Mother's Night Out

I am very blessed to have met a great group of mom's. I was taking Harper to The Little Gym, when I met a mom, who asked me to join her play group. I joined and I have gone to play groups to the pool, mall, and I have done mother's night outs to restaurants, etc. It has been great meeting other moms and their kids too. Last night was fun, one of the mom's, Karen, the birthday girl, organized a make over at Chanel in Saks at the Galleria for 15 of us! After our make overs we then went and ate dinner at Phillippes. Dinner and drinks were great! I had a great time while Brian and Harper had a fun daddy/daughter day out.

Cake, cake, and more cake!!!

Yesterday was Brian's 29th birthday! It's so fun to have a family of Leo's and celebrate everyone's birthday in one month.... NOT! All we have done is eaten cake and gone out to dinner. For Brian's birthday since it was a week day I made him goat cheese stuffed chicken breast with a sun dried tomato sauce and pesto and pine nut spaghetti squash. And creme brûlée cheesecake for dessert. Yummy!!! And this Friday we're going out to eat to Americas with his parents. Food, food, and more food!!!

For our birthday gifts to each other this year we bought toys and we're going to bring them to Texas Children's hospital. We are so blessed to have a beautiful healthy daughter and that's the biggest gift of all and the least we can do is give back.

You Are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine....

Ahhhh!!!! I can't believe Harper is actually one!!!!!! It is so crazy! Her birthday party was fabulous and it actually fell on her real birthday, July 28th. We had about 60 guests, friends, family, co-workers- it was quite a success. It was obviously a "You are my sunshine" theme, and we had it from 10:30-12:30, so we served brunch food. Unfortunately, her daddy was sick, and we just found out Monday he has mono. But luckily, last week Harper and I kept our distance from him, so we didn't get sick. But other than Daddy being sick, the party couldn't have been any better. The guests were amazing, the food was delicious, and Harper got the CUTEST gifts! (Thanks You!!) Thanks to everyone who made Harper's birthday so special! Also, a special thanks to little Jackson who sang to Harper, "You are my sunshine!" It was so cute and sweet!
