Girls Night Out...For Me and Linda's Birthdays!!!

The girls from work wanted to take Linda and I out for our birthdays because they fall so close together.  My 33rd birthday fell on the 6th and her 47th birthday fell on the 13th so we decided to do a girls night out on Friday the 10th to split the difference!  We went to a quaint little Cuban/Mediterranean restaurant called Mama Roomba and everything we ordered was FABULOUS!!!  It was a really nice night with good company!

Happy 33 To Me...Cheers!!!

It's my birthday and Mom and I decided to go have dinner (and drinks) at Chili's to celebrate!  Gotta say dinner was good and the company was GREAT!  Thanks Mom.

Carter's 3rd Birthday @ "My Gym"!!!

Last year Sherry and Matt held Carter's 2nd birthday party at a cute little place called My Gym and it had gone so well they decided to do it again for his 3rd!

Grandma Audrey's 80th Birthday!!!

Grandma Audrey's 80th birthday was on January 14th, 2012 and a party was thrown for her at Uncle Steve's house.  I was unable to attend so Sherry took a bunch of photos and I "stole" these off of her blog.

HHS Dual Retirement Party!

Laurie Ceccarelli and Jeffrie Young are retiring from Highland High School after years and years of service so we all put together a lunchtime potluck party for both of them.  We invited folks from our admin, from the district office and even their families!  It was a great turn out and everyone had a good time...there were mini speeches, hugs, laughs, and even a few tears!  They will be missed, but we wished them many of  relaxing and enjoyable retirement years!!! 

Preserving Childhood Memories On Paper!!!

Sherry and I went over to this gal's house and we got Carter's foot printed for his "Piggies & Paws" creation.  It was such a cool experience and we were able to look through her sample book and were inspired!  We decided that between the two of us we could come up with enough friends and co-workers with young children to make the party worthwhile!  The more orders we got the more free merchandise Sherry could get!  It was a really FUN event!

Carter's footprint...the beginning!  It will later be creatively dressed up like a little boy angel similar to the example below (except it's was made up to be a girl)

Sherry is 30...Happy Birthday!!!

Matt planned a big surprise party for Sherry's 30th birthday at Don Perico's restaurant.  It was really nice, he rented out the back room and it was catered buffet style.  He did a lot of leg-work and had invited family, friends, and co-workers.  There was a really good turnout because we really did fill the room!  For her gift Mom and I went in on it together and made her a "30" pinata filled with some novelty items, candy, and a bunch of gift cards to places she likes to go (like Kohls, Cold Stone Creamery, Love Nails Salon etc.) and we topped off with some fun balloons!  I babysat Carter that afternoon so Sherry and Matt could have a date night (wink, wink) that way I could bring him to the restaurant for the surprise!  It went off super smoothly, almost everybody that RSVP'd showed up on time and when Sherry walked in with Matt she was genuinely surprised!  Matt did good and it was a fun party!
