What an amazing day....we are extremely excited that this went off without a hitch! Beth, Shell and I had planned a surprise retirement party for Mom and Marc, and it went just as planned! We got up this morning and got ready at the house, and much to our surprise, Mom called to see what we had planned for the day. So, it was really difficult not to spill the beans, but she really had no clue what was going on. She simply mentioned that Beth was coming into town, so would probably want to meet Lucas. So, we planned to stop by there a little later in the day....knowing full well we would already be together for the party! So, the call went smoothly and I managed to keep everything in tact! So, later that morning we made it to the party to help Beth decorate and everyone was supposed to be there at noon, and then they would be arriving around 12:30. So, all of their family and friends were there, and Beth did a fantastic job of getting them there for their "lunch date." She did wonderful and boy were they surprised!

It was perfect! They walked in and the kids were about jumping out of their seats. We had told them that once they got here to yell surprise! So, without missing a beat, the second Kaleigh saw them...all the way across the room...she yelled surprise as loud as she could. And, she was the only one!! :-) It was the cutest thing, but as they continued to walk across the restuarant, everyone else stood up and yelled surprise too! So, it was perfect and the looks on their faces were great! They were excited to see everyone and you could tell that they honestly did not have a clue!!!

So, they made their way around the room to give hugs to everyone, and as they made it to the last group of friends, all of a sudden Scott had walked around the corner where he had been hiding and said, "So, what did I miss!?" The look on Mom's face was priceless!!!! The tears started flowing and it was a good thing Scott was so close and going in for a hug, cause she almost fell to the floor! She was soooo surprised and it was a perfect celebration! Marc got a little teary eyed as well, and it was definitely a great moment! It truly couldn't have been any better!!

Surprise party for Mom and Marc, with an even better suprise to have Scott home to help them celebrate! Although we were having a great time, we were still missing Adam and Sarah and wished they could have been there as well!!
