We honored Ernie at a surprise birthday party on Friday evening, April 29, 2011 with 30 friends and loved ones in our home in Bakersfield, CA. As Ernie walked through the door from work, he was greeted by a chorus of "Happy Birthday" and well wishes. Among those attending were friends of 20 years from Bakersfield, as well as the surprise attendance of Marv and Denise Procter - friends of 27 years, who drove all the way from South Weber, Utah! The highlight of the evening was when Ernie was given the ultimate surprise of watching Spence, Aly, Will and Lilly walk through the door! They live in Salt Lake City, Utah and arrived that evening to spend the weekend celebrating Dad and Grampa! Special thanks to Jess for her assistance in planning and carrying out this wonderful celebration!
Saturday morning we woke early and shared breakfast with the Procters before they drove back to Utah. Our family then piled into the car as we were to spend the day at Disneyland =D What a wonderful time was shared as we viewed Disneyland through the eyes of a child. Will and Lilly LOVED it and so of course --- we did too =D What a blessed weekend full of happy memories to last a lifetime!
