A Party Filled Weekend!

Mom in her Miss America Crown

Miss America and the Super Bowl...it doesn't get much better than that. On Saturday, we had the annual Miss America Party at my house. Shannon flew in from California just for the event. We kept the party small with just Shannon, her mom Carol, my mom, Hayley, Gracie, and me. We had scones, egg salad sandwiches, and as tradition goes...cheesecake. It was a wonderful time to catch up on the old neighborhood gossip, hear Shannon's baby news, and celebrate her birthday. Miss America its self was sort of a dissappointment. They changed the entire show and wasn't as much fun as usual. The other dissappointment of the night...I forgot to get a picture of the three of us or the entire party for that matter. But it was wonderful to see old friends and be together for the evening.

Gracie and Braden's Idea of a Super Bowl Party

Party #2- Super Bowl XLII. Mom hosted this party and it was great. Food, food and more food. Tacos, chips and dip, punch, and more. The game was great as well, but we just like to get together. The kids played and built towers, had food, and threw balls. The game was exciting and the Giants pulled through. What a wonderful day to be together and enjoy two wonderful things...family and mom's cooking. Thanks for a wonderful party mom!
