Easter Weekend

After finishing up school Thursday with an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids, I rushed home to pick up Phillip, Jammie, and Sawyer from the airport. On Friday, we enjoyed a leisure breakfast followed by a walk to the playground. That afternoon, we all piled into the car to drive down to Salisbury to surprise Grandma Gribble for her 80th birthday!
Her birthday is not until the 29th, however, we all wanted to celebrate together. Since some Gribble's were down from Ohio, other Gribble's home from college, and still others home from working locations; we decided to all show up that afternoon for a "visit". It wasn't until about an hour after we all arrived that she figured out the surprise! We invited a few neighbors and enjoyed grilled chicken sandwiches with fixins and wonderful sides! It was all complete when she was able to eat a piece of birthday cake and open her presents early! We even got all the Gribble's together for a family picture; including Gus, Grandma Gribble's dog!


Saturday was filled with visiting. Kathryn, Jim, and Kyle all stopped by Saturday morning for coffee and entertainment provided by Sawyer! Afterwards, the Gribble's all went down to visit MeMe and let Sawyer share his love once again! The afternoon was filled running errands and nap taking by some. Phillip and Jammie went out to eat with friends that night which meant we got to keep Sawyer! Mom and I decided to die easter eggs with Sawyer. As this was his first time, I will let the pictures speak for themselves!!!


Sunday morning, we awoke to find the easter bunny had arrived! We enjoyed watching Sawyer look through his basket. The day was spent visiting again with people at church, everyone at Gen's for lunch, and a quick visit with the Dyer's. We did have just enough time to take off our jackets, turn on the timer, and pose for a quick photo!


Even though we were unable to see David, we were all thinking about him on his birthday!!!! So, happy birthday again Uncle Dave! Easter weekend ended as the next part of break began. Monday morning, Mom and I caught a 7 am flight to.....CALIFORNIA!!!!!
