Mom & Tots Halloween playdate

On Monday October 18th the Moms and Tots group met at the Ticola home to celebrate Halloween with a costume playdate. The kiddos played for a while, and the moms enjoyed our much-needed adult interaction :). Then we all headed upstairs to enjoy the festive cuisine which ranged from zombie eyes to mummy dogs. All which were very ghoulishly good. Liam the pirate won for "Coolist Costume", and Melissa's mummy dogs won for "Best Dish". Thank you to Laura Graham for taking the photos of our little monsters.

Shout out to the mommy's...here's an anticipatory apology for any misspelled names in the photo captions.

August Bunco

In August Sarah hosted Bunco and we actually played!!! Mary was the "biggest loser" and won her $5 back. Sarah and Areta split the pot for the most wins. It was a great night an we are all looking forward to playing again in October!

Bunco!

Cookie Tour

In September the Mom & Tots group went on a tour of Bud's Best Cookies. I am glad they got to wear such amazing accessories! It looks like they had a great time and got to eat some really yummy cookies!

Sips N Strokes

Tuesday night we had Girls Night Out at Sips N Strokes on Hwy 280. Here is the picture we were supposed to paint:

And because we had a horrible teacher, here are some of the pictures we actually painted. I think they all turned out better than expected!

We had a great time and hope that we can do it again soon!

Art on the Rocks!

Friday night a few of us went to Art on the Rocks at the Birmingham Museum of Art. This was probably the BEST people watching place ever! We had a great time and enjoyed wonderful food and drinks. Be on the lookout for us in the upcoming All Around Town magazine! I think we might also go again on August 13th or September 10th if anyone wants to join us!

Spring Brunch

Today was our annual spring farewell brunch. Thank you, Sarah, for hosting such a wonderful event. It's always nice to hang out with great friends, and especially nice to be able to celebrate with those that have finished their time in Birmingham and are moving on to fellowship or a practice.

I've tried flipping this picture every which way, and I can't! Sorry!

Valentine's Party

Here is a group pic from the Moms and Tots Valentine's Day playdate.

Sips N Strokes

Eight of us went to Sips N Strokes to create wonderful masterpieces that might actually hang in our houses (or garage)! We had so much fun sipping, stroking and eating chocolate chip cookies! The picture we painted was called "poppies" and it was actually pretty hard but I think they all turned out great!
