My sister arranged a little surprise get-together for my birthday last week. It was very sweet. Scott and I had plans for the day including Disney on Ice (I know...exciting) then he wanted to take me shopping for my birthday. Well, he made the suggestion of taking T to Grandma's so we could shop without her. I thought it was a great idea, but as we got closer he was trying to distract me as we pulled into the neighborhood. I fell for it...that was the funny part!
He gave me a story that made me look the other way so I couldn't see cars in the driveway at Grandma's house.
The family was there in big numbers. My sister, oldest brother and their kids and the whole Matias clan made it! 3 of my Aunts even showed up! It was great to see everyone, and to think it was all for me.
I had a great cake and they actually put the right number of candles on the cake. That's the way to make a person feel old!!
My sister and brother-in-law were the head of the festivities!
The big hit of the party was the puzzles that Keith found for Mom. They are puzzles with only 9 pieces but Scottie and Andy decided there was NO solution, but they refused to give up. We had to eventually take the puzzles away so they could walk away!
I got some great gifts, but the best gift was just being with my family! It's always nice to spend time with your family. Things have been rough for everyone so it's nice to set all that aside and just enjoy laughing together. Thanks for the day, Sis!
