Dad's 60th Birthday Surprise

Dad's 60th Birthday Party was a complete surprise to him! Mom and the girls code name for the party was: RED VELVET. The code name was devised to redirect Dad in thinking someone needed a recipe for a red velvet cake from mom. As the day came near, we realized Dad still had no idea that there was even a surprise party on the rise. To conceal the preparations for his party Mom had concocted the idea of a "Ward Party" that the Relief Society would be in charge of. The night came and many arrived from near and far to enjoy this rare and special occasion. Dad was shocked- so shocked he jumped. All of his five daughters were in attendance, as well as two of his Marine Corp. buddies, two of his cousins and their spouses, his sister and brother in-law, and wonderful friends in the local area. The night was perfect. Happy Birthday Dad.

Happy Birthday President Hiers!

Our best to you on your big occasion and a wish for many happy returns!

Thanks for your great service to the people in the Boston MA Stake and to us as employment missionaries there. You and others in the stake made our time in New England a great memory. We loved our mission and have often said that we felt it was Taylor- made for us.

It was great to see many familiar faces in the blog. Hope you didn't mind our eavesdropping!

Our love from Utah. as we try to adjust our lives back here with friends and family,

Elder and Sister Excell (Evan and Nicki- in Utah)
