One more celebration

 My girls wanted to do something fun for my birthday.  Originally we talked about going away for a weekend.  But Heather is pregnant, the timing was bad with it falling around Thanksgiving and we all said, it's not the prettiest time to get away.

So, we decided we would just stay at a hotel in town, and do a little shopping around here.  Then covid struck again, things were being closed down., and we knew that wouldn't work well either.

So, they decided to have a sleep over at our house!  Laura planned some activities and picked up food for supper and some yummy treats for later in the evening.

They both arrived around 5 and we started by having some really good supper from one of our favorite places.

Then it was time for some crafting.

Laura had gotten supplies and instructions to make farmhouse style ornaments using wooden beads, twine, wooden disks...

Here's Heather hard at work.

And Laura giving me the - "quit taking pictures Mom" look.  :)      (funny - I get that same look from her daughters!)

Here Laura tried something a little different and it didn't work.  We did a lot of laughing!

Here's the finished products!

Then it was time for some dessert.  It was so good, but we were soooo full!

The next part of the evening involved pampering.  We had manicure gloves, pedicure socks and facial masks.  There may have been a photo taken of me with a mask on, but it was too bad!  There was a lot of laughter during this process too, especially when we all traipsed in on Bob to show him what we were up too.

Then we stayed up for a while, talked, laughed some more, watched HGTV and went to bed around midnight.

We had a nice breakfast together and Laura left about 10:30, Heather hung around because Andrew came over to work on the crib again.

It was a special time, and I really think this was better than staying at a hotel or taking a weekend trip.  Time together with just the two of them is not easily done and I enjoyed every minute of it!
