Grandpa came to California!

Pat came to CA for a job interview and so we went to go and spend a few hours with him. We went out to dinner at Chevys and I was telling Stephen and Pat how my old friend Stephen Scholle used to come here for his birthday every year to get the free birthday hat. Well our waitress overheard us and she surprised all of us by bringing Katie a hat and some fried ice cream as well as half of the staff to sing a version of "Happy Birthday"! The look on Katie's face when they placed this huge hat on her head and all of these people gathered around her unexpectedly and started to clap and sing was priceless. Sadly I didn't have my camera with me to capture the moment. The funny part was that our waitress told me later that to bring out the hat she had to lie to all of her co-workers. she told them that it was Katie's one year old birthday. Needless to say this was right before Katie's second birthday so I really doubt that any one believed her! Why our waitress decided that Katie needed to have the FULL Chevys experience I don't know but it sure made it a fun and memorable event! Now every time Katie plays with her hat she talks about Grandpa Smith!
