The Price Is Right Live show was scheduled to come to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center the weekend of her birthday. I purchased our tickets ASAP and we were set to go. Aunt Lorie was kind enough to pick up Stryker and let him spend the night with her and the kiddos that Friday night while Mom & I went to the show. Mom came down early so we could head to the PAC and register to be a contestant before the show. We soon found out, everyone else in Charleston had that same idea :)
It looks rather bad, but in actuality it wasn't that bad at all. We waited approximately an hour and we got into the lobby, filled out the little form and got our name tags. It took 2.5 minutes. We decided that since we had an hour and half until show time and they weren't letting people in to sit yet we'd go grab a bite to eat. We planned to head just across the way to Panera Bread for a soup & salad. WRONG. Traffic was RIDIC! So, to play it safe (in terms of not wasting a lot of time), I treated my Mom to Waffle House for dinner. Winning! LOL! She said she didn't mind and let's face it, WH is awesome!
After our delish
The show was a good time and unfortunately for us, we were not picked to go on stage to win fabulous cash & prizes. But, fun nonetheless! I hope my Mom had a nice birthday gift outing! It sure was fun to have a girl's night!
Saturday we had Ethan's first birthday party to attend and then we headed over to Granny's house for a birthday dinner for Mom. Granny, Mark, Logan, Katie, Lorie, Peyton & Maddison along with Stryker, Pat & me had a great time celebrating our favorite Nana! Lorie made us Stuffed Shells, Salad and Garlic Bread. I provided the cake. LOL! I'm very fortunate to have a SIL that loves to cook, and does it so very well!
After dinner, it was time for cake & ice cream!
These guys seem like they were waiting forever or something...
It was all we could do to keep Peyton & Stryker from blowing out the candles while we sang the Birthday Song! They were quite ready and waiting. Little Miss Maddison wasn't sure what all this hoopla was all about!
Finally! The song was over and they raced to blow out the candles!
And both of them HAD to lick the icing off the candles. There may or may not have been some wax eating...
Next up, you guessed it! GIFTS! The best part for the boys! Nana was quite the diplomat and made sure everyone had a turn in opening her gifts and cards. Good sharing guys!
And in true Nana Fashion, gifts for the grand kids followed her own celebration! Peyton, Stryker & Maddison each got a Valentine goodie bag full of V-Day treats and Love.
Hmmm... what's this? I shall put it in my mouth! Good catch, Mommy. Maybe next time :)
We all hope you had a fabulous birthday Nana! We love you so very much!
