Vic and Anthony's


Michael decided that he wanted to take Uncle Mark to a dinner at Vic and Anthony's while he was in town.  We were planning to ask Grandma and Papa to watch Gabby while we went out to eat; however, Grandma and Papa were in Las Vegas during the majority of his visit so we decided to allow Gabby to come with us (but we were admittedly a little concerned of her behavior).  We talked up the dinner for a week, discussing how princesses went to this place to eat and how they were expected to behave.  I carefully made early dinner reservations to help with her mood and we decided that the dinner would be considered an early birthday celebrations for Gabby, which was literally the icing on the cake solidifying her behaving throughout the entire night.

So the night of the dinner arrived and we all got dressed up and headed to the restaurant.  Gabby was so excited! When we arrived she admired that large live lobsters with Daddy and then they lead us all to our table.  When we were first seated (with the only child in the entire restaurant mind you) we were given "looks," however, we were quickly forgotten or smiled at because Gabby was behaved better than the rest of the us three adults!  She literally ate half of my perfectly cooked medium-well 16 oz. ribeye steak, mashed potatoes, and even her green beans.  After we all finished our meals (with three trips to the restroom so Gabby could enjoy the live music from the bar area and watch her reflection in the elevator doors while dancing) it was finally dessert time! Gabby chose the largest piece of red velvet cake I've ever encountered which matched her dress perfectly.  They drizzled chocolate syrup on her plate into the words, "Happy 4th Birthday" and she gleamed as they lit her early birthday candle.  She savored every bite that she could manage to stuff in her already full stomach.  When we left the dinner she was exhausted and passed out within five minutes of leaving the restaurant.  It was a very fun experience to share with Gabby and Mark.  Probably the second most favorite time going to eat there!  I am sure we will take her again some day!

Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving Day we all with to Grandma and Papa’s house to enjoy a traditional Cajun dinner and it was delicious.  Gigi, Blakeleigh, Brandy, Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Grandma, Papa, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Christine, and Keith were all there to celebrate with us.  Gabby enjoyed the day immensely playing with Blakeleigh the entire day and even trying to snuggle with her during her nap time.  Gabby made everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to Mommy and she blew out the candles Then Brandy and Blakeleigh spent two nights with us.  We had lots of fun going to Mud Pie to make handprint Christmas cookie plates and hanging out at Grandma’s house.  Gabby enjoyed very much singing Happy Birthday to Mommy with the family and blowing out my candle.  The night of my birthday Gabby spend the night with Grandma and Papa and Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Mommy and Daddy went to the movies together for the first time ever.  It was a very fun weekend.   T...

Shelbie. Sherbie? Sheldon!

So I caved. We always go to the pet store and look at all of the animals, for at least an hour each week. The day after Christmas we went to the pet store and Gabby said, "Can I have a real cat? Please..." I said no, but for some reason I decided she needed a cat and Michael was on board, so Saturday we did not tell her what we were doing, but we bought all of the stuff for a cat and then went to the pet adoptions. Gabby loves looking at all of the pets and was petting all of the kitties. We played with numerous cats and chose a 9 month old cat that has been in the pet store as long as we have been going there.   This cat always seems to perk up and give Gabby attention, so he was the only one I was truly interested in adopting.  I didn't want a kitten because they are so rambunctious with sharp kitten claws, not to mention Gabby isn't that gentle and I was afraid she might have loved it to death.  We used Gabby's Christmas money from all of...

Halloween & Another Kitty Costume

Halloween this year was a whirlwind.  I had plans. Big plans, but life happens and plans change. Gabby had early release on Wednesday and Thursday this week.  We had every moment scheduled, but our schedule changed. We were blessed to have Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Sharon come for a surprise visit.  I wasn't getting much sleep and so I wasn't 100%. Wednesday Gabby spent the day with Mommy visiting with Aunt Sharon and Grandma and Grandpa once out of school. On Thursday, we still managed to spend one day with Aunt Sharon and even take her to the airport after Mommy got off of work.  Then we went to Uncle Mark's new apartment and picked up some clothes for him (Gabby is in LOVE and wants to move in immediately).  Then the fun began.  She got to  paint a black cat for Halloween and then got a Gigi's cupcake (eating nothing but the frosting).  Somehow she later convinced me to take her to the farmer's market for perusing, then some cartwheels in a...
