All of this in ONLY 2 hours!

Lauren really liked the decorations and was showing me how "huge" they were. The hats kind of match her shirt style too!

Last Saturday Lauren and I went to The Junior League of Chicago's, A Family Affair. Aunt Stephanie is a member and was kind enough to purchase tickets for Lauren and myself as a Mother's Day present. What an adventure we had! Here's a list of everything we enjoyed in just two short hours. I knew we were both having a great time when we were there, but didn't realize everything we did until we came home and told Geoff all about it.

- Met Elmo
- Twisted and decorated a pretzel
- Planted a flower
- Played games
- Lauren had a gorgeous butterfly painted on her hand
- Met Snow White
- Decorated and ate a cookie
- Listened to Jeannie B and her band
- Made a frog puppet
- Enjoyed a delicious pizza lunch
- Created trail mix
- Learned how to drink out of a water bottle
- Received a giraffe balloon animal
- Listened to stories

Then when we arrived home, we spent at least another hour checking out all the great products that were in the gift bag. Thanks Aunt Stephanie for such a fun-filled day!

Lauren loves playing with her new giraffe friend. In this photo she was "smiling like a princess," while showing him to the camera.
