As you turn 51 today...

Don't think of all the fun times you've spent in the past...

But rather, the fun times that we will have in the future.

In just over a month, we'll all be home for Christmas...MY HOW THE TIME FLIES!

And then we'll all hop on one of these...

And you're gonna see this:

And eat these:

And drink this:

And we'll show you some of our favorite spots.

...and even though Paris will be wonderful...

We both thought it would be better...

That, if, for your birthday, 

Me and Lauren...and..Me and Amy, 

Take you somewhere particularly special to the youngest daughter of yours.

So we've booked an excursion--just for the day--in honor of the 51 years 

you've blessed this woman's life:

and these little ladies' lives, as well:

We're going to Dijon, home of the mustard.

: )

So you'll see Lauren's Paris.

And Amy's Dijon.

Oh, and Carol's coming, too. (Of course!)

how it's gonna work:

we'll board one of these:

with some of these: 

and we'll enjoy some of this:

and at the end of the day, when we're all tired and cold,

we'll hop back on this:

and go back to our little parisian flat :D 

Happy Birthday Mom :D 

Fifty-one years has never looked better. 

We love you.
