Wine and Cupcakes

...two of my favorite things! Thursday, March 29th the Meredith College Young Alumnae Board hosted a Cupcake and Wine spring social at Cafe’ Caturra in Cameron Village. We got to enjoy a complimentary cupcake from GiGi’s cupcakes and glass of wine from Cafe’ Caturra. But the best part was spending time with some of my favorite girls!



Steel Magnolias

My friend, Julia, asked me to go with her to see the play Steel Magnolias one Friday night. This movie is probably in the top 5 of my all time favorite movies so I jumped at the chance. :)





The play was fantastic! It all took place in Truvy's beauty shop, which I wondered how they could tell the whole story that way and the fact there were only 6 actresses, but they did, and they did it very well.

Ballet Recital

This afternoon is Grace's ballet recital dress rehearsal! A few weeks ago their had their dance portraits taken and we just got them back last week. Here's Grace's photos:



One with her classmates:


I snapped the following photo on my phone the day these portraits were taken:


Their routine is to the song, Baby Beluga! So excited to see how dress rehearsal goes today! :) Maybe I can snag a video!

Birthday party #3

We had a small birthday party at home the night of Grace's birthday with just Grace, Scott, and I. After supper we had left over Dora cupcakes and she opened her presents from us! :)

Birthday Party #2

On the morning of Grace's birthday we woke up at Bulls Bay early and headed to Raleigh so she could make it to school. :) Here's the first photo I snapped of her on her birthday, still in her pj's, in the car!



I stopped at Food Lion on the way there and got some colorful cupcakes for her to take to school and share with her friends. The Dora and Boots toppers I found at Party City and stuck them in before going inside. She also had Dora dessert plates and napkins to share with her friends too!



My big THREE year old!
