Wonderful times...

We drove down to San Antonio Wednesday to surprise Jo on her birthday. We got there for the last 30 minutes of her class like we planned and found her in the middle of a surprise party her students and a couple of parents gave her. The vice-principal escorted us to her room and held ellie by the hand and took her around the corner through Jo's door, ellie was carrying a happy birthday mylar balloon. The principal said, kylah this little girl was looking for you. Jo turned around and saw her and ellie's face lit up, so did jo's. It was so cute. Daddy came in with the cupcakes that every girl should have on her birthday in first grade. We hung out awile and ellie enjoyed the class alot, drawing and writing and playing at all the centers. Afterward we went to jo's house and let the babies rest and then off to p.f.changs for a birthday dinner. It was a great day!

Talk about a movie on the big screen!
