Surprise! My Dad turned 50 over the weekend, and my bro and sis-in-law (with their 2-month-old!) surprised him by driving 12 hours and showing up on the doorstep Friday evening. We had a fun weekend hanging out, talking, eating, watching old home videos, and enjoying beautiful Colorado. Calla LOVES her newest little cousin, Solomon. He is just too cute!

She also can’t get enough of her Uncle Daniel…

Just a couple of Royals fans…

Grandma with her sweet little grand-bundle…

We spent Saturday afternoon at Eleven Mile Canyon…

Superdaddy!

Saturday evening brought a crazy hailstorm. Eric and Daniel decided to see who could stand outside in the hail the longest. I think it was a draw…

The weekend was tons of fun and we’re looking forward to the next time we get to see Dan, Brit, and baby Soli!

Great pics! We loved the weekend and Dad has expressed how overly-blessed he is to have such sweet kids! And we are so very thankful for Eric and Brittany! It’s such a gift from God when your family loves one another and truly enjoys the time they have together! Praise!

Actually, I made sure that Eric was the first one to step under the overhang. Not to brag or anything.
