A fun Saturday night...

Saturday night we were able to get together with our friends to continue our tradition of eating in the "Pope Room" at a local Italian restaurant. Unofficially it was a belated celebration of Paul's birthday, officially it was just a gathering of good food and good friends!!

The Group Shot....sorry for the quality the staff person taking it got a little too far away and I could adjust it to look real good.

Me and my sweetie!!

Kiesha has been wanting to meet "my posse" so I figured no time like the present. She, Mekenzie, and Mekarlie joined us for the evening and I do believe they were all very much entertained.

Avery was very intrigued by Meisey's helmet and when she saw it sitting in the bag she immediately picked it up tried to put it on herself!

The beauty of having our own little area at the restaurant is the kids are not necessarily confined to their chairs. We allow them to get up and walk around the tables and they love exploring.
Avery has found her a little seat while K-man and Aubriana check out the columns.

K-man decided that the party in the next room looked more appealing then all of us so he just made his way right through the opening to their table. Luckily they had 4-5 kids in their group so they were very understanding of the intrusion.

Stylish little Aubriana could not get enough of wearing her mommies sunglasses.

Here is a better group shot but we are missing Gary and the kids (the kids had made a break down the hallway!)

After our dinner we all ventured over to Erin's for dessert, drinks, and a little Wii. We continued to have a lot of laughs, a little dog food eating (we won't mention who), and some rockin' out on the Guitar Hero band. Unfortunately (or fortunately for some) we all neglected to take pictures of that event. Suffice it to say that we can rock when we want to!!

Christie, Anton, and Quint were unable to join us for dinner but they did come over for some socializing!

At some point in the evening we all started talking about the Sit N Spin in the corner and I decided I just had to try it out and see if this ole girl can still spin.

Avery decided the round platform at the top was a perfect place for her to sit! We did actually manage to get a couple of rotations going.

Mekenzie shows us all how it's done with Avery cheering her on!

Thanks guys for a great night!! It is always an experience when we get together isn't it?

We are blessed with a great group of friends.

Thanks for checking in with us!
