Surprise!

SURPRISE!

While we were out in Alamogordo, Granny set up a early surprise birthday party for me and Emma, just like when we were kids.  She decorated the living room, got us a cake, and birthday crowns.  It was fun having an early birthday celebration with my sister...you only turn 30 once right :)

Me and Emma with our birthday crowns, and the birthday banner Granny made.

Make a wish!

 Isn't she the sweetest and best Granny ever...I am so lucky.

Clark, Gramps and Reese

Gramps entertained the kids while we got our 4th of July BBQ ready. 

 I made potato salad for the first time!

Clark showing Gramps how to play Mario on DS.

I sure do love my Gramps.

Reese playing with sparklers.

My kids hate fireworks, all kinds (I don't get it), so as soon as it was firework time they went into the house and hid until it was over.  Reese had a fun time though :)

It was such a fun 4th of July!!
