Happy 60th Grandma Bonner!


On Wednesday October 15th, we threw my mom a BIG surprise 60th Birthday aboard a yacht.  The entire event was absolutely awesome and mom was soooo surprised.  At first, she didn't even realize the party was for her.  The great idea was my dads, but Cam, Wendy and I pitched in as much as we could to make sure that everything was perfect for the evening.  The event took place on the Chardonnay Commodore Yacht and included around 40 of my mom and dad's dearest friends.  There were friends there from high school, college and even the surplus business.  The food was amazing, I especially enjoyed the salmon and boy did the guests tear up the dance floor.  I personally had a great time and was so excited that I did not get sick.  It was great to see my mom so happy and for us to be celebrating such a special event with those whom we love dearly.
SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
Here is picture of some of the guests who came to celebrate the monumental event of my mom turning 60.  She really doesn't even look 60 at all.....those Japanese women.

Here is a picture of Cam and I as we get ready to have dinner.  I was a little nervous because I gave a little speech that night and with no wine to simmer me down I didn't know how I would do.


Here is a picture of Wendy and Noodles.  I was so excited that Wendy was able to come all the way from New York mid-week for the event.  It actually worked out perfectly because not only were we able to celebrate mom's 60th with Wen, but also dad's 59th.
I think this was the part where I was giving my speech.  Other friends got up and said some very kind words about my mom.   It was so great to hear the stories of mom and dad in the days....though some were a little x-rated.
This was my favorite thing of the whole night.  The Guava cake my dad ordered from Aki's Bakery in San Jose.  The flavor was actually really good, but I loved the picture of my mom on there.  It was such a cute idea!
