Happy Mother's Day

Another crazy but fun weekend around the Friedman home. Friday night the girls and I went to see Wicked at the Music Hall. It was fabulous. I didn't know what to expect but i truly enjoyed the show. I wish now that I would have brought Nina with me. I really think she would have loved it. If you are unfamiliar with the musical, it's based on a book written in 1995 "Wicked" about the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the good Witch of the North when they were growing up and in school. The second act is more of what is happening while Dorothy is in Oz. Kind of behind the scenes or what we didn't see.... I can surely say that i cannot watch the Wizard of Oz the same way again. Anyway, such a great show and i would see it again. Plus this was my first night out with the girls since Julia was born. It was very nice and fun.

Saturday was full of parties. Started off with my great friend Lesley's bridal shower. Julia and I went to the shower and I think everyone loved seeing her. Then we were off to Nina's 10th bday party at Studio Ladida. This place is great for girls to have a makeover party. Nina had 5 friends come and they got to dress up, nails done, hair done, makeup or sparkles done on their faces. Then they danced, sang and had a fashion show. Each girl walked the runway while the owners announced their likes, dislikes, etc. It was really neat and the girls just loved it. Then it was time for ice cream and cake and presents.

Finally, it was Lesley's bachlorette party. Now I've been to quite a few of these but it is only the second time that I've been to one with a stripper. Lesley was quite the trooper but I think she would have rather enjoyed the evening without it. I only stayed for the first half of the festivities and then came home when the girls headed to Kelly's and other bars. I already knew I would be up most of the night at home with Julia. :)
