Memorial Day Weekend


This weekend was jam packed full of fun.
It is the weekend in between Kevin's birthday and my birthday, so we always try and do something fun to celebrate our birthdays! And fun we had! We headed to San Francisco for a Giants game!
My older sister hooked us up with awesome tickets to the Giants game...3 rows behind home plate! 
 Seriously the best seats we have ever sat in. I love AT&T Park, such a fun venue.
 So fun seeing the players so close up.
I am totally going to get these shirts for my girls. Ha! Check out this orange Giants SUV we saw in the parking lot. My nephew would love a car like this! Ha!
We also had our Wine Group over this weekend for a wine tasting party.
We stated a wine group 8 years ago with 5 other couples. It was before any of us had kids.
We would meet every other month and have a specific variety of wine, from a specific region that you needed  to bring. Each month was a different theme. We do a blind tasting & then rank the wines, etc. It is SO fun (I should do a whole post on how to throw a wine tasting party...so much fun!)
Anyways, our wine group hadn't meet in a few years because we have all been busy having kids, moving, etc. But, wine group is BACK! I love this group.
 
 Yummy Appetizers.
The ladies:

  If you are tasting red wine, you need CHOCOLATE!
Such a fun night!


Our friends surprised us & showed up with donuts.

We then headed to Kevin's parents for brunch to celebrate our birthdays!


Our Birthday Cake...Mud Pie Oreo Ice Cream Cake! YUM!
It was great weekend, a busy weekend & a fun weekend!

  2. We had a great weekend too. (Ours also included a date!! Woot woot!) And the wine tasting?? Awesome! I just had to laugh at your comment about the girls being scared of movies. My 4 year old is scared of pretty much every movie as well, except for Cinderella and Cars. We even tried the Lorax and it scared her too. Ha!

  9. What a great post!! Those seats at the Giants game were amazing! And I LOVE the wine party idea! I'm all for your writing a post about how to throw a wine tasting party! :) Annie is one of my all-time favorite movies/plays- in fact, I wanted to BE Annie on broadway when I grew up. ;) You'll definitely have to try it again with your girls when they're older! The pics of you and your hubby are too cute- glad you guys got to celebrate this weekend!

  10. My girls are scared by everything in movies, too. We watched Mary Poppins and even had to fast forward some stuff. The Annie DVD we watched had something where you could select to just watch the songs. That was way more their style!
