Visiting With Brenda and Her Daughter

I hope that everyone is having a fun and crafty month so far.  Mine has been lots of fun.  My current project is making decorations, party favors, etc. for my daughter's Monster High B-day party.  Stay tune for pictures of everything.  I have also been working on finishing "thank you" cards for my Christmas gifts.  Yes, I'm a bit slow in getting them done.  Other than my projects I have been having fun spending time with friends that are visiting SoCal.  Last weekend my family and I had the pleasure of having lunch with my friend Brenda and her daughter at Rainforest Cafe.

We thought it would nice to have lunch with them at the Rainforest Cafe since it's such a fun restaurant.  The entire restaurant is decorated as a rainforest with vines, trees, animals, butterflies, etc.  Every half an hour their is a thunder storm and the animals come to life.  Here is a picture of one of the animals.

Of course the time that Brenda and I had to together would not totally be complete without surprising each other with a fun gift.  This is what I gave to her.

Her favorite color is purple (just like mine) so I thought it would be fun to give her a gift with a "purple" theme to it.  Unfortunately I was not able to find a tablet that has purple in it. This is ono, fun, and fabulous gift that she gave to me.

I am always amazed at Brenda comes up with.  Here is a close up of two of the pages of the calendar.

Pretty awesome, yeah.  My family and I had a wonderful time visiting with Brenda and her daughter and appreciate them for taking time during their vacation to spend some time with us.  We hope that they had a fab time here and look forward to seeing them again one day soon.
