Papa's Birthday, So Much Fun!

On Friday, we made the trip to Oklahoma for Papa's birthday. When we arrived, the girls gave Papa his goody bag. They were so excited and Papa loved his goodies! Grandma loved the M&Ms we put in for her too.

Saturday, we got up, had yummy waffles that Grandma made and took Lizzie and Gracie shopping for Easter dresses. For lunch, we met up with my sister and family and Aunt Betty. My dad and Wes were stuck at home because of plumbing problems. Calling an emergency plumber is no fun on a Saturday. The girls were really interested why this stranger was fixing Grandma and Papa's toilet.

After lunch, we went out shopping again. This time, it was for Sydney and Sam. It is always crazy when we take all four kids out. The girls were not listening and driving me insane. They were crawling on the floor, and in and out of the dressing rooms that Sydney and Sam were using. Finally, Sydney and Sam made their selections and we were on our way home.

Saturday night, my cousins came over to mom and dad's house for steaks. Wes grilled the steaks. It was really yummy. It was fun to see Chris, Angie, and Kassidy. We have about a month until we get to meet baby Dawson.

Sunday, we had breakfast at Braum's (which the girls tell us is Grandma's favorite) with my parents and my sister's family.

 Then we made a visit to Grandma and Grandpa Potter. They just returned from wintering in south Texas in their RV. They stated for three months! We missed them and are glad to see them.

For Papa's birthday lunch, we had burgers and then went to my sister's house to plant potatoes with my brother-in-law Paul. The girls had a blast.

The Oklahoma wind was blowing. Check out the girls hair

After the potato planting, we headed home. The girls were happy eating Cheetos for the ride home. When we pulled up to the house, the girls burst into tears. They were upset they didn't get to watch a movie. So, we took them inside and they watched Tangled. They were happy girls again.
