We celebrated the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 with some fun friends and neighbors who really know how to have a good time.
Thankfully, Lovie and Papa kept the kiddos for the night and had their own little celebration complete with sparkling cider, noisemakers and silly string.
We spent the next few days of our holiday vacation putting the house back to "normal" (if there is such a thing for us), shooting hoops on the basketball goal Santa brought us, and enjoying some low-key family time.
Before school started again, Hayes was invited to have "tea with the queen" at Lovie's with Greer. The girls had a blast playing princess and using their best manners just like the book that Lovie had given them.

If you have a little girl in your life and have not heard about this book, I encourage you to check it out. Lovie gave it to the Hayes and Greer for their 3rd birthdays and included a handwritten invitation to have tea with her. It was seriously one of the cutest things I've ever seen and I have to say, those were some lucky little girls that day!
Even their Pinkalicious dolls got to attend the party!
As for me, I can finally breathe now that the annual event I plan every year, Staxtacular, is complete. I am thrilled with the results of another successful event to support such a worthy organization, the Stax Music Academy, but am excited to also be opening my Adoorables business back up again. I have a home show in my neighborhood this week and have been busy preparing for that. I continue to feel blessed to be able to have plenty of orders just from word of mouth.....that Etsy was killing me!
P came up to Memphis for Valentine's Day weekend, and let Adam and I have a night on the town.
Though we had lofty aspirations to head downtown, we ended up going to the country club for a quiet dinner, which was so nice! It's a good thing we had a minute to relax and prepare for the chaos that awaited us at home. Gray had the norovirus and we were greeted with a very sick little boy and lots of red velvet cupcake vomit all over the floor as soon as we walked in the door. He was a pitiful little thing, but bounced back pretty quickly, thank goodness! He's a trooper!
That's all for now!
