Happy Birthday Gladys!

This weekend we had a surprise party for my Mother-in-law. She turned 60! We have been planning this party for a couple of months and had everyone in her family, and some of her friends, in Idaho to surprise her. The look on her face when she got to her brother's house, where we were all waiting, was priceless! She was very emotional and genuinely surprised. While we were eating dinner, Gladys asked me why would we do this for her? I was shocked! Nobody deserves it more than her! Anyone who knows her, knows what a wonderful, selfless person she is. She will do anything for anyone, especially her family members. She recently has moved to Pocatello and we miss her very much! I know that she is so happy to be around her siblings again and to finally have a place she can call home so we are happy for her.
We wanted her entire family to be there, so we flew Crystal (her oldest grandchild) in from Arizona. I think Gladys was very surprised to see her and was very emotional. When we were taking these pictures, Jake said to me "Grandma's face isn't red anymore. She had a red face because she was crying, but she wasn't sad, she was happy. She was crying so much that it looked like her face was sweating!" It made us all cry because we love her so much and want her to have what will make her happy! Happy Birthday Gladys!
