Mommy's Night Out

This busy day ended with a much-needed Mommy's night out w/my friend Dawn. I couldn't tell ya the last night I had a night out w/a friend....so, thanks Dawn. I had a great time shopping and 'closing down' the Red Star Tavern. Diets Cokes, yummy appetizers and cheesecake to celebrate our birthdays, which are only 2 weeks apart. Happy Birthday to US! Thanks Dawn, for being such a wonderful friend....here's to many more birthday celebrations!

Park Play Date - May 16

After Natalie's fun-filled afternoon with Grandparents, she was ready for a park play date with her friend and classmate, Amelia. Amelia's mom and baby brother joined us (me, Natalie, Amanda and Ryan). The kids had a blast playing. Amanda was keeping up w/the big girls and the little guys (Ry and Joey) hung out with their mommies. Ryan got in the swings too and was showing off his "I can grab my toes" trick!

Grandparent's Day @ Preschool

Papa Dan and Grandma C. were able to attend Natalie's special GRANDPARENT'S DAY LUNCHEON & celebration at preschool. They were greeted at the door by Natalie when they arrived, we got a couple of pictures and off they all went together to school. Lunch had been preordered from Froots for the grandparents and kids. Natalie loved her PB&J wrap. She was very excited to tell me that her PB&J was in a TORTILLA! Anyway, they all had a lovely day together making memories and sharing time. I love it. These are the days that I cherish. Natalie is very close to all of her grandparents in one way or another. They all have a special bond and each one of them all have their special way of making Natalie feel like the princess granddaughter that she is. Thanks Grandmas and Grandpas!
