Surprise!

Saturday was a big surprise. When we came home from the temple I looked around our house to see the cars that were there. Tyra's, Shari and David's, and Steven's car was there. So, I knew they were here visiting. There were more at my house then cars. They did a good job hiding the cars and dad did a good job not driving by Jared's house where all the cars were hiding. When I walked in, I soon found out there were many people in my house! Almost everyone was there! (We missed you Boyd and Emmy, and children, but we understand you weren't able to make it because of Emmy's brother's baby blessing.)

The house was decorated and everyone came out and said "surprise!" It was a great surprise! You made my special year great. (Born in 1955 and turning 55 this year!) And, you should have seen the cake Tabitha had made. It was a scrabble board!

There were things going on that day that I didn't ever pick up on. Like David stealing the scrabble game with it sitting right by me. I never saw him take it. And the night before, when I mentioned going to the temple with Shari and David early in the morning, I almost ruined their plans. Brent informed me right away that he had made arrangements for us to attend our ward session time, so I gave in and agreed to go in the middle of the day even though all our company would have to be on their own and we wouldn't be very good hosts by leaving.

In this picture, you can see one of my gifts! Do you think I will run out of 1 teaspoons again? Also, a bonus of 1/2 cup measuring cups that always seem to disappear too!

Fun! Thanks to all my children! It was a lot of fun and a great surprise!
