A Birthday and girls night out.

When we left my parent's house on Christmas night, I told everyone bye and that I would see them again on Easter.  Usually we never drive down again before then, but we found ourselves headed that way again last weekend. 

My youngest sister Melissa was turning 30 and wanted all her sisters accounted for that day. 

We drove up Saturday afternoon and met  my family at a Mexican restaraunt for lunch. Amelia was all too excited to see Melissa get whip cream all over her face. 

Maynard may have encouraged the singers to go all crazy on her. That's ok, he has a birthday coming up soon!!!

My sister Angela suprised her with a Betty and Veronica cake. Ever since she seen Josiah's Archie and Jughead cake she declared she wanted a Betty andVeronica  cake.  

I thought it looked great!!!

We did a quick exchange of pick ups and drop offs and then it was just all us sisters and Mom headed to the Derby Dinner Playhouse in Indiana. 

We had a lot of interesting conversations in the vehicle that evening. Trust me. Don't ask.......

We arrived an hour early because we were warned that there was gonna be a lot of road construction on the way. It ended up not being bad at all. 

When they opened the doors they escorted us to our seats and Melissa was suprised to see balloons on her chair. She said, "I feel like they know it's Birthday, but I don't know how."  What she didn't  realize was that Angela had called and added the birthday package to our tickets.  

Our dinner was a buffet style so we got in line to get our food. I liked everything pretty good, but the food wasn't amazing though. 

Angela thought to take a picture of her food. Well, she actually sent the picture to her husband to taunt him a little bit. He in return sent a picture of frozen pizzas he and Maynard and all our kids were having. Ha ha

After we ate the show began. 

It was a cute play about a young woman who was overweight and her beautiful sister kept setting her up with dates much to her dismay. 

During intermission our waitress brought out another suprise for Melissa. It was a birthday cake with a sparkler on top. 

We had the hardest time keeping the dessert menu away from her. She kept insisting it was her birthday and she should be allowed to order dessert. We knew the cake was coming and she didn't. When Melissa was away from the table we asked our waitress to not ask us to order dessert so we could suprise her with her cake. 

We enjoyed the rest of the show. Well kinda!  I couldn't quit staring at the lady behind me who was ridiculously enjoying herself. I mean seriously. It was a bit extreme. However, entertaining to say the least. 

We had some hilarious conversations and I believe we made Mom blush more than once. 

It was so good to spend time with my Mom and all my sisters. I was excited to get away and have a girls night out. It was long over due and we all decided that we needed to get together more often like that. 

We stayed all night at Angela's house and then went to church with them Sunday morning. They had an awesome service where a young lady was filled with the Holyghost. 

It was a great weekend and glad I was able to spend Melissa's 30th birthday with her.
