So we had dinner with friends Saturday night and it was sooo fun!!!
The whole Drama Crew went to Sweet Janice and KP's house for dinner.
Missy, Jeremy and their kiddos came too. We had some much needed friend time.
It was Missy and Layton's birthdays (well close enough) so we HAD to celebrate!!

So after we ate and had ice cream cake, yes that was the official "birthday" cake...
Oh it was sooo yummy...
Ummm by the way Mis, your awesome!!!
We were hanging out and talking, the we started wondering where our boys were...
I bet you can guess where....

Yea, didn't see them all night...
Any-whoo
We did get to see Layton's new birthday gift...
Oh she is sooo stinkin cute!!!
Bloggin friends this is Winnie...or as Layton calls her "Whin-A-Fred" (don't ask)
Okay so you talked me into it, Layton wanted to name her Oprah, I have no idea why, I guess he likes her...
So then Mom (AKA sweet Janice) says ummm no, you might offend someone, how about Winfrey??
He likes it but then Layton comes up with Whin-A-Fred, and well it just stuck...
But I like her nickname Winnie, so that's what I'm calling her....
OMGosh she is adorable, and sooo tiny. Everyone just loves her!!! Just ask Brooke...

So after playing with Winnie, we all felt all warm and fuzzy inside....no really, she's that cute!!!
Then Mr. Layton starts playing his guitar, and he is good!!!
He always plays me 80's hits that I love, he's very talented!!!
Here's Layton playing my fav Def Leppard's Hysteria...
We had such a good time, the guys (our hubby's) were all held up in front of the T.V. watching some crazy UFC fight, ugh!! We were soooo not watching that!!
So while the guys were watching that, Sweet Janice and I dressed up the dogs...hee hee...
Ranger Rick & Whin-A-Fred didn't mind, they were very happy....We think..
Don't judge us....



So as the evening is winding down, Brooklyn finds a board game and of course, wants to play...Well guess who she goes to...Yep the only one who doesn't know the power of a little girl.....

Oh yeah, Brooke suckered KP in big time with the Candy Land ploy....
She's good, I'll give her that!!!
So it was about time to leave, Marky Mark had just got home earlier and KP had already played like 18 games of Candy Land, and Missy was ready to go to bed....So we start calling for the boys to come downstairs.....
But getting them away from the Xbox was easier said than done....
Plus this is what was blocking the stairway....

It's like she just makes herself at home, no matter where we are...Good thing they like us over there!!
But finally after several "can I spend the nights" and "can Koda/Nathan spend the night", we (all of us) went home.
Thanks again my sweet friends for a great evening, lots of laughs, and ice cream cake were great therapy for all of us!!! We have to do it next weekend for sure.
Jeremy said so....

Oh and just a quick update.....
Sweet Janice's father is doing soooo much better!!! He's out of ICU and he is getting stronger each day. Thank you to all my sweet readers for your thought, prayers, and kind words...I really do appreciate it and so does Janice, Kreyton and their families!!!
Ya'll are awesome!!!
