A visit from Candice

My friend Candice is in town visiting family in between moving. They were in New York at Fort Drum and are in the processing of moving to Fort Carson in Colorado. Her little girl, Abigail is turning 1 on July 9th so they have had a couple of birthday parties with family here for her. Here she is in her Elmo chair.

Abigail is testing out the cake to see what she thinks. We are teaching her at a young age that chocolate is GOOD!!!

Candice and I were able to get away and go have a little girl time. It was SO much fun to go and do some of our "traditions" and add a new tradition. I thought that with her being a new mom she doesn't spend a lot of time on pampering herself, so I made appointments for us to go get pedicures. This was Candice's first pedicure and at first she was a little nervous about someone touching her feet but she warmed up to the idea and LOVED having such pretty toes. (I had my camera but didn't get a picture of us so I just took a picture of my toes, aren't they SO cute?) After the pedicures we went to dinner and then decided that we needed to go to the movies (tradition.) We had to stop at the store to pick up chocolate covered peanuts to bring to the movies, you just need to have some sweet with the salty popcorn. Our eyes were bigger then our stomachs when we were picking out the chocolate, we brought a lot into the movies in Candice's diaper bag. We had a lot leftover but that's alright because it was more so just the fact that we were following a tradition. We both had a great time just hanging out and talking. Friends are the BEST!!!!
