Catching up from the weekend

Dallas was put to sleep in his big boy bed, in his room every night last week...except the weekend. It's hard to stay on a schedule and a routine on the weekend. We are going nonstop and this mama is worn out at night!! So, tonight is back to his room. We had such an incredible weekend. I picked my Aunt Niece up from the airport Saturday afternoon. She came in for Dallas' 2nd birthday party and we wanted to surprise my Mom! It was perfect! Mom had no clue, and I even managed to keep it from my two besties (who were also surprised!) Saturday afternoon was spent by us girls preparing food for Dallas' party the next day. I have to admit I am SO blessed to have two of the very best friends on earth!! They keep me grounded, listen to my shenanigans and love me unconditionally! I don't know what I would do without them!! I don't tell you as often as I should but, I love you girls!! Saturday night, Lance took Destiny and Arielle to the Daddy/Daughter dance. They danced the night away, came home with shirts and prizes! I cant wait to get the group pic they take every year. I love looking at how much the girls have grown!

Dallas and I enjoyed dinner with the Poe's, my Mom, Aunt Niece, and the little Smith's at Saltgrass steakhouse, YUM!! Sunday was birthday party day!! Destiny, Arielle and I made the sandwiches while Lance and Dallas packed the car. I was ready to display my creativity at the park, no such luck! It was absolutely PERFECT weather for an outside birthday party, but far too windy for my little paper products. I had to just leave them in the car! I was disappointed, but I just wanted to enjoy the day with my Son and our friends and family! We had a bounce house at the park, and some snack food...mostly things The Very Hungry Caterpillar eats in the book. Our day was perfect in every way, and I couldn't be more pleased. Dallas opened TONS of presents! He thinks everyone of them is a car though. He did seem very thankful, and was ecstatic to finally get toys out of the boxes at home!! Our evening was spent putting gifts away and washing dishes while Dallas napped. I did decorate a small area with the items not displayed at his party...simply for my own pleasure and enjoyment! All in all, we had a fantastic weekend! We are blessed beyond belief and I am so thankful for every day I spend on this earth with the most amazing people!
