Sarah & Crafton come bearing gifts

Sarah and Crafton stopped by yesterday on their way from Roanoke to Richmond. They live in upstate New York, so visits are few and far between (unfortunately :o( ) We hadn't seen them since Christmas!

They came bearing gifts. Lots and LOTS of birthday gifts! They brought her a bunch of clothes, a GIANT caterpillar, and a classic Fisher Price "phone".

She loves her caterpillar - she gives him kisses over and over, which I honestly hadn't seen her do to a toy before!



We hung out at the house for awhile - I made some Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies, which I admit is NOT on my diet, but I made an exception ;o) I didn't take any pictures because I was busy catching up with them, and I figured I had the whole day - which I'm kicking myself for now because I forgot the SD card in our computer!! Uggghghgh...

Anyway, Sarah and I headed out to Short Pump for some shopping and dinner. We've always had a tradition of going out for Thai food and mojitos. We haven't had any mojitos in quite awhile, but we still kept with the tradition and had Tom Yum soup and Pad Thai. MmmmMmmMMmm...

We tried on some clothes, played with Noel, walked around, and just had fun. It's a shame that we don't get to hang out more often - I wish they could move closer to home!! Maybe in a few years?? I'm holding out hope ;-)
