Life's A Party

And party we have...

Thank goodness Briana is feeling better because we have been BUSY!

Thursday, my mom came over to visit, and she, Briana and I went out for a ladies lunch and a little shopping. We did little decoration shopping for my sister's future baby shower - so much fun! And we finally got Briana to wear the Steak and Shake hat!

Then Friday, Briana and I headed over to Lisa and Maisie's house for a playdate with Deb and Li Li, Orla and Rachel, Brandy and Zoe and Theresa. We had a great time! Briana did have a little fall and she didn't hit anything, but she did manage to bite her lip on the way down. Blood started to come out of her mouth. I actually remained very calm. I have been told that blood coming from the mouth usually looks worse than it is, and I also didn't want to freak Briana out by being upset. She does have a little cut on her upper lip, but the bleeding stopped almost immediately - thank goodness.

After the playdate, I drove down the street for a surprise visit to my former place of employment to visit my former co-workers/friends. It was great seeing the girls again (sorry I missed you Linda!).

Saturday, we attended the local China adopters potluck at Trixie's house. It was a St. Patrick's Day theme. It was great seeing everyone and all the little ones, and Trixie's house was just lovely! Thanks for having us!

And finally Sunday, we attended at birthday party for our friends Mark and Alison's daughter Ashlyn who turned six. What a beautiful day for a party! They had a horse come to their house so the kids could have horse rides. We tried to get Briana to wear the hat that you need to put on to ride the horse, but she would have none of that. So, she just petted it! She had a blast (especially because she got to eat some vanilla ice cream)!

We are tired from our very busy last couple of days (to say the least). So, we are taking it very easy this week!
