Celebrating 60!

We had a wonderful time celebrating mom and dad's 60th birthday last night with many of our close friends and family! As always, Celia prepared an amazing spread including appetizers, chicken and salmon (Fresh salmon, caught by Patrick just a day or two earlier) dinner and finally some amazing desserts! Did I mention the amazing decorations that Celia and Kattrina put together also. You can see a small glimpse of them in the pictures. I was assigned with one simple task and couldn't even complete it : ) but Kattrina, Grace and Christian came through for me. Therefore I must give most of the organizing and prep credit to Celia and Kattrina. Way to go girls!! (Living an hour or so away has it's advantages and disadvantages : ) We were so happy to also have Uncle Jay, Aunt Carmen, Amanda and Grace from Redding here to celebrate with us!  Mom and dad had a great time and got some good laughs in while opening presents. (You can picture and only imagine what people give to others turning 60!) The last gift of the evening was so perfect for dad. A couple that they go to church with made dad an AMEN sign for church complete with instructions on the back for the appropriate times to use during church. Everyone got a good laugh out of it! I am so thankful for my parents and for the celebration we had for them last night. They deserved every minute of it!!
