On Thursday night I hosted a girls night in to celebrate Adelle's birthday. Adelle summed up the night best in her status update: "Blessed by my sweetest of girlfriends tonight for my birthday! We laughed and cried and made fun of The Notebook, and ate some de-lish food... " My other girlfriend Lindsey wrote "Is grateful to be able to go through life alongside other mamas...I can't imagine feeling alone in the ups and downs of motherhood. I know it is stating the obvious, but "The Body of Christ" was a good idea."
It is so true- I can't imagine not having these women in my life... it is such a blessing to be able to be real with each other about the struggles and joys of parenting, marriage, friendships, etc. It is so easy to watch women from a far (or through blogs) and assume that they are doing things better than you, or their kids or happier or more advanced than yours, or their marriage is just that much closer than yours, but these women keep me grounded in realizing that we all fall short, but through because of God's grace in our lives we can keep going. Anyway, i'll get off my friend soap box now :) I didn't take any pics, but here's a couple pictures taken a few weeks ago at a play date.
On Thursday during the day, Colter and I met Ben for lunch as this super tasty restaurant, potbelly. After lunch, we ventured over to the Fairmont hotel to check out the teddy bear suite. It was so cool (and an added bonus that we were the only ones in there!)
Saturday night we got together with our neighbors for the annual viewing of Christmas vacation. I seriously will never tire of that movie. "Why is the carpet wet Todd?" "I don't KNOW Margo!" hahaha
One more week to go and still lots of activities to do!
