HaPpY Birthday Gran!

 Gran celebrated a big birthday this past weekend!  She turned 75.  Gracie and I decided to surprise her to celebrate.  

We booked a flight and headed south with only my aunt and cousin knowing that we were coming. 

We flew into Pensacola and drove the 2 hours to Dothan, but not before making an extra surprise stop.  Grandma lives only about 3o min outside of Pensacola and we would pass right by her exit on our way, so we decided to make a quick stop to say hello.  

Lily and I decided that surprising people was pretty fun.  Grandma was completely taken aback when she opened the door and found Lily and I standing there.  She nearly tackled us once she opened the door and let us in.  After a short visit we were back in the car and on our way to Alabama.  

Funny thing, right as we entered town, Gran text to ask us a random question.  We ignored the text, went and got our things settled and then face timed Matt as we drove over to surprise Gran and surprise we did.  She couldn't believe we had flown there for her birthday.  

Even though it was a quick visit, we had a wonderful time and tons of fun.  

Happy Birthday Gran! We love you!

Notice grandma's "who is it" smile as she is opening the door? 

Now look at the shock when she realizes who it is.  Too funny!
Celebration dinner with all the family for Gran's 75th!


After dinner it was off to Adventure Land for some go carts, putt putt and games.  Just a little competitive family fun and tons of laughs!

Aunt Pam used this opportunity to show us her skill on the putt putt course, pulling off the win.

Coming off the plane, Lily and I found these two cuties at the airport to pick us up.  Murphy was loving life as everyone wanted to bet him at baggage claim.
