Anden's Early Birthday Surprise

Date: Aug 24th

With my sweet Mother's passing,

we had to rearrange a lot of things in order to hurry and get up to Idaho.

One of them was Anden's birthday and his party.

He was so understanding about it and didn't complain once.

So we decided to surprise him early with his birthday gift

before we left for our trip.

After school on Friday he found a scavenger hunt of clues waiting for him!
These kids know by now a scavenger hunt always has an awesome ending!
The love it!

And the final clue led him to his gift!!

A new dirt bike!!

He started that thing up and zipped straight across the yard in a flash! lol

And then Ryan, Anden, Owen and Taylee

immediately loaded up and hit the desert for some riding fun!!

(while I stayed back with the littles and finished packing for Idaho! Hmm how did I draw that short stick?!)

They sent me pics and videos of their adventures!

They had a blast!

Anden was so shocked and ecstatic about his gift!

I had repeatedly told him a dirt bike was WAY too much for a birthday gift.

I guess sometimes you just get lucky! ;)

Happy Early Birthday Anden!!
