Grown Ups' Weekend!

I had a full schedule of events this weekend. It was so much fun! Not that I don't love spending my days off with my kiddos, but having plans to get out and dressed up is always exciting.


First, I attended a baby shower for my beautiful friend, Julie. She and her husband are expecting their first - a baby boy! I'm sorry I didn't bring my camera, so have no pictures to share. It was at this swanky restaurant downtown and was so much fun to see her just glowing with excitement.
Then, Saturday night was Rob's Company Holiday Party at the Chicago History Museum. What a fantastic venue! And we had the best time being out on the town. Thanks to Mama Diane & Papa Bede for babysitting the munchkins for us!


And then today, my sister-in-law, Kari, put together a little birthday surprise for her mom - Afternoon Tea at the historic Drake Hotel! What a treat - us girls had a fabulous time socializing and enjoying our champagne, scones and sandwhiches. Happy early Birthday to you, Diane!

Such a beautiful setting there, complete with a live harpist. And thank you, Kari, for putting together this fun afternoon!
