Grandma Barnes is 75!

We had Grandma Barnes here all last week for her birthday. She had mentioned to John last year that she wanted all of her 6 kids together for her 75th birthday and she wanted to see The Phantom of the Opera. We were able to get her part of her wish. Two of her daughters surprised her on Friday night, Cathi came from Mesa and Edie came from Wyoming. We were SO HAPPY that they made the effort to come. It meant SO much to Grandma. I wish the others would have tried harder to be here.

We played games Friday night... Saturday we picked up Edie's best friend who was visiting her mom across town. Then we went shopping and had lunch at Cafe Rio.

Saturday night we went to see The Phantom tickets and got a backstage tour after the show!! It was AMAZING! If you haven't seen Phantom in Vegas, you need to. The theater is beautiful and it was built just for this show.

The big surprise!
