Here is Cleo standing near the sign for her party. Such a cute little birthday princess. Cleo's party was a great success and she and her princess pals had a great time.
Me smiling because Sidney is being such a big boy and making his own bracelet.
This is a picture of Brayden, Cleo's frenemy in daycare. Brayden is Cleo's co-valedictorian for their graduation. Then, Cleo, Kaelin and Sidney eating candy from his goody bag.
Cleo and Kaelin making their jewelry and Roger helping.
Cleo's crazy awesome cake. It had chocolate cake inside. Around 1/2 was left over after the party and I probably ate 2/3 of that 1/2. Roger ate a little. Cleo and Sidney do not love cake - they will eat a little for special occasions. Sidney prefers my Weight Watchers Smart Ones ice cream sundaes. Cleo always prefers candy, e.g., Skittles, Nerds or Sweet Tarts.
Colorful group shot.
Family photo with Sidney being characteristically uncooperative.
After the party, we went back to the house and Cleo opened some gifts. Sidney had a few to open and Kaelin had a few to open too. Now, Cleo and Kaelin have 2 sets of matching pjs to wear while we are in Disney World April 18-22. Ahnya got Sidney a little back pack and small zippered coin purse with Thomas and Friends diesel trains on them. Sidney was very happy. After their naps, Cleo opened the rest of her booty. She was very happy with all of her gifts. This weekend, I will write the thank you cards.
Sunday we relaxed around the house. Saturday night, Kaelin stayed over with us - she slept with Cleo. Robin came and picked Kaelin up around noon and they headed to FL around 1pm. The kids took naps. We then had dinner at Ruby Tuesday. We stayed local because Cleo wasn't feeling 100%.
My dad and Ahnya returned to NYC on Monday. I was so sad when they left. But Ahnya will be back for Cleo's May 24 graduation and I hope my dad comes for my birthday.
Friday, March 16, we celebrated Ahnya's birthday at Cafe Sunflower. It's the best restaurant in Atlanta. They have the best chocolate cake on the planet. They always bring it out refrigerated but it tastes SO much better at room temperature. Ahnya and I try to resist eating it at the restaurant but we invariably eat more than half then and only have a little to eat later when it's warmer and much more awesome.
I have been making wise choices about eating and am still within 2 pounds of my goal weight. I attended a Weight Watchers meeting today. I am so happy. It hasn't been easy. I haven't exercised in a week but will get back on track on Sunday. I am not exercising on Saturday because during the kids' naps I am going to see Hunger Games. I cannot wait.
