Surprise!
Visitors still aren’t announced ahead of time here. I think it works best to just tell/show the girls something instead of giving them notice. Because, well, I’m not good at dealing with “when?” questions!
So, we didn’t tell them that grandma and grandpa were visiting last weekend for their birthday. And, we certainly didn’t tell them that we would be surprising them at school for their birthday celebrations.
First, I went into the room (she knew I was coming) and took a sweet picture of her (so loving that I was actually there for her birthday celebration. I always missed them before!)
Then, grandma and grandpa walked into her classroom. She wasn’t surprised or excited at all!
Nope, not thrilled one bit at seeing grandma…
or grandpa. That isn’t the picture of joy. Not one bit.
We then helped celebrate by sharing ice cream cups with all of her friends and signing happy birthday.
Then, we went to little sister’s classroom to do a little surprising there as well.
I went in first, and then grandma and grandpa came in.
She was a little more hesitant, but then ran over and gave grandma a big hug!
Grandpa got some loving, too.
Then, she sat down for her ice cream and happy birthday singing, too.
And, wanted one more picture.
It was a very busy and exciting weekend here, and I know the girls greatly enjoyed their visit. They are already asking when grandma and grandpa will visit again.
Oh so precious and fun! I love that you surprised them like that! Grandparent love is so wonderful
Oh, it totally is. And, the girls are very lucky with their grandparents!
oh my gosh!! i love love love this!! they are so sweet!! and soooo excited! i bet that totally melted your mom’s heart!!
This is awesome!
Aw, so sweet. I’m glad they got a great surprise for their birthdays.
Oh, it’s so much better when it’s a surprise, too! no answering a million questions!
that is so very sweet – and cool your kid’s school allows that!
For special occasions (birthdays) they do! And, I asked if it was okay, too:)
During snack time!
So sweet! What a great surprise for your girls!
They were sooo happy!
How sweet! The girls are adorable. What a nice surprise!
Thank you! We think they are pretty cute, too!
It was very fun surprising the girls and we had a great visit. I am also asking when we are going again.
Yay for surprise visits!!
It’s the only way to do it so I don’t get asked a million times when they will be here!
Awww. How sweet is that? I bet grandma and grandpa felt super special. 🙂
Oh, of course, they did!
What an a amazing surprise!! Those are some really happy smiles. 🙂
I love it when it’s such a good surprise they almost have no idea how to react.
Oh my gosh, just loving the look of delight on their faces! What an awesome birthday surprise!
Way better than any present, I think!
That FACE! Pure. joy.
Yeah, I don’t see that face very often when I walk in to pick them up!
So adorable!! They sure love their grandparents. =)
Yes they do…they are very lucky!
