I'm so excited, I actually made it to Anderson's Birthday! I had initally decided that I wasn't going to fly in for the party because we had just gotten back from our trip and money was tight due to our 6 weeks of traveling. But about a week and a half before the party I realized that there was no way I could miss it.
Once it was decided that I was going to go I immediately hit up Priceline and started to negotiate airline tickets. I was planning on flying in the Thursday before, but Wednesday had rolled around with no ticket. I entered my usual price, changed the airport to New Orleans, and thought that they would sell me the ticket for sure. This still didn't work, but they said that if I flew that day they would give me the ticket for $190.
I got my shift covered at work, packed my bag, and jumped on the plane! You should know that I had told no one that I was flying in so you can imagine my mom's surprise when I called her from Denver and asked if she was busy or if she could pick me up from the airport in a few hours. She was estatic and said she would be at the airport with "bells on".
Anderson came over on Friday like usual and we had a great day together....we even took some pictures out in the backyard. When Kristina came to pick him up I hid in the back and we continued to have my arrival a surprise.
On Saturday morning we headed over to Travis and Kristina's house to prep for the party. I crouched down and hid in the back as we pulled up in their driveway. Mom got out the car and said "I hope you don't mind but I brought along some extra help". I then jumped out the car and surprised them! They were also very excited that I had ended up coming.

In the end Anderson's party turned out really well. It took us a while, but Kristina was finally able to get him to nap at around 12:45. We then ended up having to wake him up at 1:55 so he could enjoy the party. Because of this he was a little grouchy and overwhelmed with all the people around, but he eventually warmed up and enjoyed opening his presents and eating cake.
On Sunday Anderson came over again and we went to the park and took a walk around the neighborhood. Afterwards we headed to Ninfa's and had a great time eating delicious mexican food and drinking margaritas. There's never a trip to BR without a trip to Ninfas....that would just be wrong.
