We’ve been holding out on this big FAMILY SURPRISE for quite sometime now. What was supposed to be a birthday surprise, has ended up a random day in May surprise.
YOU GUYS! I can’t keep a secret worth nothing… not one this exciting!
This past weekend we gathered my mum and dad and got together for a pretty standard family BBQ. We played in the backyard, we sipped on an iced latte (or two) and we relsihed in the moment. When the time had come I sprung the very shocking words on the girls…. you guys wan’t a surprise or something?
As casual as that sounded, it was far from unexpected. This little FAMILY SURPRISE had been planned for months. I went to our room and got the custom mermaid pillows I had been hiding and we set them up just so. The girls both got a pillow that they could take turns in changing to reveal the news.
You have to see the video, it’s just magical. I think it’s very clear that Sofia and I share emotional reactions. Shock. Excitment. ALL THE TEARS!
I can’t tell you enough how incredible Maegan over at Glass Knobs and Glue Stix is. If you’re looking to have a set of custom pillows made, or anything personalized for that matter check out her Website. Maegan is clearly brilliant when it comes to creating crafty and catchy custom gifts, including these perfect family surprise mermaid pillows. You can check out her website here.

I couldn’t help it. Both girls love those mermaid tee’s so much. I thought how perfect would a pillow be… and better yet surprising them to Disneyland. EPIC!
