We pulled it off!!! My son, Anthony flew in late Thurs night. I told DH Firday night we were having dinner with Dan & Joe (other sons) on Joe's boat. He thought that was awesome...little did he know, we got on the boat and my son Anthony came up from the closed cabin and DH CRIED!!!! He couldn't believe he was here. Sat morning Anthony and his best friend took DH golfing while we finished the set up for his Birthday Party. They brought him back and it was Awesome!! We had a week-end full of memories and laughter. It felt like the old days when all my boys lived home and hung out with all their friends. As the Mom it was "priceless" seeing them all here again. I don't know when it will ever happen again so i hold these memories dear in my Heart. I am sure you guys know what i mean. Here are some pics.....

Glad you had a great party!

I'm so happy that it turned out so well!!

What a great lifetime memory! Thanks for sharing it with us.

This just makes my heart happy! Great job of surprising your dear Hubby!

Well done, the pics are wonderful but the memories are priceless.

Glad ya pulled it off! We did the same back when DH was 50 and snuck in one of the kids. It sure makes for a good memory!

Glad you had a wonderful get together.

I am so happy for you. I know that feeling so well. It is so seldom I get all four together. Usually, when one of them gets married. You will re-live each moment so often. God bless you and yours.

Surprises are always nice. We pulled one over on my father in law. We bought a house about 15 miles from him after living two hours away for several years. We kept it a secret and got my brother in law to take him for a drive and stop at this house 'cause he thought he knew someone who lived here. My FIL was so surprised and pleased to have us closer - he is 86 years old.

:thumbup: Priceless !

Oh sweetie, I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing those wonderful pics!!! :D:D

Good for you and your family. Love it when a plan comes together.

Wonderful that everyone was able to get back together. My girls live here in town but son, in Air Force, is stationed in Tampa... Getting to see him, wife, and son (17 months) is rare. I feel blessed... even if we only get to skype occasionally.
