Great Date!!

I couldn't believe it when I got an e-mail last week from Shannon at http://nwamotherlode.com/ telling me that I won the GREAT DATE GIVEAWAY!! I entered the drawing thinking that I probably wouldn't win, but that I would really like to win and would try. It included a $50.00 gift certificate to Bordinos, a great restaurant that Eduardo and I had never been to, and two show tickets to see RAIN: A Tribute To The Beatles at the Walton Arts Center. It was a very special night for Eduardo and I. We enjoyed every minute of it being together!
Our good friends Elyse, Vernon and Jackson volunteered to watch Ana Maria for the night and they had so much fun together! I know Jackson and Ana Maria love each other and always have fun, but I think Vernon and Elyse might have had even more fun with her being there! They read books, ate dinner, played with "boy" toys, ate dessert and took a bath together. I'm sad I didn't get to see them interact together but Elyse got a lot of it on video and pictures. Here are a couple of the picttures from the night. Thank you again Tarver Family!!

Ana Maria is always happy reading books and I'm sure even more happy reading with her best bud Jackson!

She loved playing with Jackson's "boy" toys...we might have to buy her a drill!

They were so cute eating together!

She must be trying to all mama and papa in this picture!

Thank you so much Vernon, Elyse and Jackson for a fun night for Ana Maria!!

Here is a clip from youtube about the band we saw RAIN: A Tribute To The Beatles. You should check it out because the show was so good!
