Surprising the Grans

.

AKA: The Third Stop on the Great 2012 Married Kids Tour

Warning:  This stop is all about the grans.  When the kids start having kids, they give away their right to be the center of attention.

That's just how it is.

That's just how it's always been.

Get over it.

;-)

 

When we arrived at our oldest daughter, Keri's, house there was no one home to greet us except the stack-o-jack-o-lanterns.

That's 'cause Keri was off picking the grans up from school.

The grans didn't know we were coming.
 

We broke in, we believe in breaking and entering.  It isn't hard when they leave the front door unlocked for you.

I got the little treats for the grans all set up where they would find them upon entry.

Papoo went into the kitchen and did what Papoos do - - - searched the cupboards for snacks and chocolate.

Kama went outside with her camera to capture the gran surprise.

She didn't have long to wait.

The family van pulled in the driveway - -

And the kids jumped out on the run.

There was glee.

There was joy.

There were hugs and kisses.

And there was cheering.

Lots of cheering.

Then the grans lit into their surprises.

This was followed by more celebrating.

Mack said I could see his heart 'cause it was shining through.

Smart boy, he.

More celebrating over a perfect spelling test.

Little Sister Piper celebrated big brother's spelling success too.

A little later it was off to that very fine dining establishment, called DQ, which can be found in most local neighborhoods.

There we all filled our little tummies and indulged in joy and laughter.

This included making silly faces.

Lots of silly faces.

And there's more to come - - -
