It was Brad's birthday, but he was a conference in Florida. We have known about this one for a long time, and we knew he was going to be gone Friday until Wednesday. But...last Thursday he found out he was going to be able to come home on his birthday instead. We decided not to tell the kids.
On their own, the kids decided we should decorate the house. Just because Daddy wasn't here didn't mean we shouldn't celebrate. So...we decorated:

Evan was very proud of this idea:
Then the magic happened. About seven o'clock, look who walked through the door unannounced: 
We had some super happy kids! Evan declared Daddy, "neaky."
They had also picked out their own gift:
Yep...that's beef jerky.
And I had one more surprise; I had tucked away a pumpkin pie I made earlier in the day:
To end the evening, Issa read us a story:
She read the whole story. I'd say that was a very happy day all around.
