This pats weekend I got to sneak away to NC to visit with Kristen and a slew of other great friends for the weekend. It was SO great and energizing to see everyone and hang out like old times. It certainly made me miss that area and all the things there are to do.
I began my mini-vacation by taking the day off Friday. It was a beautiful morning which led to me getting to bask in the sun in our sunny backyard and read a good book (or two) with the puppy girls.
But not everyone is made for the sunshine. Little gal needed a pair of sunglasses for sure.
The Little Black Dog soaks up the sun so well with me! She doesn't ever leave my side when we sit outside together.
Part of my visit was with one of my favorite babies! She's grown so much since her mommy and daddy's visit a few weeks ago and it wasn't too long ago I was hosting her mommy's baby shower. Wait, what? Slow down time!
Nothing says laughter like catching up with my NC State pals from my job there a few years ago (Tory not picture sadly!) The three of us catching up was such a flash back to old times. All we were missing were Abbie and Amber Rae and the rest of the gang.
This brings me to the real motivation behind my trip south-theme party. Kristen hosted a St. Patrick's Day party at her house which had us scrambling for the perfect last minute party attire. Apparently Old Navy dumps their holiday shirts when you really need them (we tried TWO!) but I stumbled upon a party store in Raleigh and scored this headband and Kristen a princess tiara that said "Irish Princess"
Three lucky charm cheers for these lucky charm treats Kristen made.
So much (delicious) green food:
Best news of all was that Kristen (of course) had a competition and I am proud to say Team Irish By Nature brought home 1st place. Just throwing it out there that these two are pretty good at games. One should probably go on a national tv game show with Jane Lynch or something :)
It was a GREAT weekend with this party host, complete with Disney sing-a-longs and long conversations about whether its normal to not have a favorite color. (It is).
