Happy 2nd Birthday Julianne!

 Our baby has become two years old! We had a fun day celebrating with her. In the morning we went to the store and she picked out a cute princess balloon and then we went to McDonald's for lunch. She was much more interested in playing than eating.

After her nap we played outside and Brinley decided to give these "lovelies" to Julianne for her birthday. Both gross and sweet at the same time.

Then we had a little get together, with some good friends, to have cake and ice cream.

I have to say that Julianne's cake looks nothing short of pathetic. I really did have the best of intentions to make a cute Rapunzel cake, but it just did not end up happening.

Lucky for me I was the only one who cared.(It sure did taste good though).

After cake we had Julianne open presents. My mom and dad came a while back and got her a cute new bike, but sadly we do not have a picture of it yet. But she also got a new play dough set, princess figures and a Rapunzel doll with matching dress up for her (that she is wearing).  She loved it all!

We sure LOVE this girl. Happy Birthday!

Titanic Party

So we have the sweetest, most fun apartment managers ever! After living in many apartments, since being married, I'm just totally amazed at how generous and giving this office staff is. They let us make as many colored copies as we want, send and receive faxes, rent movies, provide areas for anyone who wants to plant a garden and throw amazing parties!

On Saturday they invited all the residents to a Titanic remembrance night. They had the club house decorated as if you were a first class passenger having dinner in the grand ballroom. It was so pretty!

When everyone first arrived we had appetizers and visited. Then our "captain" had us all go out onto the balcony and "Bon Voyage."


I must say it felt very authentic overlooking the swimming pool and "life" boat.
Then we came inside and they served us a thirteen course, first class dinner. No lie it was really thirteen courses.

Here was our table. The Hintize, the Cheany's and Southwicks. So fun that everyone dressed up!
They even went as far as researching real life first class passengers and giving everyone their names for the night. Greg and I went as Mr and Mrs William Ernest Carter. I did a little research on them and it turns out they both lived! Yay! But what was even more interesting is that they were residents of PA in Bryn Mawr, which was only like 20 minutes from where we lived!
And what Titanic party would be complete without a Titanic cake? I love the glob of white cake as the iceberg.
It was a really fun night!
