On Monday night, we went with my brother Brian and his family up to Salt Lake City. That's because my dad planned a surprise birthday party for my mom! We met at the Lion House for dinner, and I'm pretty sure my mom was surprised. My brother Mike and his family were also there. We had a really yummy dinner and walked around Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. My mom isn't really into presents (she likes people calling or coming to see her more), but she received several thoughtful gifts. My sister-in-law Krystal had a cool idea to have all of the moms interview their kids about Grandma. She sent us a list of questions like "What is Grandma's favorite animal?" The kids loved participating in it, and the answers were really cute. Then Krystal typed it all up and emailed it to me so that I could put it in a notebook and bring it to the party. Krystal wasn't at the party, though, because they live in Seattle and had just been down for Thanksgiving. And her kids were two of the kids who got really sick from that family togetherness. Speaking of sick, Benjamin was sick again on Sunday (this time vomiting repeatedly), so he missed the party on Monday. Poor kid. My fabulous mother-in-law babysat again. On Tuesday, he was finally all better.
