“Todd … knew that this was the first birthday (his mom would) be celebrating without her husband since he passed away this last year. Well, Todd didn't have any plans this weekend and decided to surprise his mom in New York City.
“So he flew out from Layton and went to her apartment building and went out on the street and gave his mom a call telling her that he had sent flowers and the flower guy didn't know which apartment was hers and to meet him down on the street. Little did she know, Todd would be waiting for her and he surprised her. They went out to dinner and celebrated that evening in New York fashion. It's her 66th birthday.”
