Jenna & Seth Birthday Weekend!

A Seth & Jenna weekend invasion at the Reese's! Actually this year we thought that since we do not get entirely enough time with our amazing niece and nephew that an idea of having them come for a weekend of celebrating their birthday's was born. We had so much fun, look out Mom & Dad, we're hoping to do this again next year, and the year after, etc.....

One of the many adventures we embarked upon during this weekend, a meal at Conner's favorite restaurant, Space Aliens. Above is a shot of some of the "loot" they walked away with after playing games for tickets.
With all the tickets he earned (around 150 I think) Conner chooses this plastic pirate eye patch for 20 points and leaves the rest for his sister, he's done! That was easy!

The three musketeers took much longer to decide.......

Seth playing games....

Conner at a fish game, no surprise there...

They had some luck with this one...

The "girls" side of the booth....

The rowdy boys side.....

We stopped by Mommy's office building since it's close to our next stop Charming Charlie's.. this was taken in the atrium in the middle of the building...

A little about CC, it's a jewelry extravaganza! Easily one of my favorite places with chandiliers decorating the celing along with a ton of beautifully displayed, jewelry, purses, scarves, sandals and much much more! It's actually overwhelming at first and you kind of get a little shell shocked, but not by the prices, by the sheer quantity of stuff to choose from. Jenna was able to nail it down to a couple items for her birthday but we all agreed a return trip will definitely happen!

A peek through the hall windows into my office, maybe they can take over my job, would love that!!!

After the pedicures we had to pamper our tummies as well, Olive Garden here we come! More importantly bread sticks and alfredo sauce here we come! Jenna's first experience at an OG and this Auntie laughed when she was picking through the dessert menu, like we ever get that far! She understood after our entrees came, they were so full they hardly took 5 bites! Little birds they are....

Waiting patiently for the polish to dry/harden

Put two giggly girls in a hand/foot dryer with a bowl full of suckers and candy in front of them, recipe for disaster!!!!

Jenna's pretty toes, she loved her first pedicure, they both had such a great time - hint hint, great idea for future b-days!!!

Of course we regret to inform you that while this day was spent the girls going one way and the boys going the other, this meant that no photos of the boys' day exists as Uncle Steve is just not an avid photographer, not yet at least! Seth, Conner & Steve spent the morning at their home away from home, Cabelas where Seth hit the jackpot and found a steal of a deal on a fishing rod. He was so excited and the beaming smile on his face was just awesome to behold! Uncle Steve helped fill more of his tackle box with lures and now Seth is ready to take on any fish that swims his way. They also took to the lake and if I'm not mistaken, Seth might have out fished his Uncle Steve. Well that's how I remember the story, depends on who you ask though :)!

Friday night we watched Avatar, Saturday was adventure day, Saturday night we had a pizza party and watched The Green Hornet and Sunday was Church (more fishing for Steve & Seth) and then Space Aliens. Overall it was an awesome weekend, stayed up way too late, but had such an incredible time. A big thanks to Bill & Sarah for letting us spoil their kids for a weekend, we loved every second of it! Until next year.........
