For at least a week I've thought that on Saturday Chris and I were going to a couple workshops.  Chris to one for dads and me to scrapbooking.  I had been calling Theresa and Mom all week trying to find out what I needed to bring and get more details about the day.  I made sure I had photos and embellishments and tools, exactly what I needed to spend the day doing my favourite hobby.  In fact, I even thought about going out to get more photos printed before we left in the morning!  We were planning to attend with my brother and sister-in-law (Tony and Theresa).  They even had childcare, so Arianna came, too.

We walked into my parents' church, where the workshops were being held, and I saw my mom.  Why is she here? I thought.  The room didn't look like it was set up for workshops.  I looked to my left and there was my sister, Selina, bringing in a chair.  I'm not surprised to see her,  was my thought.  She has also recently started to get into scrapbooking.  But then I saw my dad.  Okay, why is he here?  All this was going through my head as we walked into the room and then Theresa said, "Surprise!"  Apparently we were a little early, but I was still really surprised.  It was a birthday party for my brother and I!  Tony came later.  He didn't know it was a party for us either.  Theresa told him the same story.

We had a great day!  Soon after Tony got there, we all headed out for a car rally.  It was a video scavenger hunt.  We had to video team members doing different things or asking strangers different things.  One of the things was getting on the radio to wish Tony and I a Happy Birthday.  There were three teams and all of us got this one, so we received three radio birthday wishes.  I have to say that my team got a delayed wish, so we were all able to hear it back at the church.  After lunch and cake, we watched all the videos.  Who would've thought that a whole group of adults could have so much fun doing a scavenger hunt!

Later we went to my parents' house for dinner and to hang out.  It was very nice.  We didn't leave until about 9:00.  It was such a wonderful day.  I really do have a fabulous family.
