Great Weekend

We had such a fun weekend, well more I had such a fun weekend but some of the fun included the entire family.  On Friday we went to our friend's Cinco de Mayo party.  They made a delicious taco bar and then we all brought side dishes and dessert.  They also had a pinata for the kids, once it was broken Leila jumped right in and started gathering candy but instead of picking it up she crouched down and started shoveling it under her dress.  I think she enjoyed this pinata the most because for once she was one of the older kids and wasn't being pushed out of the way by older kids. It was a great night with friends and nice to be with Paul before all the crazy test studying started. 

On Saturday I took Leila to her dance class and she met a new friend named Jocey.  When then headed over to the Dekker's for Brig's 3rd birthday party.  We missed the beginning because of the dance class but still made it in time for some of the activities.  Casie did such a good job planning the Cars party and had so many fun games and activities. I think my favorite part was when they handed out little Driver's Licenses for all the kids.

That night I got to go out with some of my girlfriends to celebrate Rylee and Kristine's birthdays and to say goodbye to Melissa.  It seriously was so much fun and couldn't believe we didn't get home until around 11:30.  We went to dinner at Pei Wei and then headed down to the Strip to have dessert at Serendipity.  I got their famous frozen hot chocolate, which was so delicious! We talked and talked and had tons of laughs.

I seriously love all these girls, they have made me feel so welcome and have made living away from family such a wonderful experience.  I don't know what I would do without them!

Then of course Sunday was great because it was Mother's Day!  I got to sleep in, have a delicious breakfast in bed, recieved a new Flip video camera, my house was cleaned (by Paul), a super yummy dinner was made by Paul, we all took a 2 1/2 hour nap, I recieved a lemon bundt cake (young women were having a fundraiser and Paul ordered one for me) which was sooo good, I didn't have to do the dishes once durning the day and then I got a relaxing massage and to curl up and watch a movie before bed.  I was seriously spoiled I have such a wonderful husband and kids!

So that pretty much sums up my wonderful weekend, I just wish all weekends could be this great!
