Living the Small Town Life: Easter in Birmingham

We had a great Easter celebrated our Risen Savior with my family at my sister's house in Birmingham, AL. I miss my family so much, and I especially miss them getting to see little Brieleigh grow up, and I miss getting to see my nephew Peter grow up. So times like this where we can get together and fellowship is priceless!

We flew into Birmingham Thursday night before Easter. That was Brieleigh's third plane ride, and she did fine though this time she let us know that she was tired of flying and ready to stay at home for a long while.

Friday morning when Peter woke up, he and Brieleigh played and tried to put each others hands in their mouths and had little baby conversations. My mom and Maddy got there that morning. We just hung out then at lunch with Katie on her lunch break. Cal got there for lunch too. After that we went to the Peanut Depot and got some hot fresh roasted peanuts and walked around downtown. For supper we ate at a fancy Greek restaurant which was very load so no one noticed the babies crying. Brieleigh finally fell asleep in the Moby.

Saturday we did a garage sale tour around Birmingham in the rain- our family is die hard especially the Buys family. We went to some outlet malls since the weather was yucky. In the afternoon we had tea and cookies with a neighbor on their porch. Brieleigh spit up right on the man's pants in an awkward area. He laughed about it thankfully and cracked jokes the whole time we where there. For supper, after much deliberation (my family stinks at making decisions much to the boys dismay) we decided to eat at Superior Grill, a Mexican restaurant. We arrived at this decision after a voting ballot and an excel spreadsheet to tally the results. :)

Sunday, we went to church and celebrated Christ's resurrection. Sorry, I would tell you about the sermon, but Brieleigh frequently eats during sermons as she did this day. I need to get our family Easter picture from Madeline. We had a nice homecooked meal with chicken poppyseed casserole (my favorite!). That afternoon, Mom, Maddy, and Cal left, and David, Brieleigh and I went to visit some college friends. We hung out with the Buys that night and had a great time just talking about life. We flew out Monday morning, sad to leave but thankful for the time we had together.
