My Birthday Surprise

Well - yesterday, (Friday), ended with a bang!!!
While at work, Jeff went to LAX to go pick up my Mom and Elena. On their way back home, they picked me up for lunch. It was so nice to see everyone!

After work, I went home; got ready - and Elena and I went to Orange County airport to go pick up my dad. We were gone for about an hour, and met him no problem!

Once we got home, I walked into the house, and much to my surprise - HUGE SURPRISE - my brother Troy, sister-in-law Moira, and kids Hunter & Brooklyn were waiting in my living room!!! I was so shocked that I cried and didn't know what to do!!! They got video and stills, so they will be posted once I get everyone's pictures!

Apparently, they booked in a few weeks ago - once they got the Evite; and they didn't tell ANYONE except my Dad & Kathy. They made arrangements to stay in a hotel across the street from Disneyland and are staying for a week!!! Wow - sneaky!!! The kids are so excited to be here, and we're so excited to see them!!!

We went for Pizza lastnight, and had a great time. Today; they're driving out and we're all going to go shopping for some clothes...then we are going to go to the barn and visit Justin...I made Jim some magnets as a gift.

I'd love to take them to Laguna and see the beach and maybe some dolphins - if we can swing it; then we will.

I am so happy and excited - this is the BEST birthday surprise EVER!!! Thank you all so much!!!

Looking forward to tonight - dinner and celebration with friends and family, here and at Riptide!!!
