Birthday Surprise

The Bean's birthday is on June 13th. She normally receives only 3 gifts from us: visit a location, and two toys. This year we planned to go to Florida, to swim with dolphins and spend time at the beach. I asked her awhile back what she REALLY wanted for her birthday. She excitedly said LAPTOP. Brian and I chuckled. I said it would be very expensive and I didn't think we could afford it. She wasn't too disappointed when I said no. So all was good. Our families eventually called to ask what the Bean wanted or needed for her birthday. Naturally the story came up of how she asked for a laptop, it was a cute story.

We were expecting birthday cards in the mail the day before our trip to Florida. Brian was a little surprised when the envelope turned out to be a box, so we let the Bean open it up as soon as we got inside. As she is tearing the paper off, I noticed the box was from DELL. Brian and I looked at each other and said "Nah.... she (grandma) probably reused the box!" So we tell the Bean to close her eyes as we lift the bag from inside the box. To all of our surprise, it is a brand new DELL Laptop complete with bag.

The Bean of course screamed when we told her to open her eyes. She said she was going to cry, she was so happy. Happy Birthday!

Thanking her grandma on the phone.
