SURPRISE!!!!

For the last few weeks I've been conspiring with Ryan's Sister and Brother for a surprise party for their parents! We sneaked their wedding album to make copies for decorations, as well as to create a replica of their wedding cake. I called them Friday night (from my parents house a few blocks away) to let them know I'd made it home all right.

Then Saturday afternoon, Kevin and Jacob took Grandma and Grandpa Mini-Golfing, while Skyler and I met Melissa and her family at the house to decorate and set up!

 Finally, it was time! All the boys hid behind the counter (Skyler and Dianna were held, so they'd stay happy and quiet for the big surprise!) 

As they walked in, we all jumped out!!

But there was one thing we hadn't planned for...

Grandma had gone to check the mail! We'd only got Grandpa... So quickly, the boys scurried back to hide again!

3... 2... 1...

SURPRISE!!!!!

After the initial shock? Everyone was thrilled and it was a great time! We had dinner, and then the kids ran around in the backyard having a ton of fun! We even managed a family picture, with ALL the grandkids!!

To see all the photos from this adventure - HERE is the album!  (Be warned, lots of giggles and cake are involved. But no animals were hurt in the capturing of these photos... No little boys either. I promise. )
