The Surprise...

This has been 18 months in the making.  The man (my cousin) at the top of the picture turns 40 and his wife (bottom left) has organised a surprise party.  He had no idea we had travelled from Scotland to Los Angeles to appear on his doorstep at 9:30 at night.

He was proper taken aback when he peered through the door peep hole and it was the first of a number of layered surprises.  Just before this photo, we video called his dad who was in his bed protesting that he couldn't make it across from Colorado even though his Scottish nephews were here.  He, his daughter and her children turned up on the doorstep the next morning.
