After Harleigh's Christmas performance they had a little party for her class.  Below are some pictures of her and her friends from school.

Ladies Night Jewelry Exchange

I try to have a ladies night party once a year (around Christmas time).  This year we did a jewelry exchange. Thank you Jill for my owl necklace- I love it! 

It's always fun to spend some time with girlfriends - there's alway plenty of laughing, cocktails, and storytelling.  We typically play a game where you write on three pieces of paper, 1 famous person, 1 movie, and 1 song.  Then you split into two teams and there are 3 rounds. The first round you can describe it as much as you want without saying any part of the word, after you go through all the cards, the second round you act it out, and the third round you say one word.  It's fun to see who's creative, who's competitive, who struggles with the game.  It's always good for a laugh!  Below are pictures from this year's Ladies Night Party:

Julia's 2nd Birthday

These are about a month late, but better late than never! Harleigh had a great time at Julia's 2nd Swim & Splash birthday party. The weather ended up being cooler than expected so we didn't swim, but we got to play with the at the water table!  Happy belated birthday, Julia (or "Ulia" as Harleigh calls her)!

Summertime Cookouts with Friends

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is grill out with friends and family.  Over 4th of July weekend we met up with a few friends and got the families together for some fun!!  See pictures below:

Cayden and Sarah

Katelyn Meaney

Ben and baby Addison

Cayden, Harleigh, and Katelyn emjoying Ice Age- apparently they need to be that close to really take it in.

Harleigh LOVED Cayden's chair

I wish I would have taken more pictures, but definitely will next time!

Couples Game Night

We recently had some friends over for appetizers, drinks, and games.  The night ended with a dance party at Cosmo's (unfortunately I forgot my camera for that part)!  Harleigh and Landon stayed at Gigi and Papa's for a slumber party.  It was so much fun to hang out with friends, although a majority of the night was spent talking about kids! ;)  Here are some pictures:
