Operation surprise

Surprise parties are the best in my opinion. An unsuspecting person being celebrated by their close friends and family. Such was yesterday's party for my little sister.
Her hubby contacted my dad and invited us down to surprise her...three hours away. 
Seeing that she will only turn 28 once, oops dani, we didn't pass it up. She had no idea, and her reaction was pretty great. instavideo? You betcha.

It was great celebrating with her and her family, and the fact that finally my niece was all smiles with her old aunt, (that'd be me), made the trip sweeter.
And now proof I was there and for your scrolling enjoyment, a photo dump. All from phone, so don't expect stellar quality, mkay?
yep, we ask them to take a small bite and then their face gets pushed in. just a tad, no worries. we're not barbarians.
 
**edited: we drove back this morning at 4:30 am. it's rough, i don't think my daily cup of coffee will do it. happy thoughts of energy appreciated!
