Luckily the party remained a surprise until the very last minute Ruth was walking in the door and noticed her friend's license plate parked down the way...but she still had no idea her family was there until she was inside for a while - we were all hiding around the corner. Here's a great, but long video of the surprise...it cracks me up, she glanced our way a few times but obviously was so overwhelmed she didn't notice us at first. Her face is priceless once she makes the connection - I boohoo'd right along with her, it was such a sweet moment.
Ruth's brother in law Ray made her a walker with Bronco attire and a horn on it, it gets plunked down right in front of her as we're singing, too funny. Here's Aunt Phyllis modeling the walker...
We had such a great time hanging with her, watching her open all of her gifts and seeing an amazing woman honored in the perfect way.

Towards the end of the party, we were entertaining ourselves with our cousins' daughter Megan who is seriously the cutest. Good times...
The next day we hung out as a family and had a great time catching up. My darn camera is on the fritz and seems to have a hard time focusing...but you'll get the gist.
