The kids and I went to MI for the weekend to surprise Mom for her 60th birthday. Her birthday was on Thursday, but my Dad's cousin was getting married on Saturday so she would be in MI for the weekend. We decided that all of the kids would come to the wedding and surprise her. My aunt picked us up at the airport and then we surprised her when Mom got to the house. Laura's flight was later, so she joined us at the restaurant. Mom was very surprised and she did not think that either of us were coming. I sent her a Grandma sweatshirt in the mail as a little decoy to really make her think we were not coming. All the kids went together and we rented a house at Hilton Head in the summer for a family vacation. She loved it! My dad's family all met us for dinner and then we went back to my Aunt Judy's house for dessert. She makes the best desserts around! We were getting ready to pack the kids up and head to my Grandma's house for the night when Harold gave us a scare. He blacked out for a couple minutes and we thought he might be having a stroke. We called 911 and sent the kids down to the basement to play. Thankfully, Harold came out of it and seemed just fine. He thought he was taking a little snooze. The paramedics still wanted to check him out at the hospital, as he had had heart surgery this summer. The kids watched him ride on the stretcher and thought all the stuff was pretty neat. The firemen were really nice and gave the kids cute little teddy bears. Harold had to stay in the hospital for a few days to run tests, but seems to be doing well. We missed having him around though.
The kids got to play in lots of snow and had a great time. We went to Kathy's wedding on Saturday and again, had a nice time. Ethan loved dancing with "the boys." Ethan spent the night with them, again, he loved that, while Aubrey and I had a restfull night in the hotel.
There are lots of pictures, so enjoy!
