Happy Birthday Reese!

In celebration of my bestie's baby's birthday, she invited Soren and I to meet her and her daughter at Paint Yourself Silly for a night of girly fun. Never ones to say no to a little paint and ice cream, we headed into the heart of downtown Lincoln on a Friday night and began the search for a parking space. Lucky for us we got one only steps from where we needed to be, and so did Sara. The night was already off to a great start.

We all picked out something to paint and chose our 6 paint colors. Of course, my baby picked out a dinosaur. The birthday girl chose a pig. We got right to work painting after we took a few photos.









By the end of our hour, Soren's dino was so covered in paint that it was dripping (as is her usual treatment of her PYS projects).



All that painting had made the four of us quite hungry, so it's a good thing Ivanna Cone is right next door.




After ice cream we played around next door at the book store before deciding it was past our bedtime and time to go home. On our way out we were lucky enough to get a free sleigh ride through downtown. The night was brisk but not too chilly for a ride in a one-horse open sleigh - Hey! Actually, it was a two-horse sleigh, but who cares?

By the end of the ride we were all officially painted silly, full, cold, and happy. What a gift Reese has been to my friend and her husband. Happy Birthday to one of the sweetest angels on earth!
