We had a very fun reason for my family to head to St. George (post to come) and celebrate.
My mom turned the big 60 this year. 
We celebrated by giving her 60 presents or things she loves like ... chapstick, daffodils, coke, green apples, black jelly beans, el sol, cadbury eggs, peeps, orange slices, raspberries, fresh salsa, avocados, fiesta ware, travel atlas, salt and vinegar chips, magazines, new pencils, quilting needles, etc... It was fun for all the kids to think of things MOM loves. I think she even got a bit embarrassed opening so many gifts! 
Since MOM has 6 kids, we all wrote 10 things we love about her and put them in a jar. What an amazing women with so many compliments. I hope I can be half the mom and wife she is. It makes you want to be a better person for sure. Happy Birthday Mom, we sure do love you, look up to you, and want to be like you!! Obviously my kids adore their grandma, check out the picture of them fighting over her below.
