Surprise!!!!!!

This weekend was all about Nana's Surprise 60th birthday party! The festivities began on Friday when Aunt Trisha (mom's little sister) arrived from California - unfortunately Uncle Eric and our cousins Erin and Emily couldn't make it, but they were here in spirit! I met my sister and brother-in-law at the airport for the big arrival. Here we are back at mom's house waiting for mom to arrive home. Aunt Trisha scooped Abby up and barely put her down this weekend; matter of fact, between playing, reading and laughing with Thomas and then rocking Abby - she had her hands full with her great-nephew and great-niece!

Jen casually looking out the front door window to see when Nana's car will pull up; she is looking relaxed but she is EXTREMELY nervous (hence the wine glass) because she wanted the surprise to go as planned!

Still waiting... this time Thomas and Uncle Ash are the watchdogs.

Abby just couldn't hang and missed the excitement when Nana arrived home and we surprised her with Aunt Trisha.

On Saturday afternoon, the surprises continued with a party at my house for mom. We invited all of her good friends that she teaches with and she was blown away by another surprise in the same weekend. Happy 60th Birthday MJ!

Sunday we had lunch out at the Boathouse Restaurant - one last day with Aunt Trisha in town. Once again, she was busy running up and down the boat docks with Thomas and also snuggling with Abbigail... I'm pretty sure she enjoyed every minute of it - I know we did!
