In the fall my brother Chris asked if he could come and visit for Christmas. He said he had some holiday time he had to use and would love to come but didnt want it to be too crowded since he knew my parents were coming for the holidays.
I told him sure but we decided that we should keep it a surprise from my parents and our kiddos. I had to tell Jase's mom since she was hosting dinner but other than that the surprise went well.
After we hit Sonic, we told my parents that Jason had forgotten something at the office and had to run to get it. My parents assuming that it was a present thought nothing of it!!
Jason went to the airport to pick up Chris, whose plane was a little late but still...it was awesome!
Chris texted me that they were on their way and then half an hour later i was making my Christmas morning wifesaver and i heard a noise at the back slider door.
When i peeked out i saw my brother outside...i pulled back the blinds and then opened the slider door and at the same time said out loud..."Man its amazing what you find in your backyard!!" My parents looked up and saw that it was Chris and were in shock!
The kids were excited as well the next morning.
My parents were beside themselves with how well we kept the secret.
Best present ever...all the family together for the holidays :)
We even made him and my parents a stocking for Christmas this year that they could leave at our house for future visits!!
