Sydney's Birthday!

 On Sunday the 22nd, we had Grandma & Papa Gibson over for dinner to celebrate Sydney's birthday. Sydney picked the menu of S&S Chicken and funeral potatoes.  It had been the primary program at church and I also had sharing time, so by the time I got home and we started the chicken, dinner was a lot later than we'd hoped. Sydney made the funeral potatoes and cake and did a great job!
 Cute Papa & Grandma!
 Sydney's Mom & Dad
 It's not often we can surprise Sydney. She's good at guessing gifts...gets it from her Dad.  She also snoops!  Dad & I had bought her a phone for her birthday two weeks before and hid it.  Dad was convinced that she knew about it because the dumb cellular phone company texted her old phone (really old phone-it was mine from about 3 or 4 years ago) and said the changes had been made to the account.  Her old phone still worked though and so I explained it away as I changed some features.
 But, look at that face! That is TOTAL surprise from Sydney!


 There are a lot of these pictures, but I love the sequence of her total surprise, to her getting teary-eyed and finally at the last 2 pictures, Sydney returns as she poses for the camera!  It was so fun to see her surprise that I even got teary-eyed!
 Here come the tears!
 And Sydney hardly ever cries....this was so great!

She told us we were the best parents ever and we got a big squeeze and kiss from this girl!


Then, she spent the rest of the evening asking all of us if we knew she got an iPhone?
