POOL TIME with my girls, raiding kim's CANDY JAR,
SONIC STOP for beverages,
MANIS and PEDIS, lunch at SMASHBURGER, and amazing PRESENTS (check out the vintage YSL apron).

and.... that was just the day celebration!

that night we played SAND VOLLEYBALL and celebrated with all of our friends, and then headed to MOJO FROZEN YOGURT on mill avenue where we sat and talked forever.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO MADE MY DAY SO AWESOME.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl

I had Spring Break a few weeks ago and I took the week off work and headed to DC
to play with my friend Chareese for the week.
Let's just say I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

lots of diet coke with a splash of dr. pepper with chips and salsa at Rio Grande

we discovered Pinkberry in Virginia and made 2 trips there

(chareese might kill me for posting these pics)

my sad face over my pinkberry being gone

my first temple session at the DC temple with 2 of my favorite people

Georgetown cupcakes, lunch at Rio Grande, all with my lifelong friend Tracie and her kiddos
(Eliza and I with our cupcakes)

Last night there doing my favorite thing: walking around the monuments at night with new friends.


It was an amazing week with more pics to come.
sleeping, eating, treats, museums, movies, girl talk, no stress, shopping, seeing my favorite nanny family from DC, and plenty of laughing.
