big surprise!!!!

7.27.16

I had been waiting for this day for months!!!!!!!

This also had been in the works for months.... So it was 

exciting to finally have it happening! 

Kirstin was coming home for a 2 week visit!!!!

The only ones who knew were myself, Kasey and 

my dad but he thought it was the next day.

He had planned a big lunch at Olive Garden for the big

reveal and was so proud of himself... Little did he know

 he would be getting a big surprise too!

I picked Kirst up in Vegas around 9:30 am, she had 

meeting with a counselor at UNLV so we met with

him at 11. She is looking at doing the ARL program

for special ed when she comes home in Jan.

One of her only requests was to eat at Cafe Rio, drink

Dr. Pepper and soak in the tub while she was home.

I was able to hook her up with a Dr. Pepper and 

Cafe Rio which didn't disappoint!

We headed to Mesquite and the plan was to drop her

off at McDonald's and I would go grab the kids for 

ice cream - thinking we were going to meet Andrea.

The plan was in motion and I don't think I could have

planned it any better. Their reactions were priceless!!!!

Kirst was standing with her back to us at the ice cream

machine, we ordered and Mason was the only one to 

order one. She turned to give it to him and he looked at 

her, looked at me with the most confused, excited look 

on his face. Brooklin has started to get her drink but had 

turned around as Kirst was giving Mason his ice cream.

She was brought to tears which we knew she would be

but it was priceless!!! She just ran over and hugged Kirst

and sobbed for a good 5 mins or so.... We headed to our house

for a little bit, Kirst had a power nap and then we took off

for the next surprise! 

Kasey had gone over to my parents and told them he had 

ordered pizza. We picked up the pizza and Kirst was going 

to be the delivery girl.... We just had to make sure mom 

answered the door since we were surprising her for her

60th birthday!!!! Kirst was at the door and I was hiding 

behind the bushes to video - Mom answered the door

and Kirst said, I have a pizza delivery for the Winters.

All mom could say was, Are you kidding me?

Dad was sitting in his chair in disbelief since he 

was expecting her tomorrow!!! It was awesome and 

mom even shed a few tears... I love watching the videos

over to see everyone's reaction! We have missed our Kirst,

it had been a year since everyone had seen her so we 

loved having her home for a few weeks!!!!
