The Easter Bunny came!

We know that our mom loves and misses all of us. But she REALLY misses Dalton.

Dalton is her baby, and while she's super proud of everything he's doing in college, she misses him.

So Dalton and Hallie conspired a few weeks ago to see if we could get Dalton to Kansas City for Easter. He had games all Easter weekend (baseball teams, it's Easter, give it a rest...), and wouldn't be done until Saturday evening. 

As the day approached, Hallie got nervous and told Dalton maybe he shouldn't come. It was an eight hour drive, at night, after two days of baseball games. Not the best conditions for driving.

But Dalton knew his mom missed him, and he misses her too. So he jumped in his truck after his last baseball game, and drove to KC. 

Before Tammi went to bad that night she called Dalton. He skillfully (perhaps too skillfully...) told her he was in his dorm room, getting ready for bed. Tammi was almost in tears thinking about her boy alone on Easter. 

He arrived at Hallie's just after 1 a.m. 

Below is the video of Tammi seeing him on Sunday morning as she got ready for church. Warning: it's a tear jerker.

We're grateful for a mom who always went the extra mile for us, so we don't mind going the extra mile for her. And we're grateful we finally got to surprise the people who always surprised us on Easter morning. The Easter Bunny really came!
