Operation Rhonda...

After many years of putting up with my Father-In-Law, and I say that in the most loving way, I will honestly take any opportunity to light a fire under his toes. For fun, that is...lol!

Chad and I were excited to hear his sister, Rhonda, was going to fly up for Thanksgiving. She had a ton going on over the last year and needed to get out of town for some fun. I ask you...what could possibly be more fun than giving RC HEART FAILURE!?! Not much!!! SO, we kept it a surprise and grew more and more excited as the day approached.

We picked Rhonda up the afternoon before and hung out at our house. The boys were excited to have some time with their aunt and I always have a blast with my sister-in-law. Rhonda has a way about her...can't explain it, but she makes me laugh!

Once we got Papa upstairs, Rhonda came around the corner of the kitchen with her Old Dutch chips... "Hey Dad, can you get these open for me!?!" RC did a double take ...priceless!
We got Papa to cry!
Andrea 1...Papa 0!
Rhonda and Chad... Rhonda had got Chad a Monopoly shirt that said "make it rain." Boy did she regret it when that became his catch phrase while she was here.
Rhonda and the boys... The boys are wearing shirts from their cousin Ben's baseball team.

Rhonda looking on-line to see how she can become a representative for her favorite chips, Old Dutch. It is a little known fact that the best item to pack in your suit case when visiting Rhonda in California is Old Dutch chips since she can't get them down there.

Thanksgiving Diner!!!

G'Mom listening to stories...

Let the games begin... It wouldn't be a Coleman event without Monopoly.
