Jackie's 30th Birthday Celebration

Happy 30th Birthday Jackie!!

I honestly still can't believe that we are all turning 30 this year!  I know I have a baby but sometimes I  just don't feel like a "grown up."

Saturday was Jackie's 30th birthday and party.  Her awesome husband, Andy, threw her a great party with lots of yummy food!!  I made cole slaw and dirt for the party and I really wish that I took some photos so I could share the recipes.  I tend to make both of those things a lot so I will definitely share next time!!

We had such a great time celebrating!  I love my friends!!

A photo shoot with my adorable nephew, Kyle!

He was directing what kinds of faces we were supposed to be making.

These are some of my favorites!!  

I certainly hope girls don't require as much running around as boys do!!  He really tired me out!!

Jackie's equally pretty and delicious birthday cake!

(It made a pretty great breakfast the next morning!  Thanks for the leftovers!)

The night ended with Kyle opening Jackie's presents!  

She loved her Rebecca Minkoff mini mac from me and Alise!

Jackie - Hope you had a great 30th and that all your birthday wishes come true!!  Love you!!

Weekend Recap: Celebrations

Finally getting to my weekend recap!  This past weekend was so busy, it flew by so quickly.  I feel like I blinked and it was Monday.

Friday we took off from work to head down to Philadelphia for my friend from college, Troy's wedding.  As always, the drive took way longer than it should have.  We arrived just in time to get ready/dressed and head to the shuttle.  The wedding was absolutely beautiful and it was so good to see some of my college friends.  We had lots of fun reminicing and celebrating the happy couple.

The ceremony took place with a really pretty view of the city in the background.  

The wedding programs were so adorable!  They had lots of cute details and little touches all throughout the wedding.  She definitely spent some time on Pinterest!!

Hannah stayed with my mom and her Aunt Emily!  My aunts and cousins came to visit and they had a little girl's night (plus AJ)!

Here is a picture they sent me in the afternoon.

Saturday morning we headed back from Philly.  After another long drive we got home in time to rest briefly and then get ready again for a celebration dinner for Alise.  We went to a really great dinner at a new restaurant in town.

For being out so close to her bedtime with very little napping that day, Hannah was such a good girl!  She loves to be out!  She also had her very first restaurant spill (first of many if she is anything like her mommy!)  She was sitting on my lap and somehow knocked over my water.  I guess I shouldn't have been surprised she reaches and tries to touch everything.  I put a piece of pretzel in my plate and her little hand was on it faster than I could catch it!!

Sunday we were planning on a productive day but Michael got a migraine first thing in the morning and before I knew it, it was 7PM and I was still in my pajamas and nothing on our list got done.

I only managed to take one picture.  Hannah was in her bumbo watching a little TV in the morning while Michael rested.

I did manage to get some great video of Hannah on Friday morning before we left for the wedding of her jumping and doing a lot of "talking."  It was the most noise I have ever heard her make.  Unfortunately it is still sitting on our camera, so hope to share some of that soon.  I will work on getting some pictures of all the new things she is doing.  She is dying to be on the move.  She has started to go backwards and it is just a matter of time before she figures out how to go forwards (and then Michael turns into a baby proofing crazy person!)
