Details: Chris' Birthday Open house will be at the Daybreak Community Center. Address: 4544 Harvest Sun Lane South Jordan, 84095. Come in and listen for all the noise:) It will be from 2-4pm. I decided to not make it to long because I don't want him totally worn out. We will still have some partying to do afterwards as a family. Also Chris doesn't know I'm doing this. If he did he wouldn't show up:) You know him he doesn't like to be the center of attention. Hey, he gave me a surprise birthday party on my 30th so now it's his turn. Can't wait to see ya.
Love, Ricki
