We're back in our home town for the weekend to celebrate Ellen and Philip's wedding at the Bronx Botanical Gardens.
Things are never quiet with the Lenders, so of course we had a million (and one) things to do while we were back home. The whole Balsam crew was in New York to celebrate Chloe's sixth birthday extravangza. Friday morning, Jon and I headed back to New City to return his car, go to the DMV to return his plates and have lunch with his mom! Delicious meatballs.... In the afternoon, I hit the Theory sample sale with Lori; she was like a kid in a candy store, which makes sense for anyone who doesn't ordinarily see these prices :) In the evening, we had a fun family dinner to fete four birthdays in our family - Mom, Lori, Chloe and me!
Saturday was just as busy with both Chloe's birthday party and Ellen and Philip's wedding. Chloe's birthday party was awesome - it was a gymnastics party at Chelsea Piers. There were a lot of new faces from Chloe's class and some that we recognized from Claremont School (30 kids in all - woah!) . As usual, Chloe was a stunning birthday girl - in an adorable red dress, which stayed on all the way to Chelsea Piers and she ripped off as she entered the party room, revealing her piece de resistance - a black velvet short unitard with silver bits throughout. What a number that only a six year old could pull off ;)
We had to leave the party a couple of minutes early - sorry Chloe - in order to race home and get ready for Ellen's wedding. It was record time and I think we were out of the house in less than 45 minutes. We hopped in a cab to catch the bus to Ellen's wedding, which as it turned out was late anyways - murphy's law, I suppose! Anyway, the wedding was beautiful and in a spot called the Snuff Mill - we loved the room, nice and intimate with rustic details. And of course another added bonus was seeing some Columbia friends which is always fun!
