The best gifts don't come in boxes.

This is my dad.

He gave me the greatest birthday gift I could ever hope for by showing up at my front door unannounced on Friday.  He and hubby were in on it together...I had absolutely no idea.  In fact when the doorbell rang I looked out of the peephole and thought "That looks kind of like my dad" but it still didn't register until I opened the door!

 We went out to dinner in Washington, NC and just drank in the beauty.  Look at those chubs!  I love her.

             

As we walked by the water we heard a band playing at a nearby restaurant and the girls just had to dance.

                

This moment in time, captured forever, is probably the best birthday gift I'll ever get.

 Gramps with his four grand babies.

We even got a decent family pic, which is hard to do with this crew!  

I had the best birthday ever, thanks Daddy and hubby for surprising me!  I love you!
