My parents were surprised. shocked. stunned.
I called my mom from the airport in Pittsburgh, as I was getting the rental car, and casually asked "so what are you and daddy doing?" She said they were going over to my sisters house, because both of her boys were home, and they wanted to say hello. I pretended to have an incoming call from one of my kids, and told her I would call her back later. We got the car, and drove to my sisters house, so excited that we would be able to surprise everyone at once. As we were walking up the front sidewalk, my dad looked out the front window and said " That boy sure does look like Christopher". Then one of my sister's friends said "There's your sister". By the time we got to my sister's front door, people were running outside...screaming, hugging, crying, laughing...
Everyone was surprised, and so happy to see us...made us all feel so good!
My dad and the grandsons...ages 18, 16, 14...
My parents told us a million times..."This is the best Christmas gift ever"...
The kids and I felt the same way...we feel like we have already had our Christmas, and not one package has been unwrapped!
