Home to surprise Grandma Sheridan for her 60th Birthday!

Last weekend, Mike, Stella and I flew to SLC to surprise Sheridan for her 60th Birthday.  Mike's sister, Audrey also flew in from Minneapolis.  It was so great to see Audrey, she's pregnant with her first and we haven't seen her since the big news.  She looked great and we can't wait to see her continue along the incredible journey of having a baby. 

We all met up prior at the airport and drove to Sheridan's friends house where she was enjoying her dinner club for the evening.  We walked in and she had her back turned to us... all of her friends were coming up and saying hi and she hadn't even noticed we were there.  Finally, Mike decided to drop Stella in her lap to surprise her and wow, was she surprised.  She looked at Stella with a really confused face, a look of disbelief and then noticed Mike, then Audrey and then me.  She started screaming and tears immediately began pouring from her eyes.  And then of course, Audrey and I joined in the tears (we cry at everything together.)  It was so special and so fun to be able to truly surprise her.

We spent the weekend shopping doing whatever Sheridan wanted to do.  We shopped at consignment stores (she has some great spots!), we ate great food and for the bulk of the time, just hung out and talked.  It was so good to see you Sheridan, and we hope you had an amazing birthday!

Of course, while we were there we absolutely had to visit the rest of the families and were even lucky enough to have a few friends stop by Sheridan's house to say "Hi".
