Great video Stef, and Jason probably gets some credit in there too :)!
Is mom around a computer today to see it? Happy Birthday mom!

Dear Each of you,

There are not words to express how grateful I am to you for your outpouring of love for me. Your thoughtfulness and kindness are overwhelming to me. The birthday video was wonderful! Grace's "dog jaw" is a riot! Thanks to all of you girls who did such a great job of planning a weekend that was so much fun. I have been inspired to start making cards, thanks to your creativity and making the supplies available. "Wicked" was such a good show - I'm so glad we went. Our lunch at Johnny Carino's was delicious and a real treat for me since dad doesn't care for Italian food. The chicken salad sandwiches were the best and so was the chicken tortilla soup!

Lewis, thanks for leaving your family at such a busy time to come and join us for lunch. Tracy, Caitlin, and Lauren, thank you for leaving in the middle of a major undetaking to spend time with me. Layne, thanks for your contribution to the birthday video and the tour of your home.

You are all wonderful, amazing people and I feel so honored to be your mother. I know each of you made a sacrifice to be here - I appreciate that sacrifice - I appreciate the husbands who made it possible for you to leave your home and children to be here.

Thank you for the best birthday ever! And thank you for being fabulous, generous, thoughtful, caring, faithful people. I am very grateful for each of you and I am especially grateful at this time for the sealing power that binds us together. "I'll like you for always, I'll love you forever; forever and always my babies you'll be." With much love, Mom :)

We wouldn't have missed it for anything in the world. Jon is sorry he missed out. So glad you had a good time and that you had so much fun.
