Valentine's Surprise

Bird's family and I have been plotting and scheming for a few weeks to surprise him for an early Valentine's Day gift. As I've said before, his family means the WORLD to him and to say he's been a little homesick would be a huge understatement. I hated hearing this and got straight to work figuring out how to get them here ASAP.

 

Yesterday, I picked his mom, Beverly AKA "BO" from the airport and headed to where Yaya and I were supposed to meet him for lunch. Yaya and I walked in first and gave him our HELLO DADDY Hugs. Bo wandered in a few minutes later. Can you tell he was a little shocked? He couldn't believe she was really there.

When they hugged reality set in.

Seeing these smiles is proof of how perfect this gift was.

Bo brought Yaya the Velveteen Rabbit.

Even our dog Ellie enjoyed listening to the story.

Playing dress-up together was a perfect way to end the night.
