Surprise!!!

So Friday after Parker's birthday we had planned to go to Mr. Gatti's. Parker had planned this months in advance. We thought it would be a fun family outing. What Parker didn't know was that he had a big surprise coming for his birthday and it came that day.

The night before after the kids went to bed I went to the airport and picked up Grandma....they had no idea she was coming to visit. Parker had asked several times when she was going to come and visit. So that night she came in quietly and then the next morning stayed hidden until we explained to Parker that his birthday present from Grandma had arrived. I then went to the other room and got Grandma. He was so surprised. He was also very excited. He was full of smiles for quite a while.



So that night we went over to Mr. Gatti's. We had never been before and were surprised with how much there was to do. Addison's favorite part was the carousel. Parker loved getting tickets. They both got some great prizes and enjoyed spending time with Grandma. Parker also loved the bumper cars. It was a fun time!! Parker got two birthday parties and he loved that.



This was the game of choice, we got so many tickets on this one, but we never got the jackpot, we came so close so many times.



While Grandma was here we had a great time. We had a girls afternoon out and went shopping. Addison loved this and was spoiled rotten. She enjoyed Grandma so much!!!It was nice spending time with my mom and catching up. We had not seen each other for 18 months. Way too long!! We went to lunch, the park, hung out at home, and watched movies. Her visit was short but she got to see the kids and meet the new addition.



Thanks mom for visiting and making it a fun surprise for the kids. They enjoyed every minute of it.
