Family Affair

What a wonderful weekend.  My brother is getting set to celebrate his 40th birthday this week so his wife planned a surprise party for him this past weekend.  My Mom, Sister and Niece came in for the party.  Since it was a surprise, none of us were to announce they were coming or that they were here.

We had an amazing weekend.  After picking them up on Friday, we all played a long round of Beatles: Rock Band.  They had never played and fell in love with it.  On Saturday we did a bit of shopping and a bit more Beatles.  Finally at the party, all went without a hitch.  The surprise was great and upon seeing out of town family, the happiness was even bigger.

On Sunday, we decided to set out on a whirlwind tour of our home growing up, schools while there and the downtown area.  A visit to the hometown candy shop, still open, brought the biggest excitement of the day. 

It was a great weekend with the family.
