Mimi Darlin' Comes to Town!!

Ever since Shannon was about 2 she has called Jeffs mom Mimi Darlin'! All the grandkids have always called her Mimi, however Shannon decided to add her own part! She lives in Arizona and flew up here for a visit for this past week! It was a lot of fun having her here for a week and very nice! Jeff and I weren't able to take any days off of work but we still got to visit and hang out. She had dinner ready every night, laundry done, house cleaned.....it was so nice! And very much appreciated! :) Well while she was here, the girls and her kept "whispering" about something....and we weren't allowed to know about what! They just said "it's a secret". Well narrowing it down with clues that we picked up on we knew something was going to happen Wednesday when we both got home from work! Well Wednesday night, Jeffs Aunt, Uncle, cousins wife and little boy from Ephrata came over, we all had a big Spaghetti dinner and hung out. It was fun....but still not very surprising seeing as though we always get together, especially when a family member comes up from AZ. Well sure enough, after dinner Jeffs mom told Jeff and I that we had to go upstairs so they could "talk"......riiiight! :) When we were told that we could come back down, we were right...they were up to something. Janet (Jeffs mom) had spent all day baking, frosting, and assembling a 3 teir wedding cake!! They had champaigne glasses for Jeff and I, punch made, confetti on the table....they had thrown us a surprise wedding reception/anniversary party!!! How fun! Now I know, our anniversary isn't until September, but Jeff and I never had a reception...not even a wedding cake! And Janet wanted to do that for us while she was up here! It was so nice and a lot of fun...and the cake was YUMMY!! She completely out-did herself! She is amazing! And the girls, yes even Shannon, kept a great secret! :) Thanks everyone! :) Here are a couple pictures of the cake she make and just some from the week she was here! Oh and Jeffery officially has 2 teeth!! And Im pretty sure hes getting more!!!
