Happy 60th Birthday Mom!!

Happy Birthday Mom (and Grandma)! We love you very much and appreciate all you have done for us. You have been such a wonderful mom and the best grandma for my kids. We hope you enjoy the next many years to come!
Love, Carrie and Chon, Cooper, Cambrie, Conlie and Cannon.

What a beautiful baby!!

You were so pretty (and still are)....even with the Wiglet!!

Mindi made some awesome decorations for the party. This is a little hard to see but these are all picture of moms life. It is so fun to see her in her younger years.

More handmade decorations by Mindi. They were so beautiful! Good thing you offered to do the decorations, or it would have been crepe paper galore if it was up to the rest of us!!

Cambrie was "hired" by dad to make the party invitations. Aren't they cute?

Mom and Dad...not only is this a big year for moms birthday, but they are also celebrating 40 years of marriage this month. I couldn't ask for a better mom and day! Have fun in Hawaii celebrating - You deserve it!

Mom with her parents, Lyle and Joyce Gailey. They have always been wonderful parents to her and awesome grandparents and great-grandparents to us!! We are so grateful for them!

As you can see, Conlie is really enjoying the party!

Mom got some nice gifts. I think her favorite was the DVD of her life that Hollie put together. It was amazing and showed the most important aspects of her 60 years...her family. It was so special for all of us to watch! Thanks Hollie for all your hard work!


Venna's pride and joy is her grandkids so here's a few pictures of them at the party. Conlie wouldn't cooperate so all of the pictures of her are very silly. Katelyn, Cambrie, Londyn, Colten, Cannon, Cooper, Conlie, and Brooklyn.

Cute Brooklyn. She was so happy and photogenic!

Cannon had a blast with the wrapping paper...we had a blast laughing at him with a bow on his head. The things we do to our kids!!

Happy Birthday Venna! And happy 40th anniversary!! Your parents are so cute and young looking Carrie! What a fun party! And I love the pictures of Bear Lake! I'm jealous! That's always such a fun trip! Did you guys get any raspberry shakes? :) Conlie is a crack up. Tre's got so much personality too. I think it must be 3rd child syndrome. lol!

Thank you Troy, Brandy and boys. It was a very special party, one I will never forget. The kids and Bob all put a lot of work into it and it was a lot of fun. I was totally surprised. Carrie said it best when she said it's all about what is most important to me, my family. The DVD captured it all and will be cherished forever! Thanks Choi family, you are the best! Love mom/grandma
