In early August, Uncle Brad (Stacey's brother) shipped off for a tour of duty in Iraq -- he's a surgeon in the Army. Pretty much within days after his arrival, he started dropping hints to a select few folks that 'getting home for Christmas Eve to surprise Mom and Dad at the Lake House' was looking like a real possibility.
For those of you that know Stacey -- the planning process began almost immediately!
Long story made short -- he was indeed able to get out of Iraq safely, and made it to the RDU airport on the evening of December 20th. Because it was a surprise, only our immediate crew was there to greet him.
Campbell and Carter had their signs ready to go

Of course, we have video too! The first video is us getting ready for Uncle Brad. The second video contains the first 'Uncle Brad' sighting -- go to about the 2:30 mark for the real action!
