Happy 30th Birthday to Mike!

Surprise! Mike's Mom and Dad and his brother Marc and wife Megan all flew in to surprise Mike on his birthday! We were able to keep it all a secret for just over 2 months...and all the way until their arrival. It was great! After Mike's birthday dinner (with just me and Jillian) I told him that I had to run out to the store to get his present--and that it was just too big for me to get it any earlier so I had to go that night (around 8pm.) So, I drove to the airport, picked up the 4 "big presents," and came home. I dropped everyone off up the block and went inside. Mike had just poured us some wine and we were getting ready to have some birthday cake. DING DONG...the doorbell rang. I pretended that I had no idea who would be ringing our doorbell at 9:30pm...but we should definitely go check it out. SURPRISE! Mike almost slammed the door in their face when they forced their way in...it was pretty funny! Then, after a minute of trying to piece it all together Mike said "How'd you guys get here?" He hadn't realized that I was at the airport picking them up instead of out to "buy" his present. Anyway, we all had a great long weekend--we went to the air park and had a BBQ on Saturday with Rusty, and the Syberts. We also were able to sneak out with Marc and Megan for a night of bar hopping in DC while Jillian stayed home with Grammy and Grampa. It was such a great weekend!

Happy 30th birthday Daddy!
