SURPRISE!

Thanksgiving day was my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Milton's birthdays. We typically celebrate their birthdays on Thanksgiving when we are all together, even on years it doesn't fall on Thanksgiving day. This year we all "forgot" or down played their birthdays. No cake, no gifts really, just a hug and a casual "happy birthday". Well, What they didn't know is that Milton's daughters, Keri and Shanna, had it all planned.

Milton and Kathy thought they were going to dinner with some friends, but first those friends needed to drop off some food and drinks at the "Senior Citizens Party". What they didn't know is that they were walking into their own surprise party. A room full of their friends and family welcomed them with "SURPRISE". After jaws were picked up off the floor and tears of shock were swatted away we all ate some YUMMY fajitas with all the trimmings and some OH SO GOOD margaritas (Thanks Keri and Shanna!).

It truly was a fun evening and I am so glad that Rich and I were in Texas for Thanksgiving this year and could be there to see this once in a lifetime, literally, surprise pulled off!

David and Blythe took turns riding in Grandma's car with Aunt Chelle, Uncle Rich and Grandma (although, I believe it was the GPS and getting to hold that and navigate the "purple road" that held the greater appeal!). On the way down to Lake Jackson David rode with us. He "called" everyone he could think of, including China, and asked what their weather was like. He was so busy doing that he forgot to tell me that we had passed the "checkered flag" and thus missed our hotel. :) Blythe rode home with us the next day and navigated the whole way home. They are so fun and I really enjoyed them getting to have that special time with us!
