Mama/Parker weekend.

Keith took Cecily up to the cabin for the weekend, so Parker & I got to hangout.

First, we had to send Daddy & Cecily a note:

If you don't understand Kindergarten writing, it says:

I hope you are having a great time at the cabin. Love, Parker 

To Daddy and Cecily

Then, we had a Backgammon Tea Party.

Parker loves Backgammon, and he totally killed me.  Next time, I'm playing cutthroat from the beginning.

We also went to Parker's favorite restaurant for dinner (Red Robin)

Parker & I had a great weekend, and I think Keith & Cecily did too, but she was pretty happy to get home to her Mama & big brother.

Look what I found on my camera...Merry Christmas!

I have no explanation for why these were lost for so long, except that I did wake up pretty sick on Christmas morning...

"Mama, can I pack my own lunch?"

Okay, if you insist...

Can I pack Cecily's lunch too?

Ballet Class

On the last day of the ballet session, the parents get to come in the classroom to watch the girls dance.  Parker was SO disappointed that he didn't get to come (it's while he's at school), so I had to video tape about the whole thing for him.

Afterward she was trying to tell me something about one of the girls in her ballet class: "Myla, she's the one who was wearing the pink outfit."

...not super helpful, little one.

Small Group Girl's weekend

We got all the ladies from our small group to go up to the cabin for a weekend.  We went up to Greenbank, walked to Langley, and didn't come close to putting a dent in the ELEVEN bottles of wine we brought up for the 6 of us.

The dads & kids spent a lot of the weekend together also, here's what happens with three moms try to FaceTime with 7 kids...

Ballet

Every once-in-a-while, Cecily lets me pull her hair back and I can see her beautiful face.

She loves practicing her ballet moves.

Lunch at the Club

About once a month, we go have lunch with my Dad at the Mill Creek Country Club.  

Our kids could totally fit in with the "Country Club Set"
