Here it is!
My brother, sister-in-law, and I decided to surprise my parents for Christmas this year. For months we told them that I would arrive in America on December 30th. When in truth I was set to arrive Christmas Eve. The original plan was shaken up a bit when my flight was delayed by 10 (yes, 10) hours. I was also rerouted and given an additional leg to fly. Oh and my luggage missed one of my connections. It’s wasn’t the best of flights and travel time totaled over 30 hours. But it was completely worth it. I updated Gid regularly and Theresa kept her camera on her arm waiting to hear my (rental) car pull up. Her timing was perfect and she nailed the video.
You can see my mom turn her head as she hears the back door open. Then in the distance you might be able to hear me singing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” as I run through the kitchen. Then there is alot of screaming (mostly by me). My grandmother, Mama Ann, just stared at me in disbelief. Also, my family in Nashville happened to be on skype so they got to experience the celebration.
It was a super Christmas Day!
