A Gathering of Loved Ones

We were blindfolded and told that the grands wanted to show us their surprise, the one they had been working on. What could it be? We wondered if it were a woodworking project, maybe some chairs for outside, but truly had no idea.

I was in total shock, it took a few minutes to register that all of our dearest friends were honoring us;  many had flown out and we were totally & completely surprised.

The family gathered around us and showed us the invitation that went out.  They left nothing out of their plans.

Our beloved girls, Kim & wee one in the green top and Carrie in the white.

Sister of my heart Sue and best friend from California, Barb.

Papa telling Miss S that she did a great job keeping the secret.

Another dear, dear friend from way back when our girls were toddlers; unfortunately Shelley had her back to the camera.

Our oldest grandson, proud as punch to be a part of this.

Grands coloring; our girls thought of everything.

The two oldest granddaughters-best friends and cousins.

Isn't she just a doll! This is Shelley & Steve's first grandchild; you can tell she is loved on a lot.

My Peanut-how she makes my heart sing; but then all the grands do!!!!

The kids even had music on their IPod that was from our wedding and our favorite songs that we listened to, way back when.

My brother and sister of my heart, made up a poster with lots of different candies and sayings.  It was so creative and funny.

Steve and his precious little granddaughter Tori.

We didn't get a picture with all that we wanted, so I threw this is just because; Barb and I the next day. We had such a blast together, I miss her like crazy(especially when I'm designing a quilt ) and am so thankful that they came out to share our day.

The girls, hubby and I; what an incredible blessing the entire weekend was. 
May your weekend be filled with joy as well my friends.
