Surprise!




This past weekend the Strand trio drove down to Kansas to surprise my cousin Amy for her 30th birthday. Her husband Cory has been planning this for over 6 months. Two of her friends from elementary and middle school even flew out for the weekend. We had a blast! I didn't take too many photos, but there's a lot of pics on Facebooks of the full weekend including the surprise.Out on the town! (Julie--I got lots of compliments on my flower!)
Penelope, Charlotte and Julia (from oregon) Saturday night 11 of Amy's closest friends went out on to dinner and for drinks in KC. Chris and Cory were at home with 4 girls under 3! Talk about husband brownie points, huh?
Penelope was amazing the entire trip. We borrowed a DVD player from Jackie Lee so she got to watch all 3 of her favorite Elmo videos during the drive. She loved staying at Aunt Jo's house...pancakes for breakfasts, cabbage patch kids to rock, playing outside with dogs...what's not to love?
Molly and Penny are BSCF (Best Second Cousins Forever!) They played so well. No "Mine", no whining or squabbling. It was wonderful!
The two girls having their first sleepover. Only 27 years until Penelope surprises Molly for her 30th birthday!

Did Penny tell Molly she has to run a marathon to get a 30th birthday like this?

Chris and Cory - you're making the rest of us look bad!
