We made a trip to Creston/Diagonal to celebrate (and more importantly SURPRISE) Grandma Janis on her 75th birthday! JeanAnn, Mike and the other brothers families planned a great surprise for Grandma.
Saturday morning we headed down to Creston... Blair's were already there, so we figured they needed to play all day! The kids played... we hung out... did a few errands... and then before we knew it, it was time for the party! We headed to Diagonal to meet up with the immediate family for supper. Grandma thought NONE of us would be there (as we had all called her and said we were just making a 'day trip' on Sunday). So when she walked in to the restaurant and saw all of us, she was thrilled and surprised! It was so great! We enjoyed a very nice supper... kids were crazy, good talks and good food.
Following eating, the restaurant has a really cool basement area (where we had the Taylor family reunion)... so there's tons of space. We told Grandma we were going to do a mock Easter egg hunt for the kids, just for fun (since some of the families wouldn't be around today). We all headed downstairs and there was more surprises - many of Grandma's friends, neighbors and more extended family were there!! And again - another surprise. She was amazed, and very thankful. It was a great time. The kids, little and big, played for hours... ran and ran... ate and ate...
It was a great evening - very special for our family!
