"Surprise" Visitors!

All of my siblings convened in Omaha on December 4th to surprise my mom with a birthday party!  It was a lot of fun; the food and drinks were delicious and plentiful, and the birthday girl was truly surprised and happy. 

The birthday girl does not care to have her photo taken but I did it anyway.

The best part was having a few of them out to noTTafarm on Sunday morning!  While Nick visited briefly last summer, this was Brooke's first visit.  It was great having noTTafarm veterans Mom, Dad, Mark, LuAnn and Lauren all there for a few minutes on a cold, cold morning.

Brooke, LuAnn and Lauren obliged the pushy photographer's request.

We didn't put Dad to work this time . . . but we'll keep him busy this spring.
