Brooke's 1st Communion

Craig and I drove 5 hours to the St. Louis area (O'Fallon, IL) to visit Chad, Marcie, Brooke and Peyton for Brooke's 1st Communion (she's my goddaughter).  The girls are so cute!  The last time I saw Peyton she was a baby and now she's a big girl!  I'm a terrible friend...I need to make a point to see my friends more often.  

Friday night we went to dinner at an Italian restaurant with Angie, Chris, Marce & Chad.  After dinner we went to Angie's uncle's house for drinks.  Her uncle has a basement full of guy toys (fuseball, etc) so the guys had fun playing with their toys while the girls had fun chatting.  Saturday we went over to Krista & Brian's house to hang out and see her boys.  Her boys Tyler and Lucas are so cute!  It was great seeing Krista.  (missing out girls' weekends and need to do another one soon)  Saturday night we grilled out at Marce and Chad's house and Angie, Chris & Tia came over.  Tia is so cute too!  The kids all had fun hanging out and so did the adults.  We had to get up early for Brooke's 1st Communion on Sunday.  She looked so pretty!  She is growing up so fast.  The service was very nice and they had a nice party afterwards.  We had to leave early because we had to drive back home.  We had the best weekend!  Thanks everyone for such a fun weekend...miss and love you all so much!!
