Uncle Miller's surprise party

We totally surprised Uncle Miller at the "horsewarming" party that Sarah was throwing as a cover for his 40th birthday party. Dave had been working in Memphis all week and pretended to leave on Friday. I drove up the boys and Gigi and Dada after school on Friday and we stayed at Jerry & Christy's house (who were not even in town! They are too good for words. Christy even lined up a babysitter for us on Saturday night so we could enjoy the party kid-free for a bit).

I managed to capture Miller's surprised reaction and loved playing "party pics" that day. Theo was in heaven because unsuspecting people were giving him cider all day long. I had to kindly explain to them that he's like a Betsy Wetsey doll right now and what goes in comes out....... he did great though and that was a relief.

Dave's cousins, Liz and Paul, stopped by the party on their cross-country drive to North Carolina from Texas. It was absolutely great to see them (pretty sure I had never met Liz before, if I did it was years ago) and that gave the party and mock-family reunion feel :) We all met up early Sunday morning for breakfast together before going our separate ways (though we joke that cousin Paul should move here and become our nanny). Ha ha.
