Girl's Day

Saturday afternoon we were able to go to my cousin Brooklyn's baptism. We had fun eating yummy food, visiting with family, and sharing in Brooklyn's special day. Kalianna was finally able to meet more of her great aunts and uncles as well. That evening was the Gallacher women's Girl's Day. Since the baptism was earlier that day, we decided to do something simple for Girl's Day. We ordered Chinese food for dinner and made these really cute bags. We had two irons set up and three sewing machines, so we could rotate around while we all worked on our bags. They turned out so cute! I can't take all the credit for my bag though, since my mom worked on mine whenever I needed to feed Kali. Kalianna spent mostof the evening with her grandpa while the rest of us sewed. As you can see from the pictures, the bags are interchangeable so its like having two bags in one! And some people made cute pockets to go inside their bag. Ricci stopped by for a little while to say good bye, as she returned to Georgia the next day. She couldn't join us for the whole evening, so Bryan made her bag for her. Who knew he could sew? We were all very impressed with his mad skills. He looks sad in the picture because his wasn't finished yet when the rest of us left. I think it was, once again, a very successful Girl's Day!

Girl's Day

Every three months the women on my mom's side of the family get together for a girl's day. Its always a lot of fun and relaxing! For November girl's day we thought it would be fun to have an over-nighter. On Friday I met my aunt Bonnie and Grandma at my mom's house around 5:00. The four of us drove to Park City to get settled into our room. We turned on a movie and snacked and chatted while we waited for my two sisters, Kristine and Julie, to arrive. Once all of us were there we went out to dinner. The food was super yummy, but I did feel jipped on my salad. I ordered a side salad that consisted of lettuce and cucumbers. No tomatoes or nothin'! But my steak was excellent and the horseradish mashed potatoes were super good. Anyway, after our meal we went back to the hotel room and just talked and laughed for a long time. This is one of my favorite things about girl's day! I love sitting around with the girls talking, and getting away from all worries and stress. We finished the movie we had started earlier and then got to bed after midnight.

Saturday we got up and brought breakfast back to the room so we could visit more while we ate and got our things together. Then we went to the outlet stores and enjoyed shopping for a couple hours. I wasn't too interested in the clothing stores, since I can't buy anything right now, but my mom and I had a ball in the baby store. They had a really cute baby store and everything was on sale for really good prices. If Matt and I knew what we were having, I'm sure we could have bought the kid's entire wardrobe there! My mom did buy us a really cute, soft blanket that matches the baby's room and a cute puppy stuffed animal that rattles. Those two things are the very first baby items we have gotten. Yay! After we were done shopping we decided to head to main street for lunch. We took a nice walk down the length of main street (it was cool to check out all the shops) but decided in the end that we were ready to go back to Salt Lake. My only regret is we never made it into the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.

We drove back to Salt Lake and had a late lunch at Marie Calenders. When we got back to my mom's house everyone was ready to head home. I realized I had left my pillow at the hotel in Park City, so my sweet sister Julie offered to drive me back. (Thank goodness Park City isn't very far) She dropped me off in Layton on her way back to Logan and thus concluded our trip. Thanks ladies! It was a blast!
