How Many More Times Until Poppy and Dee Get Here???
That has been the most popular question around here followed up only by "then how many until Poppa & Gamma" question. These are lucky boys because the Alabama and Florida spring break fell at the same time and they got visits from both sides.
The first part of the week leading up to Easter we spent time with Poppy, Dee, and GG. Waiting on them was torture. Here is how we filled our time on Friday.

And then finally they were here! After dinner they unloaded the Easter surprises first. I love that Justin and I got great baskets too. Seriously. The best.
