This was to be our first Christmas in Texas alone, instead
we decided to drive to Texas. We jokingly talked about it all
week, then on Thrusday we heard a storm was coming through,
so we made the decision to go and beat the storm. I packed in
4 hours, dirty/clean clothes and gathered all the presents from
under the tree.
Friday night 24 hours later we drove up to Scott’s mom’s
home. We pulled out on of our blankets and rand the doorbell
as we hid the entire family under the blanket. All she could
see were feet. We let her look at us for a few seconds before
throwing off the blanket and yelling surprise!! She was speechless
and shocked not to mention a little teary. She had left our
house a few weeks ago, not knowing when she would see us again
and we surprised her but coming to visit for Christmas.
Next we had to find a way to surprise my family. But the question
was how to get everyone to the door for the surprise. Scott’s
mom called and said she wanted to drop off a gift to the family.
Then at the door she refused to come in saying she wanted to
sing them a Christmas carol once they were all present. In addition
as a surprise to my mom, we wrote return to sender on the package
she had sent the day before. Scott’s mom never even had
to sing to buy us time, my mom was too shocked over the package
that everyone came to the door to see what the problem was.
That was when we came out from behind the bushes and yelled
surprise. It was a fun night surprising everyone. The next day
it just continued. Scott showed up unannounced at the door of
Mike and Julie’s house and later that day we made our
appearance on his Grandma’s 90th birthday party where
we surprised the rest of his siblings. |
