We spent Mother's Day weekend in Atlanta and we had quite a good time. The kids and I left Arkansas very early in the morning on Friday and arrived in Atlanta at about 9:00 AM. The fun started at the airport! My brother Emmanuel also landed in Atlanta from Chicago around the same time we did so we got to see each other before we separated briefly. He headed home to our parents and my sister-in-love Renny picked me up and we headed to hubby's parents!
Nana and Papa Odesanya were too excited to see us. Demi was so in love with his grandpa. For the rest of the day and the next until we left for my parents house, he just wanted his Papa. He would scream "Papa!" whenever he saw him and hold up his hands so Papa could carry him. Demi noticed the overblown photo from our engagement of hubby and I that is still stuck to the mirror above the mantle piece and started pointing and yelling "Daddy!" I thought that was pretty cool!
Fun with Nana Odesanya and cousin Izi...
The next morning on Saturday, we were up bright and early again. Mo had her first hair appointment! We ran into my friend Mary and her daughters Mackenzie and Madeline. We would see them again in just a few hours for Mackenzie's birthday party.
Later that evening at the party...
Demi went for a haircut after the party!
Then we headed to my parents house. Everyone had already arrived by now and the house was filled with love and laughter! We had a treat for the night! SUYA!!! Thank you Aunty Khamisa and Uncle Charles!!! What a fun night!
We were up early the next Day for church. It was Mother's day too!! Hubby initially didn't come down with us because of work. He called early in the morning but I missed his call because I was getting the kids ready, so he text to say Happy Mother's Day. At about 4:00PM that day I was out running errands with my sis. I hadn't heard from hubby since his text so I called twice and there was no response. At this point, I'm upset because I'm thinking it's Mother's Day, I missed your call and you haven't called since to say hello? Uh uh... Lol. We got done and headed to the house, only for me to walk in and hubby is sitting at the breakfast table! I just knew he would pull some stuff like that! I was so excited to see him! That evening we celebrated my dad's 60th and my little sister's graduation. It was a good time with family and friends!
On Monday morning, we were all up early again for my sister's graduation! You can view the photos from that in my previous post. After the graduation, we went back to spend some time at hubby's parents house. Hubby's immediate younger brother was home. He surprised their parents by showing up the previous night! I know... they're full of surprises!
On Tuesday morning, we were up early yet again! LOL. It was time to head to the airport back home to Arkansas!
It's always a joy to be with my family! I can't wait until the next time!
