Viva Las Vegas

Lindsay and I headed off to Las Vegas kid free for a few days last week. My parents were brave enough to stay with the girls and give Lindsay and I a break. We had a great time gambling, taking in a couple of shows, catching up with friends Boyd and Wendy Dodder, and best of all sleeping in!!! We were having such a great time that we forgot to take pictures - oops.

Princess Pancake Party

Abi's 3rd birthday was a huge success. We had a great time having all of her friends over for a Princess Pancake Party. Grandma T and Papa Steve were in town to help us celebrate. The weather was beautiful and Abi had a wonderful time with all of her Princess friends.

We were lucky enough to have Grandma T and Papa Steve out to help us with the party. Grandma T arranged all of the beautiful flowers and Papa Steve made all of the yummy pancakes. 

Abi seemed to hover around the cake most of the morning.

Princess Abi can't wait to dive into the cake! 

Princess Coco arrives at the party. Our good friend Delia was kind enough to escort her. 

The Princess Pancake Feast. Papa Steve was kind enough to make all of the pancakes including Mickey Mouse pancakes for each of the girls. 

Oh boy Cinderella dress up clothes - just what Abi wanted! 

Abi is thrilled to get a Curious George doll.

Trip to San Francisco

The four of us headed out to San Francisco last week for a 3 day trip to the city. We were lucky enough to spend two of the days with the Russells. The girls enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa in the city by the bay. Trolley rides, sea lions, monkey store (Paul Frank), China Town, underground train (MUNI), and lots of presents from Grandma and Grandpa were just a few of the things Abi has not been able to stop talking about. Scarlet loved the trolley and can't wait to go back!
