Randy and Brad went deer hunting this weekend so Claire and I spent the weekend in Salt Lake.
Friday night was Tori's birthday. We went to dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate. Afterward we went to see Odyssey Dance Company's Thriller at Kingsbury Hall. It was amazing as usual.
After the show we went to the Cheesecake Factory for some celebratory cheesecake. I love celebrating. It should be Tori's birthday everyday!!!
Saturday my mom, Tori, and my friend Kristen May went to Ikea. A trip to SLC would not be complete without getting lost in that store.
Then we headed to Gardner Village to see the witches. Claire was obsessed with the one that shakes her booty. She could have stayed there all day. My mom was baby sitting Aaron's cute kids Corbin and Jacob and Krisin brought here little girl Elle. It took all four of us women to keep us all together. It was fun.
Dream on girls...
Saturday night was rainy cold and stormy. My mom bought bread bowls the size of our heads. The bakery had JUST taken them out of the oven. On the way home I opened the box at least a dozen times to sniff them. My mom kept slapping my hands. OH baby they smelled so good. My sister Julie bought stuff to decorate cupcakes for the kids. Claire had to taste test everything.
The candy teeth is a must with candy corns.
Claire's favorite part was the hot tub. She loves getting in with Papa Moose. Don't they look miserable??
After dinner and putting the kids to bed, we played Balderdash. I have not laughed that hard in a long time. It got to the point that I thought I was going to barf. I tried describing it to Randy when I got home. It didn't sound as funny then. It was one of those had to be there moments.
The next day we went to Eric and Natalie's ward. There girls had their primary program. It was cute. I can't believe all our kids are getting so old and grown up.
Mom made a really good dinner then it was time to say goodbye. I hate goodbye....
....but boy I missed my Bradley and Randy.

Okay- I seriously need to go to the Cheescake Factory sometime- That cake looks so delicious. Glad that you had a fun time with the girls! You are so lucky to have family close.
What a fun weekend! It's so fun for the girls to get away! I swear that Claire gets cuter every time I see a picture of her.... seriously, what a DOLL (just like her mom)! And that picture, just might convince me to finally go the Cheesecake Factory! YUM!
I wish it was my birthday every day too! :) Thanks for the fun night, and Saturday was great. It made me miss you! I have a love-hate relationship with Cache Valley.
That picture of the cheesecake seriously made my mouth water! Girls time seriously sounds nice!
No wonder you miss living close to your family! They are so much fun!
Hunting weekend next year.....please keep me in mind. I like cheesecake. And your family.
Awesome weekend! It was so good to see you on Sunday too! Next time you come down we'll need to get all the moms together and do a huge play date!
Jenn, I want more weekends like this one. It was fun, and the laughing was very therapeutic. You are right, the bread bowls and soup were fantastic. There are moments I miss having all my children home with me, and then when it gets loud and crazy, I'm glad I am an "empty nester". You need to come home more. Lisa really is cutting out our pictures and putting her's in your place. Be careful!
I want to come and play with the girls. I sure miss your mom and you I always love going to their home with our kiddos. Such good times:)
