Happy birthday Juli!!!

On Sunday we had dinner at the Calls and then Randy took Juli for a Sunday drive while we decorated the house for a surprise party!

All the guests arrived and soon after Juli arrived (blurry pic-sorry!). She seemed surprised, but later she told us she knew something was up... Oh-well!

My mom visiting with Carrie Call

Betsie was sad she couldn't be there for the party, so Nick set up Skype on the computer so she could be there watching the party...see I think that's Betsie and Jadon in the computer that Nick's holding.
Randy lit the candles and then....

Juli blew them out!
We had a fun time visiting and eating the yummy desserts and then we went home...


The next day was Juli's real birthday and the immediate family went to the Olive Garden for dinner. Quinn on the phone...

Nick got Calamari and let Randy and Quinn try it. Randy was ok with it....
But Quinn didn't seem to sure about it.

When the meals arrived, Quinn's and mine were totally wrong so they were sent back to get fixed. The head chef came out and apologized and comped our bills 25% for the inconvenience. I am so glad for the mistake, cause when my food came out finally it was SO good....So so good!

Here's my table spot with out my food....lol.
After dinner we went back to the Calls for presents and birthday-ice cream cake. Nick got Betsie on the computer again...
And we gave Juli her birthay gift...
I think she was a little confused at first...
But then she opened it and figured it out. Nick, Betsie, and Quinn took the last couple months writing memories on a private blog and then Betsie went to Blurb and created a blog-book full of pictures, sweet notes, and all the memories the kids wrote out.

I think she liked it! ;-) (you can hear at the end of the video Betsie saying "She's crying" kind of quietly...it had been so quiet in there it was really funny to hear her say that!)



And then we had ice-cream cake... I have never like ice cream cake, but this one was SO good!!! mmmmm.......

Happy Birthday! We love you!
