Friday was Donuts with Dad at Preschool. This is Bella and her Daddy before they left for school in the morning!
After that was over, Vincent and I picked up Isabella at school. We then began our journey. We dropped Vincent off with Papa Joe and Grammy Alice and made our way to Arizona! We only had to make one stop in Blythe to get gas and something to eat. We arrived in Arizona about 4:00 pm to see Meagan, Maddie and Caitlin!! Meagan was sweet enough to offer to let us stay at her home while we were visiting. She was a perfect hostess: she had the towels wrapped with ribbon and flowers and books in the room where I was staying. So sweet!
{Background: Amanda is my friend from HS. She moved in HS to Arizona, where she then went to HS with Meagan. Meagan (and her family) lived in Chino Hills for a while and Amanda introduced us. Amanda now lives in Canada and is in Arizona visiting family for two weeks. So I seized the opportunity to see two wonderful girlfriends I haven't seen in a long time!}
The girls got to playing right away! That night Meagan made us a yummy dinner. The girls had bath time, colored and story time. We thought they would camp out in the office together, but Isabella ended up sleeping with me in Maddie's room.
The next morning we met Amanda and her daughter Mia at the mall. We were also joined by Amanda's friend Kim and her new baby Avery! The girls just loved playing with each other. We played, ate lunch and did a little bit of shopping.

Just love this picture! That night we had another yummy dinner and Movie night with Princess and the Frog and some popcorn!!
On Sunday we went to the splash pad, Build a Bear, had lunch and did a little shopping.
That night, Meagan's hubby Jim volunteered to watch all three girls while us Moms went to Houston's for dinner. It was so great to catch up, have a glass a wine (well I was the only one because Meagan and Amanda are PG), and lots of laughs!
I love these two ladies and am so thankful to call them my friends!
Friends Forever - no matter where in proximity life takes us!
Driving to Arizona was a personal accomplishment! I am very proud to have done it by myself. I am also very happy to have spent the time with just Isabella. She has behaved so well since we have been back from Arizona. And I learned so much from Meagan and her daily routine that I have implemented one of my own that is working wonderful! Thanks friend!!!!!

It truly was a "girls" weekend - all girls all the time! I'm so happy you and Bella were able to come, it's always great to see you.
And nice job on the towels, Meagan!
