocoa and marshmallows, designated sitting spots, lots of parents making funny faces, and a smiley face on the top of the camera - "look here!" - to name a few.  Here are the outtakes, and the best shot at the end.
