Surprise!!

We had the awesome opportunity to fly back home for Micah's mom's 50th Birthday. AJ, Micah's brother told us that he was planning a surprise party for Sandy's birthday, and wanted to fly us home to be apart of it. Lucky for us, we were able to make it work with our schedules! Let the scheming begin :) We wanted this to be a special surprise for everyone, and had the chance to surprise my Mom and sister first. I knew I needed some help pulling this off so that my sister Hilary and her husband Daryl would be in attendance, so I enlisted the help of my Dad. He told everyone that he had a "Big Announcement" to make and they were having a family dinner. (Everyone thought he was going to announce his retirement-wouldn't that have been great...) So this was going to ensure that Hilary and Daryl would be there when we arrived that evening. Dad had informed me that Hilary was planning on leaving to go out of state with Daryl's family for the rest of the weekend...so I called up Daryl to let him in on our surprise as well. Again, fate was on our side, and he was able to plan around us so they would stay for our visit, while keeping it a secret from Hilary. And as you will see on the video below...they had NO CLUE!! :) hehehe

Almost there! In the limo from the airport...

I loved seeing the looks on their faces when we just walked right on in!
Sorry it's a little shaky, I was laughing and crying and hugging-so it was hard to keep it steady...

Papa did a great job helping us pull this off :)

I think Grammy was in a slight state of shock for most of the evening.

Hilary went back home after dinner and grabbed an overnight bag and the dogs and came back to spend the night :) It was AWESOME! And Devin couldn't have been happier having the dogs to play with.

I think he looks like a teacher in front of a class in this picture.

Chase me! Chase me!!

MOM! He's trying to take it from me!

I love you Grammy!

I loved that Dad was able to have Gigi over for dinner too. She was so confused as to what all the commotion was about when we first arrived (she wasn't facing the door we came in). It was wonderful that we got to spend some time with her too!

So after Gigi went home, and the rest of us stayed up late talking, we got up and had a wonderful breakfast made lovingly by my family. We got things packed up and ready to go so we could head out and surprise Sandy next.

But first, what visit to Grammy's house would be complete without getting beautified?? And boy did we desperately need it!

That is just Devin's hair!

And yes....all of Aiden's.
Grammy, you need to come out every 4-6 weeks to keep us looking good!! :) Thank you for all you did for us in such a short period of time.

Stay tuned for the next round of surprises :)
