Party Weekend.
Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 9:37AM And what a weekend it was....
Cheers!
We celebrated two birthdays this past weekend. My good friend Kirsty{oh...make that 3....she had a joint party with her Husband....they were both the big 3.0.} and sister-in-law Mel. I found the weekend exhausting, but in a fun way. We got to drink wine, eat cake, laugh, celebrate & partay!
Saturday night; my parents came up to our place & stayed the night. This meant Chris & I could go to Kirsty & Brad's party...CHILDFREE!!!! Our first 'date' since Ryder was born....5 months ago! It was so nice {even though we were both stuffed by 11pm! haaa} I got to wear heels, my hair down & makeup :) I even got to wear chunky jewellery...knowing that no baby {swiper} hands were going to rip them from me :) It was karaoke.....and although we heard some terrible, TERRIBLE singing....we had a BLAST!
Chris & I...all spunked up on date night :)
The Birthday Girl & I.
And although it was fabulous to have a night off from being 'Mummy & Daddy', it was also pretty tootin' nice to come home & see this gorgeous face....
We had a big breakfast cookup with Mum & Dad on Sunday morning to say thanks for the night out :) And then enjoyed a birthday lunch with the Chadwick's!
Mel is totally rocking being 40.....40 & I fabulous I say:
Come Sunday evening, we were all pretty tired. But ended the weekend with plenty of cuddles:
Daddy's boy!
And a neighbourhood walk {Ella's request} which was kind of lovely....
I love our new neighbourhood.
Sorry ducks....Hurricane Ella swept through your parts of the hood.
And the new week kicked off pretty well too. Yesterday, Ella was catching the train into the City with Grandma & Grampy to go to the museum :) To say she was excited is an understatement!! After dropping her off at Mum & Dad's....Ryder & I stopped in at the local beach for some fresh salty sea air! It was a perfect, peaceful 20mins with my boy:
It's Tuesday morning now. I pulled a late nighter doing tax paperwork {just for a good time}, then was up approximately 3 thousand times with Mr R, but scored an 8am sleep-in :) We're just about to head up to the forest for a picnic when Miss Ella arrives back home. Life is good.
Happy week all.
