Happy early birthday to my sister! What a fun weekend of surprises. Tessa's 30th birthday is coming up on April 9th, but we had planned a motel swimming weekend with her family and my parents already, so Chad decided to plan some surprises for Tessa and make it an early birthday celebration. He arranged for our good family friend and Ben's godmother, Jenna, to fly in Saturday afternoon. I managed to blindfold Tessa on the way to the airport and Jenna and I revealed the surprise when Jenna got into the backseat of my car. We spent some time at the spa in the afternoon and joined the rest of the family and more of Tessa's friends for dinner. The kids had fun swimming at the motel and hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma. They all even had a sleepover in Grandma and Grandpa's motel room...but not sure how much you can really call it a 'sleep'over, as I don't think Brynn slept much, nor did she let Grandma sleep much either. Probably the reason why I had to wake Brynn from a three-hour nap this afternoon. That's okay; we just learned they cancelled school for tomorrow in anticipation of the predicted storm, so maybe she can sleep in.
