So I have my brother, Steve's, name for Christmas this year. He's never gotten a "real" massage from me. I arranged ahead of time to get a sitter (Russ is out of town) so I could surprise him with one. I had Aimee tell him to meet them at Miracle Bowl (right next door to my work) to go bowling with her and the kids. She even had the brilliance to pretend she had no idea where Miracle Bowl was--she just had a coupon. After I finished with my first client, I got the room ready for him, put on my coat, and excitedly ran out to the parking lot--like a giddy school girl. (Brooke, that phrase was for you, remember when we used to always say that??) I saw Steve on the phone in the middle of the parking lot. I called him and hid behind a car. When he answered he turned around and saw me standing behind him. He got off the phone with my dad and told me he was waiting for his family to meet him for bowling and that they were late. I told him it was a ploy and he crooked his head to the side and said, suspiciously, "Really?" I linked arms with him and led him to the clinic, telling him that he was actually here to get a massage. He sheepishly smiled and told me how sneaky me and Aimee are.
I think one of my trademarks is that I LOVE SURPRISES!!! What Christmas surprises have you given or received this year?

Gian got a new pair of glasses right before we moved but was keeping his old pair for options. He still really liked them. They were one of the last things we packed but we couldn't find them anywhere. The morning we were leaving for my parents house I found them in the Tupperware box with the vacuum attachments (?!?!?)after 6 months of looking. I wrapped them up for a Christmas surprise.
I surprised Sandy with her favorite on her birthday - chocolate mint pie. She really was surprised. It was fun.
