DAD SORENSON'S 85TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Christine and I loaded up the boys and headed to Denver Colorado last week to join in celebrating Dad Sorenson's and his twin sister Nilace's 85th Birthday. We had the best time being there with Dad, Mom, Lisa and her wonderful husband Garth and darling son Owen.

Lisa was definitely the most gracious host and made us feel so welcome and at home. Lisa is so talented and we felt like we were getting a one-on-one class from Martha Stewart herself only better.

Lisa's son Owen was such a good sport to share all his toys and his room with us. Carter and Easton especially loved that he had several Light Sabers and a R2-D2 that was voice activated and did some amazing things. They were in Star Wars heaven and played hard every day.

Dinner the night of the birthday was amazing and it was fun to see Aunt Nilace and meet her family that came for the celebration. We enjoyed the beautiful Colorado evening in the backyard and shared lots of laughs and ate some amazingly delicious food.

Dad and Mom Sorenson are famous for their "Big Drinks", they are always carrying around a large glass of Coke. Christine saw this HUGE jug in a gas station that we stopped at and we just couldn't resist getting it for Dad Sorenson for his present. It was the hit of the party and everyone got a big chuckle out of it. Dad told Mom that she was going to have to sit in the back seat of the car going home because he was buckling the jug in next to him for the drive home. Mom said he should put it between his legs on the floor board of the car with a big tube in it so he could just drink it all the way home. We were all laughing so hard.

I am so grateful to Dad Sorenson for all he has done for me and my family. He is a GREAT man whom I adore, admire and love. I am so glad that Christine and I made the beautiful drive to Denver to celebrate that great day with him.
