 PRIZE for winning the Costume Contest... complete with Hot Tamales relabeled as "Hot Fogies." Jeff & Heather WON! Their costumes were awesome... walker and all! (Thanks Beau. :)

 My first attempt at making a tiered cake.

 High-Heeled Cake Cutter

 To eliminate awkward glances while in our elderly attire we had the banquet room all to ourselves. Whew! :)

 Valerie's Chair - Complete with a Lighted Menu Magnifier, Hot Flash Extinguisher, Candle Douser, and a Necklace of (Elderly) Necessities.

 The Geezer Group... before the Nielsens arrived.

 Jeff & Heather

Best Costume Winners! No surprise there. Aren't their oufits legit?! Who knew a couple of Geriatrics could be this hot? :)

 Jim & Sarah

Tell me they don't look AWESOME!!! Cane... glasses... Bolo Tie... and the most festive vests ever created. :) You two rocked it.

 Steve & Jaclyn

So in love... so adorable.
If I were to describe her, I'd say she's Gwen Stefani's 
prettier sister with Jackie O.'s style.  We all just love her.

 Ken & Elise

They added a some "elderly touches" with Ken sporting a classic plaid shirt and Elise donning a vintage-length necklace.

 Mark & Kay

Mark rolled in wearing a classic Hawaiian print shirt while Kay's afgan & cane were the envy of the party.

 Alan & Julie

Alan played the part of a decrepit old man clutching his crutch and Julie looked fabulous in her gray scarf.

 Greg and Shavonne

 Terri made quite an entrance hobbling in on her cane! She is too cute.

 One word: awesome.

 It was our first time meeting Alan's wife, Julie, for most of us. She is darling.

 Dave & Terri

I love her nylons with open-toed sandals and cane. Seriously legit. :) To quote Dave, "I don't need a costume." These two are so much fun.

 I seriously think she was in shock... literal shock for the first 30 seconds.

 then she was flabbergasted...

 and finally elated to see her family and closest loved ones there.

 I didn't know that Valerie and Terri were roomates in college at BYU and Valerie played one very successful matchmaker for her nephew Dave. (Imagine having a nephew that's three years older than you, pretty crazy! :)

 Greg's Parents: Jim & Valerie

 So cute!

 Chocolate Is Good Medicine!

The Party Favors were weekly pill organizers filled with little pink & black chocolates.

 Our servers possessed some serious skills.

 Good Times!

 Birthday Girl

GREG'S GREGARIOUS SLIDESHOW

 Greg put together a slideshow that was the most random hilarious group of pictures I've ever seen.  I can't even begin to describe it.  Just know that it was funny, and that it was the hardest I've seen anyone there laugh.  Ever.  It was the highlight of my night actually. :)  Greg never ceases to make me laugh... even when I'd rather him not.   

 Mark & Kay

 "Ken"

We had a blast with ALL of you.  Thanks for making it such a special night for Valerie.  It was sure a memorable one for us.  Love you all.
