Friday night we went to dinner at my #1 favorite place to eat- J. Alexanders. We met Natalie, Jesse and sweet baby Ceci. At 3 weeks, Ceci is now 6 lbs, 9 ounces and 19 inches long.. just almost the size I was when I was born. She is a tiny little sweet thing. I got give her a bottle and change her diaper and outfit. She was the perfect baby in the restaurant and didn't fuss at all. We had so much with them.
Saturday, we got up and had breakfast at home. Then we went to pretty much every hobby and craft store in the area to find supplies for my classroom's t-shirts for the upcoming ecology festival this Friday. Nothing like the last minute on the t-shirts designs. They are going to be awesome and I will so a blog entry on them as I am making them later in the week. We also went to Toys'R'Us where we bought a gift for Alice's 3rd Birthday, and an extra Wii wheel for us. Now, we can race each other on Mario Kart.
Saturday Afternoon, we picked up Meghan and went to the birthday party. Alice has a M&M themed party. It was lots of fun. For the cake, we had M&M ice cream sandwiches. I thought it was such a cute idea. I always have fun at parties at the Young's house.
After the party, Meghan, Mr. D. and I went to Walmart. We all needed to get stuff. The buggy filled up quickly. I got the most beautiful white wave petunias- which I will take a picture of for you when I plant them. We got the makings for a cookout and came home to grill burgers. Here is a picture of something funny we saw at Walmart. It was supposed to say "Live, Laugh, Love". So much for out sourcing...
Meghan and Kelly came over for burgers, onion rings, fries, and fun. The burgers were so yummy! Mr. D. is an awesome burger maker- if you haven't had one, you should ask him to grill you one!
On a super sad note, Tiffani and I were texting all evening about her boyfriend being MIA. I went to sleep expecting her to call me when she talked to him, unfortunately, tragedy struck and the phone call I received this morning didn't hold the news I was hoping for. You can read the news story here. There is also a video here. If you have time, please go to her blog and offer her some encouragement as she is in a great deal of pain at this time.
We went to be with Tiffani early this morning and stayed until after Tiffani's Aunt arrived. I came home and took a nap. I then took a shower and got dressed up to go to Emma's dance recital. I have never ever been to a dance recital before. I was so very excited. I didn't know where I was going so after 97 days, I drove LOLA for the first time. Here is a picture of me in Lola.
Lola is super fun to drive. She is very sporty and she like to go very fast. She guided me straight to my destination. I was even able to parallel park her fairly easily.
While I was at the recital, I realized that my New Year's resolution started today. My resolution is to be a tourist in my own city. Tonight, I attended the recital in the most historic theater in town. Click here to see for yourself. It was stunning inside.
When I got home from the recital, Mr. D. had prepared a marvelous dinner. He made barbecue chicken on the grill, baby new potatoes and fresh green beans. I was such a wonderful treat. Thanks Mr. D.!!!!
