My sister Stacy is moving from Paradise Valley, AZ to Mesa, AZ and her house sold in just a week! I don't think anyone was expecting it to sell so quickly. So when my sister Missy & I heard that Stacy was overwhelmed with packing her entire house in just a few weeks during her (6) kids busiest time of year with school/activities & her husband was on call every weekend we decided we'd better head down there to help her. Our husbands and friends were nice to watch our kids so we could head down there for a couple of days. My parents were already down there tending my brother's kids so we arranged all the details with them so that we could surprise Stacy. You may remember this post when my sisters surprised me. We love a good surprise! There were definitely a few hiccups making it all come together, but we pulled it off and the look on Stacy's face when she opened her front door and we were standing there was priceless! It took her a good 5 minutes or so to not have the look of disbelief on her face. It was awesome!
Unfortunately this is the only picture I have of our 2 day adventure. We were so busy packing we didn't do a lot of picture taking. This was taken just after we arrived with my iPhone so the quality isn't great.
These two little ones got to tag-a-long for the adventure and my parents were so helpful to watch them and Stacy's twin boys all day so the three of us girls could just pack, pack, pack.
We got a TON done and put Stacy in good shape for her move. It was so fun to spend time talking with my sisters & parents for those couple of days. Packing isn't so bad when you're doing it with other people.
Here is the video my Dad took of the surprise moment. It's about 6ish minutes long and won't be entertaining to most of you. The surprise comes in the first minute, so you can just watch that and then bail. The rest will be boring unless you are my sisters/parents. :)

What a happy video! I'm so glad you guys could help get Stacy and her family all packed up; that's awesome!
Looks like you've been busy with a lot of fun. Can't wait to see you guys in a couple of days for some more of it!
You guys are so supportive of each other - I think that is wonderful!! I am sure that Stacy appreciated all of your help!
What fun, I love that you guys surprise each other! And the video was fun, you are all so cute. And I agree, packing wouldn't be so bad with sisters to help you out!
That is funny to watch. I wonder why we didn't hug very much.
That is so great you were able to help your sister move. Aaron and I moved in 1 week from VA to ID (I was 8 mos. pregnant), and I am so grateful my mom was there to help!
Oh my word I just LOVE stuff like this! Sisters and surprises. Does it get any better?
You know I watched and loved the whole video. I love your dad laughing through the whole thing. Such a cute dad! I love how surprised everyone is... even the kids. I love how Stacy wants to know if Missy was at the good mall. I love how HAPPY everyone is. I love how your mom is explaining everything. I'M SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS!
Do you yell happy birthday at the very beginning?
