July 31, 2006: Mom's 60th Birthday with Elvis

I decided that I wanted to do something special for my mom's 60th birthday, so I talked to my Aunt Charlene.  She suggested this Elvis impersonator from Grand Rapids, so she booked him for my mom's surprise birthday party.     We had the party at Sam's Joint in Coopersville.    My mom knew we were having a family dinner with Steve, Charlene, Kelsey, Matt, Devon, and Emma, but had no idea that we also invited her friends, Judy and George Zubrickas, as well as Bob and Becky Dykema.

My mom was so surprised when she got to the restaurant.  The Elvis impersonator was so funny.    Elvis sang to her, too.      It was so nice to see her so happy on her birthday. I will never forget that birthday.
