the surprise

So Staci has been studying music in Austria for the past year. She did come home for a few weeks at christmas, but that has been it. Carol was told that she'd be coming home this week and had planned on picking her up on tuesday. Little did she know that we had a little plan of surprise. Curt and I picked Staci up from the airport saturday night. We had invited everyone over on sunday for a BBQ, despite Carol's best efforts to convince us to "do it after Staci gets home". So we anxiously waited for Carol to arrive. (everyone else in the family knew about it) The following video is what took place. 





It just made you smile, didn't it?

I will be the first to leave a comment and say how much fun it was to plan this little event and see it play out!

Excellent catch. I'm glad you were able to capture that moment on film. Alison gives me that reaction everytime I make back from shooting with Curtis.

Thanks Megan and everyone involved. I don't think I will ever be able to watch it without reliving the emotional shock. So I may only watch it annually on Staci's birthday. It was the best surprise ever!
