Aunt Verla's Birthday - Pictures Galore

First Disclaimer, for those who know....These aren't in perfect order...okay they are totally out of order but it was two days of fun filled days of family togetherness so I am not worried about order.

If I haven’t mentioned it before, I have the best Aunt in the whole wide world!! She is my dad’s sister and her name is Verla. She was the only daughter in their family with 5 brothers who were crazy wild, so maybe that is what made her so amazing. Anyway it was her 80^th birthday and they were having a party for her in Boise on Monday and we really wanted to go but knew Monday wouldn’t work for all of us. So, we decided we would surprise her and go on Saturday to Boise for her birthday. We worked things out with her amazing daughter Brenda and we were able to have dinner with most of their family and most of our family. All of us kids were able to go except Merrill and some of our kids. The boys took their wives, but all of us girls left our husbands at home. We had such a great time and the best part was how excited Aunt Verla got when she saw all of us there. She only thought mom and dad were coming so when she opened the door and saw all 20 of us standing there it was so worth going. The look on her face was priceless!! We stayed at her house and visited for a while and then we met her kids and their families that could come for dinner and then went back to the hotel so the kids could swim and Aunt Verla and Uncle Bob came to visit and brought us doughnuts for dessert. Then on Sunday we all went to church with her in Brenda’s ward and then we went to lunch and headed for home.
