We drove up north this weekend to celebrate Christie's mom's 50th birthday
and Easter with our families. We spent Friday night with Bryan's family
and then drove to MD on Saturday morning. We threw a surprise 50th
birthday party for Christie's mom on Saturday afternoon. It was definitely
a success! Bobbie was surprised and everybody had a good time. We
had Easter brunch with Christie's family on Sunday, then drove home.
