"Surprise"

Recently, we decided to pull a little surprise on Brian. Brian turns 40 on April 13th. When Melinda turned 40, we all decided to surprise her and drove to AZ where her sister and brothers (in disguise) followed her in a store while acting strange. It was videotaped by Steve. It was obvious she noticed these strange people but didn't recognize them and in fact thought they were stalking her. Was she surprised to find out who they were! So . . . in turn . . . Melinda and Dave disguised themselves as senior citizens and were seated in the dining room of the retirement center where Mom and Dad are now living and Paul and Brian just "happened" to stop by with a plant for the folks when they were on their way to Mom and Dad's house to move some furniture. Ruth was also there and when all were in place, she moved to the piano and began playing "Happy Birthday", the entire dining room joined in and Brian was looking around to see whose Birthday it was. Imagine his surprise when these children came down the stairs with signs and balloons and then a "little old lady" came and kissed him on the cheek and put a cap on his head. We got him!! Happy Birthday Brian.
