Never Ending Birthday Celebrations!

I'm so blessed to have the friends that I do, but why are all of them born in a two month span? I can't get away from birthdays!!! (Even though it gives me an excuse to get dressed up and head downtown, which is always fun.)

Friday, I got to leave work early and I went to surprise Lindsey and her kiddos at school. All the little kids think it's so cool that they know my name is Jill, so as I walked out to where they were reading, they all yelled at the same time "JIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" and all 30 of them ran up and gave me one big group hug. That made me realize that I could never be a teacher. I wouldn't be able to stop playing with the kids enough to teach them anything. But my sister, however, is a perfect teacher.

Anyway, back to the birthdays. Friday night, after spending some QT with my Mama, I headed over to Kristen's house to celebrate her birthday. Then we all headed out to Federal Hill where we continued the celebration. I don't get to see much of Kristen and Kate, but when I do, it's always an amazing time.

Kate, Kris and Me. I call them my "High School Sweethearts".

Then Saturday night, it was Rachel and Katie's turn for birthday celebrations. You may remember Rachel (Shalom, from this post ). Her actual birthday was April 20th but she decided that she wanted to do bowling on Saturday to celebrate. I for whatever reason, didn't take any pictures at the bowling alley, but we did duckpin bowling and it was a great time.

Then, later on that night, Alyssa and I headed down to Bay Cafe in Canton to celebrate Katie Mo's birthday. It was a beautiful night out and we had such a great time. Here is Alyssa and I posing with Katie the birthday girl!

Being silly.

Then I wound down my weekend with a nice long walk on Sunday followed by sushi with Andy. Needless to say, I need to catch up on some much needed sleep.
