Happy Easter!!






















Last week was Katie and Taylor's Spring Break. We decided to go up to Ohio to visit the Starkey's and see the Twinners (Leisy, Kent, Zeb, Ike and Laney, Taylor and Hank)for Easter. It really is a beautiful drive, but very long. I was really impressed by the kids, they did awesome. NO MELTDOWNS! NO THROWING UP! Hurray for portable DVD players and dramamine.
In the end it was all worth it. We had so much fun. Katie's fever actually went down the morning we were scheduled to leave and that's an answer to prayer! We got up to Oho Thursday night. Friday we hung out with Mommo and went to visit Craig's Dad at his Chiropractic office and Craig and I went to Grandpa's Cheesebarn and Sweetie's to pick up some Easter goodies. Saturday the twinners came down to Ashland and we hung out and visited Amish country and then had a bonfire with Hot dogs and s'mores. A big thanks to Mommo/Yaya/Kathy for hosting us and to Donna Starkey for the fabulous Chicken salad croissants (yum yum). Saturday night we played Euchre and talked and were very silly, it was wonderful.
Sunday we took over the Ashland branch and that was fun too. Then we feasted on Greek food and traditional Easter fixin's (you have to say "fixin's" once you live in the South). It was sad when it was all over but we're glad we went!

I am sooooo jealous! I now know how Amy feels when anyone has the audacity to have fun without her! I want to come to the party too. Maybe next year? :)

Hey Amy! I love the pics! I think that Craig and his brothers are looking a little more alike as the the years go by. Did the WHOLE Starkey family go to the Branch together? If you did, you really did take over the Branch! :)hehe Love you girl!
