Thursday, August 24th was a party all day long! In the morning Chuck* and I finally got to talk with our relocation specialist to get the ball rolling with our move, then the girls and I headed out to Mrs. B.'s house for a couple hours, then we drove straight to Lauren's house for an end of summer party. That night Natalie and I went on a special friend date with her best buddy Emma. More on that later . . . Needless to say, we were feeling very loved and happy that day!
My good friend Elizabeth hosted an end of summer party at her new beautiful home. She always has the best parties and makes it so fun for the kids. I just love her so much and think she is so amazing. She makes the girls feel so special. We had a wonderful time - as usual!!
I always bring my nicer camera to Elizabeth's parties because she goes all out and makes everything look so cute. (o:

This picture captures what I LOVE about Lauren. She has such enthusiasm and zest for life. Ever since she was a baby she has done everything with so much gusto! Even the scrapes on her face show you what kind of girl she is. She was running around and looking at something else and crashed right into one of her friends! She probably saw something that was really cool, but didn't want to stop running while she admired it! (o: She always says the sweetest exclamations. Elizabeth was telling me that earlier in the week they had a clogged toilet. She told Lauren not to use that bathroom until she got it fixed. The next morning Elizabeth told Lauren that mommy fixed the potty so she could use it again. Lauren told her "Good job mommy! That's so great!" Like she had just won a trip to Disneyland. (O: What a sweetheart.

Sarah loves Lauren's parties!
Look at Sarah in the background while Natalie swings! Does she have some trust issues?
Bobbing for apples!
Jensen got one! It was really hard to do! I think she was one of the only ones who actually did it!
Sarah got a piece of an apple rather than the whole thing!

I just love and adore these two ladies. How did I get so lucky to have such amazing and talented and fun and loving friends? I am so grateful for them and I am always happy when we are together. Good friends bring out the best in you and that exactly the kind of friends Elizabeth and Angie are to me. Love you gals!
