We woke up this morning and quietly tried to surprise Margaret with some cinnamon rolls we picked up the night before. She was so darling making such a fuss over our simple little birthday gesture. It made me so anxious for her to see all that we had in store for her at our family party. Steve, Margaret, Aaron, and I went for a nice walk together. Then Aaron and I left for a bit to run some errands for the party. We bought some beautiful white roses at Costco--5 dozen for the program.
We returned to Heber to get ready and drive to Jackson's championship game in Salt Lake. Even though they lost, Jackson's 34 yard kick was really exciting. He scored the only points for his team during the game.
Then we headed to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Everything was stunning. Susan made beautiful favors, Kelly-- beautiful name tags and framed photos, Stacy-- lovely centerpieces, AnnDee brought some touching quotes, and Lindsay---a gorgeous cake. Everything was perfect. The play we performed, "This is Your Life Margaret Nadauld", was so fun and entertaining and the guests we invited were such a surprise to Margaret.
I think she loved every second of it. My favorite parts were the amazing missionary quartet and Kelly's touching slideshow, The Geneva missionaries were a huge surprise and their professional voices were stunning. They sang a medley in French and there wasn't a dry eye in the room.
I am so grateful to have such a remarkable mother-in-law.
