SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE

Finally, at long last, we were able to successfully surprise Gretchen with a visit from Bridgette, Emme, and Levi. We have been keeping it a secret for well over one month. Bernie did not think it possible that us girls could keep quiet. Natalie, Bridgette, and I would talk almost every day without letting on. That is no easy task if you know Gretchen. Mission accomplished.

Here are the photos of what transpired late Saturday night...hhhmmmm, I think it was 11:00 pm. We had gone out to dinner together earlier and then later told her we were going to the airport to pick up some guys who were coming home from being deployed. I even wore red, white, and blue. Our Gretchen was so surprised when Bernie asked her if Finn could come over to our house. She told us later that she thought someone had died and why didn't we call first. Bridgette popped out from around the corner and she yelled "What are you doing here?" Needless to say she was soooo happy to see her sister. Thank you to all those who kept a great secret!!
