Jade and Gasper arrived on Thursday afternoon and that evening we drove to Montgomery to pick up Khiri!
Friday, Jade and I went to get "hot stone" massages as a sister activity. I am not sure who enjoyed the massages more - us or our massage people listening to us talk about the hilarity that is our lives! We all met up with Steve's grandparents who had an unexpected stop in Alabama due to car troubles on their way back to Michigan from Florida. I told Steve that the car troubles were God's way of encouraging his grandparents to spend some of the Easter holiday with us. Then, that evening, Justin arrived to begin the holiday festivities!
We spent Saturday "touring" Birmingham, with stops at Vulcan, Jim N Nicks downtown, Charlemagne Records and Birmingham Botanical Gardens =) Jade and I made everyone color eggs with us, too!
Sunday, I got up bright and early and went to early church service with Justin and Khiri. It was a great way to start my morning out. We then got home and started cooking and sat outside and enjoyed mimosas until dinner! We had plenty of company for Easter, too! Claire, Rhiannon and Joel joined all of us and participated in the Pinata and Egg Wars! Steve managed to corral several people for games fo "cornhole" and bocce ball before he "retired" for the evening in the hammock. I think it's fair to say it was a long but exciting day for all of us!
Monday we took Jade and Gasper to The American Village in Montevallo and then to eat at Joe's Italian in Alabaster. Jade and I quite enjoyed ourselves and the historical "living" characters we had the opportunity to chat with throughout the village. Steve, however, was on the grumpy side from a recovery from Sunday and Gasper I think just thought Jade and I were weird. George Washington seemed to enjoy us, though! HA!
