SURPRISE!!!
I didn't think Tim and Darlene could pull off another surprise, and they totally did...First, the ballet lesson, then this! I was so blessed!
Darlene and I had gone on our usual grocery shopping run on Saturday...
We brought in the groceries...walked in the kitchen...I heard, "Surprise!"
I only saw Abby and Emma, but then I peeked around to find almost the whole church stuffed in the corner!
SO FUN!!!!
I feel so loved - thank you everyone!
Me and the girls.
My cake!
Ollie, Emma, and Abby were stoked to have potato chips (or crisps, as they are called by the British).
The GALZ.
It was so much fun to have everyone there!
Sue and Elina enjoy their tea and coke.
Emma, Ollie, and Abby brought me three cakes to blow out the candles.
Presents! WooHoo!
From the Hutchinson's.
What do you think I'm saying? Probably..."Oooooo!"
Thanks Emma for my big, glittery card!
Tim photoshopped one of my ballet photos with the Bible verse from Psalm 149:3, "Let them praise His name with dancing."
The gang.
It's all on video, too. Thanks Tim.
Emma gave me a pair of earrings, and she loves to put them in for me. Also, I put on a sweater that Abby gave me. Thanks girls!
Ping Pong dual...Elina vs. Lindsey.
Great shot Darlene...action...watch out!
Table football, aka fooseball.
I look like I'm flashing the "I love you" sign!
Paddle head.
My friend Elina - she's so much fun!
Rothko and Emma take a break.
Tocando la guitarra.
Ollie is so much fun - always excited about something.
We used my birthday as an opportunity to practice for Sunday morning. I just love playing with Ollie. (Brad, he talks about you all the time!!! I think you are his hero.)
God has truly gifted this young man in percussion.
Thanks for coming to my party!!! I was so surprised!!! Love Linz
