Surprise

We had a great Thanksgiving last week! We started out the week with a little surprise. We decided to fly to Michigan and spend the holiday with Stephen's family. They had no idea we were coming for the big feast. We let his brother and sister know we were making to trip... just to make sure they would be around when we got there. We took a red eye flight out Tuesday night and got into Detroit early Wednesday morning. We made the drive up to Midland and first stopped at Stephen's brother's house. (They live just a few minutes away and didn't want to miss the look on everyone's faces.) We walked right in the front door and said hello. They were busy in the kitchen with all the holiday preparations! I wish I had a pictures of the look on their faces. It was great! Jaws dropped and a few 'what are you doing here's' were said! I loved it! It was so much fun and well worth it all, in those first few minutes. We had a wonderful trip out there that went by way too fast. Here are some of the highlights! We loved eating lots of yummy turkey and mashed potatoes. We were able to see Grandma and Grandpa Wilke. Played a competitive game of dominoes. Went out to lunch and shopping with all the girls and stayed up to the wee hours in the morning playing x-box! We sure do miss them all and cherish the time we're able to spend with them. I really realized how fun it is to be spontaneous and surprise others! It's great!
