Surprise Birthday!

Eric dad, Julio, turns 50 this year! For his big birthday we wanted to make sure to do something special for him and throw him a surprise party!  nothing better then a surprise party to celebrate....oh wait that's not it! Eric's mom had Julio's mom, brother, and sister (and her husband and son) all fly in from New Jersey (that's where he is from) to surprise him! (I must mention he hasn't seen his mom for 3 years and its been longer then that for the other 2). Eric's dad's birthday isn't until September but with everyone's schedules it worked out best for us to do it in July! So with months of planning and having to keep all of our mouths shut (which sometimes hard to do but luckily eric's dad can be kinda oblivious) it finally came. Needless to say he was surprised!  It was perfect and the excitement in the room couldn't even begin to be explained! (They got video but unfortunately I didn't). We were lucky to have them be able to stay a couple of days but it wasn't long enough.  During those days with them we made sure to pack in lots of things to do so we could spend every moment with them. Our family was so glad they came for our own selfish reasons considering me nor Kj had met any of them but now we have we can't wait for the next time we see them! We were having so much fun that I didn't remember to pull our the camera but we did get some group photos the night before they left!

My daughter never has a problem not hiding her feelings. She would rather in the pool with her uncles!
