Christmas In July...

Last night we had our MOMS meeting. Oh, how i love going. I really enjoy talking to other moms and hearing all about their adventures. Last night was a special night. We had our Christmas in July party. That included a ice cream social(which is always good for those dieting, LOL) and our Christmas in July raffle. It was awesome and i went prepared with an extra 30 dollars to purchase tickets for all sorts of Raffles, which included anywhere from a awesome USA map for small kidos to a pedicure at a fancy spa to a portrait gift card worth one hundred dollars. Oh it was awesome. Then we had a bidding war on a few high priced items, which included a party planner that would put together a princess party, provide a big blow up jumper and princess themed cups. party plates and napkins, along with those we had one of our moms generously donated her hubbies time for a portrait session...Aeric is a high priced awesome professional photographer. I had to bid on that one because he has done pics for us before(when i was prego with the twins and he offered a 700 dollar portrait session for 25 people for FREE, yes, seriously FREE) and I LOVE his pics..BUT, the lady next to me outbid me and i had already made arrangements for another fellow mom to take pics of us tomorrow...so i couldn't see keeping up the bidding. I ended up winning a really cute sterling silver bracelet, which i gave to Hannah...but it didn't fit.

Anyway, although we didn't have a true meeting this month we still had our "sunshine" ladies come up and talk and i kid you not, we have 3 or 4 sets of triplets on the way. Oh WOW! That is AMAZING! All in all i had a great time! I really need to go more often, it's such a relief getting out and hanging with other MOMS! I have to brag and say that no one had seen me in a few months and everyone was SHOCKED at how much weight i had lost. TTL to date: 45lbs! Yeah, i guess that is a lot of weight on a 5'1 frame.

Check back soon for pics of our outing and family pics i should have tomorrow..maybe!
