Garrison's and Grammy's Birthday Weekend








Grammy's birthday celebration started on Friday with a trip to KC with Debbie Sieger for fun, fellowship and SHOPPING.  We had a great day.

Saturday morning, Grammy and Grandpa headed to Olathe for a day of fun with Amanda, Peyton and Garrison and to celebrate Grammy's birthday at On the Border.  We played at home before stopping at Stride Rite to buy some new shoes for both Peyton and Garrison - and as a bonus, Peyton got a new umbrella - Hello Kitty!  The meal at the restaurant was entertaining and delicious - see Garrison's black bean face!  Peyton enjoyed her signature guacamole appetizer.
Peyton came home to Clinton with us to spend the night.  After visiting with Grammaw a bit, we headed to the Strike Zone for a game of bowling - her first.  She loved it but was "done" (as she put it) around the 7th frame - she is a hoot.  Then we walked down to Country Mart for her to take a ride on Lucky Star.

Peyton wanted to pick up Grammaw, so Grammaw and Murray came over to our house for dinner and the evening.  Peyton thought she wanted to take a jacuzzi bath, so I filled the tub and put in some bubble bath.  After watching the jets do their thing while out of the tub, she thought it best to turn them off before she got in - too funny.  She enjoyed the deep water.  Snack, read a book and then to bed.

Saturday morning, Peyton wanted to pick up Grammaw first thing, so we did.  Make believe fun before church, then church, donut time, Walgreens and McDonald's for lunch - a trip to the pond to check on the frogs too - then back to Olathe for Garrison's First Birthday Party.

Garrison had on his new red Elmo shoes and his Birthday Boy shirt and bib for the big event.  His Mommy had decorated the house so cute - balloons galore - all primary colors with 1st everywhere!  He is quite a pro of going up the stairs now - so fast.  After all the Todds arrived, Garrison opened gifts and then we visited and enjoyed a delicious burger/dogs and all the fixings meal before Garrison blew out his candles with help from Peyton and had cake and cookies.  Such a great weekend - priceless memories.
