Easter and Birthday All in One!

This weekend was truly one of the best! Carrie's birthday happened to fall on Easter this year with my Dad's following tomorrow. We decided to celebrate the big weekend together in Starkville and it was a blast. Saturday the boys played golf (big surprise) while Carrie had a brunch at her apartment. She very conveniently lives in the Cotton District- right where the arts festival was this weekend! We got to visit at her place and then walk around the festival. It was very hot, but very fun.

Saturday night the O'Nan's were wonderful enough to let us have a birthday cookout at their home. As always, we had big fun. We even had a few fierce games of croquet going.

I just love Easter Sunday. It's such a hopeful and happy day. I love a packed sanctuary with everyone in their new Easter duds. But my favorite is the music. I love the songs and the brass instruments brought in special for the service. We celebrated and then went to Restaurant Tyler for lunch. Carrie's birthday would have been even better if she wasn't so sick! What an awful day to feel awful! Get well soon birthday girl!
