The best birthday present

So, I'm sitting at home this last Friday after work, it's a rainy day and I got all cuddled up on the couch in a blanket waiting for Josh to get home from work at any minute. I put in a movie and about 10 minutes later i hear a knock at the door. I'm kinda wondering why in the world Josh would be knocking at the door but I'm not expecting anyone else. I think about it for a few seconds and then go to the door and hear a knock again. I decide to open it. When I open the door I see my adorable niece Makenna standing there with her suitcase, Josh with a camera and my mom standing there smiling. I don't do surprises so I am in complete shock because I have no idea that my niece was going to be coming to visit me. When I finally realized what was going on, I could not be more excited. I miss my niece so much and it's so hard being away from her. We are best buds and I love every minute I get to be around her. My mom knows this so by birthday present to me was to bring my niece up to see me. It was so awesome and so much fun having her here for the weekend. On Saturday we went to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver which I have been wanting to go to all summer long but Josh has been holding me off so that we could go with Makenna. Well, since that didn't take all day, we could see Six Flags from the Aquarium and Makenna said that she wanted to go there. So, we headed over to Six Flags for the rest of the day and had so much fun. Makenna went on the Ferris Wheel and the Rapid ride and got soaked but she just laughed about it. We had to take them back to the airport on Sunday so Makenna could get back to school on Monday. But having them here this weekend was the best birthday present I could ask for and I actually had no idea that it was coming. Thank you so much Mom and Sherman for doing this for me. I'm so thankful that Josh was nice enough to sleep on the couch so that Makenna and I could have a slumber party together for a couple nights.
