January 7th was my Grandpa's birthday! A few days before, his children decided to plan a surprise birthday party for him! After church a day or two prior to his birthday, we sang him happy birthday as we usually do for anyone going into their next year..so he thought he would probably just spend the day alone.
Little did he know that at 11 a.m. we were all gathering in the wal mart parking lot before heading over to see him. :)
The lil' surprise caravan (another family behind us).
Everyone shut the car doors as quietly as possible, keeping their voices hushed...
as they gathered onto the front porch.
It was literally a jaw-dropping surprise. ;)
He was so happy to see everyone!
After everyone had eaten pizza, we sang him that awkwardly lengthy song called happy birthday
BUT there is a reward after it!
Blue Bell ice cream....
And..marbled cake.
The weather has been going between warm and cold lately, but mostly colder so we've being keeping our woodburning stove stocked!
And have enjoyed a few yummy pumpkin pies!
Punch that crust, girl! Jk, she's making the edges wavy. ;)
Gabriel's really being enjoying his DSi! See how happy he looks?
And Dad bought Mom a beautiful bouquet of flowers because...well...just because.Who needs a reason to show someone you love them other than that anyway? ;)
That looks like such a wonderful surprise for Grandpa! I so wish I could have been there! So happy y'all were able to surprise him. :)
