OLC Surprise....

The Thursday before Thanksgiving I was on the phone at work and there was a knock on the door. I was on an important call so I ignored the knock and another knock came. At this point I was a little aggravated so I said "I'm on the phone." There was this voice that said, "I know but I need you." I opened up the door and it was my sweet friend and teacher at OLC, Johnna. She said Barrett was very upset and wanted to see "Aunt Holly." Well.....you tell me one of my kids is upset and I come running! So, I told my friend on the phone I would call them back and Johnna and I began walking through the hallway. She proceeded to tell me what had taken place in the classroom and that Bear was just having a hard time getting "over it." I was wondering why we were walking towards a classroom that we typically do not use during OLC, however, I had a one track mind of Barrett on my mind. As soon as the door opened I began to hear all these little voices scream at me, "SURPRISE!" Soon thereafter they began to sing Happy Birthday to me! It was the sweetest thing. There was a cake with candles and the teachers had all signed a BIG card for me! Most of the time my Bday is celebrated very early due to my Bday always being around Tgiving so it typically always catches me off guard. It was a sweet day at school that day!
