Surprise!

 

About a month ago I received a card in the mail inviting me to my oldest sister, Christy, baby shower. I saw it was March 1st, realized I couldn't go, and placed the invite on the fridge. I want to go back when Baby Birt is born, so I knew it was pretty close and couldn't fly back twice. I went to work the next day and kept telling myself to just look at flights and maybe see how much they were, just in case there was a deal. Well, I was in luck. 

For some reason I am all about surprises. I thought it would be fun if no one knew I was coming. I continued on with this, telling Jana, because I needed someone to pick me up at the airport. With all sorts of situations going on, I didn't know if I could keep it a surprise. Somehow though, we got thru it all keeping it from Christy and Mitch and Erin and Cindy. 

Friday my parents and I were watching all the little ones. Matt called Christy and asked her to go to lunch. We went out and met her and I surprised as I was walking down the road! She had no idea and I was so excited to be there.

The baby shower on Saturday was great. Christy's friends did a great job of putting on a great event, and has Baby Birt all ready to go. Christy got some great things and we all enjoyed hearing stories of how Christy is preparing to become a new mom. You can come out whenever!!

We had a great time the rest of the weekend, hanging out, celebrating Baby Birt, preparing for her arrival, and just getting to have some family time. With a snow day in place, it gave us an extra hang out day to continue to lounge around. I truly am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. Thank you to all that helped make the weekend so much fun!
