Everyone was delighted that Popi, Bebe, and Aunt Dellie were in town to celebrate Popi's birthday this past weekend with the family and Ba and Opa. The girls proudly showed off their life-sized portraits along with their artistic styles (Mommy probably made Dolly a little too chubby, but Evie's party hat makes up for it).
After a delicious meal of ribs and pulled pork, the girls sang "Happy Birthday" as loud as they could. They had helped Bebe ice the cake and now helped Popi blow out all the candles.
Then it was time to dig in - Ellie ate her chocolate cake and frosting with gusto!
The girls painted rocks to make paperweights for Popi's office - Ellie incorporated her favorite color purple and Evie made an Irish flag with a golden heart (or harp, depending on who you ask). Popi gives Ellie "knucks" in appreciation.
The girls had a delightful couple of days with their grandparents, especially Ellie, who got to spend the whole day with Aunt Dellie and Bebe on Friday. They went to the Air and Space Museum where they saw the smallest plane - Skybaby - and Bebe "saved the day!"
Popi McDonald and the Range sisters get ready to hit the road after a lovely visit - and battle the DC traffic (that itself will age you a bit). Happy Birthday Popi!
