Surprise Surprise

While at my parents, we celebrated my dad's 30th (65th) birthday. CC and my mom made the easiest cake that was delicious- ice cream sandwich cake. you put a layer of ice cream sandwich. then a layer of cool whip, another layer of ice cream sandwich, another layer of cool whip- and your finished! SO easy for kiddos to make.
CC has been making books for each grandparent. They tell about things they do together. This is Papaw's book! She wrote about how they eat oreos together, they went to Disney World, they swim in the pool together, Papaw has white hair, and they toss the ball back and forth. She comes up with them all on her own....it's really cute to see what she says about each grandparent!

Every year we go to Destin outlet mall, my dad goes into the Bose outlet and talks about getting surround sound. I mean - EVERY YEAR for as long as I can remember. So my mom surprised him surround sound FINALLY! And Bryan gave him a 'certificate of service' to install it while we were there.

We also REALLY surprised my mom......

with a trip to ITALY!!!!!! Her dream trip is to Italy, since she is turning 25 (60) in January, my dad decided to surprise her early with a trip. She loves to plan trips, so we went ahead and told her early so that she can begin planning since we are going in June.

We completely caught her off guard! She had NO idea that she was getting anything and was shocked! Way to go Dad! We pulled it off!

Cheers to fun birthdays!

Since it was a big birthday for my dad, the people at his work decorated his office! Some pics of him were left over, so he made 'party favors' for his party at home! The girls love their 'Papaw fans"! Emory walks around with it constantly saying Papaw, papaw, papaw!




HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAN AND PAPAW! We love you to death!
