I am blushing over here! I realized that it has been a whole week and a half since I posted! *Slaps wrist!* I have had so much going on that my
time and brain has just gone poof! I have several tutorials to write and even a big post with tutorials for quick and easy baby shower gifts so stay tuned for those. Also I have the recap of our Catalina Trip, it was such a blast! All this and more will be coming soon! I promise.
Until then, I thought I would update you on my weekend shenanigans. I (me myself and I) drove up to Fresno/Coarsgold this weekend for a birthday bash celebrating our God-daughter who turned 2 in January and our niece's 1st birthday on the 23rd. D had to work so unfortunately could not make the journey with me. (Which would have been nice to have him there when I got stuck in 25 minutes worth of stopped traffic on the Grapevine, but I digress.) Once I arrived safely I was welcomed with open arms by my cousin's and little Charlotte. We conversed for a couple of hours then it was bedtime. I went to set up the air mattress (a new one that I borrowed from my mom) and Charlotte came bounding in the room and on top of it. She started jumping on it like it was a bounce house and it was thoroughly entertaining.

Saturday we woke and had to get 8 people ready for the party before noon. Not an easy feat considering 4 of the 8 were children under the age of 6. We managed, picked up the cake and made our way to my aunt and uncles for the joint party. It was Winnie the Pooh themed, with honey flavored snacks. I forgot how good Honeycomb cereal was and gladly munched on that all afternoon, even after my lunch of lasagna, garlic bread and salad.....we are Italian...we eat carbs! Yummo! Maggie slept away most of her party and mom finally woke her up to have cake. She was quite unsure about her hunny pot cupcake, but finally figured it out and dove face first into it! The parents opened gifts and I held Miss Maggie just playing with her until she needed another cat nap.

After all the party guests left. My cousins and I decided to play some cards. My grandfather taught a friend of A.J.'s how to play cribbage and I played gin with my other cousin Matt while talking to his girlfriend, and eating Honeycomb of course! We left around 11pm, dropped off his friend and had a great evening of laughter watching Dane Cook on Netflix. I forgot how funny he was and we were all rolling around on the ground holding our stomachs with barely any sound coming out.
Sunday we awoke and just enjoyed the morning and early afternoon together. I packed up around 2:30 and said my goodbyes. It's always sad to leave family, but we made plans to try and get together more often and definitely in July to go to Mammoth. New lake trip to plan! Yay! It was nice to come home to D and the little miss. I did miss him a lot, even though it was only 48 hours!
Hope all of you in blogger land had a wonderful weekend!
