Welcome Home Daddy!!

We are SO excited that Daddy is finally home from his deployment. We have missed him so much! Sneaky Mommy decided that it would be fun to surprise all the monkeys with Daddy's homecoming. All three of the boys went off to school like a regular day and one of our neighbors and Mommy's friend offered to let Sophie hang out for a little while. Mommy got to go pick up Daddy all by herself, which has never happened before! She got everything ready at the house like hanging up the banners, emptying the Daddy kiss jars & changing the countdown to ZERO! Then she set off to pick him up.

First on the list to surprise was Sophie bug. She seemed very surprised, but so excited to see Daddy again!

Next up, was to surprise the Garett monkey at preschool! He was speechless as first, which if you know Garett at all, you know that doesn't happen very often!

After Garett got some snuggles in, it was time to head to the elementary school to surprise the big boys!!

Tyler James had a huge smile on his face walking down the hallway towards Daddy! He had a lot to tell Daddy when he first saw him!

Caleb man wasn't sure what to think at first. He has been asking about when Daddy would be home since he left, but he's asked pretty much everyday lately. It didn't take him long to warm up and show off that big smile of his!

After everyone was finally reunited, it was time to celebrate! What better way than with cupcakes? We all love cupcakes, and it was a fun way to celebrate the end of Daddy's long deployment! All 6 together again, and we couldn't be more excited! Welcome Home Daddy!! We love you!

After gymnastics tonight we opened up the special box we received last week! It had specific instructions that we couldn't open it until Daddy was home. Little did Mommy know, the monkeys knew what was in there already, but had most likely forgotten! Nana, Paca and Aunt Katie were very sneaky over one of the monkeys' visits to NC this summer and had some pictures taken of the kiddos. Some of the pictures featured this special "Welcome Home Daddy" sign that they held. Well, Nana & Aunt Katie had a hard time deciding which picture to send for the welcome home surprise, so they got a collage of all of the welcome home ones and one of their favorites of the four monkeys in the middle. What a good surprise!
