L'anniversaire de Grand-Mère

For Oma's 70th birthday, she thought she was going to Europe for a week with her husband.  Imagine her surprise when her daughters walked up behind her at the airport with her suitcases and passports!!  Her birthday gift (from Opa) was for Aunt Marie, Aunt Christy, and I to crash the Paris portion of their trip.  No sons-in-law or grandkids this time, but still lots of important memories to preserve in the baby book.

Surprise!!

Nous sommes arrivés!

Partenaires à Paris.

Birthday dinner at Jaja.
