It was Kiley's first time to sit in a high chair!

On Saturday morning, we packed up Kiley and the boys and headed South. The plan was for all of the girls to meet at a new restaurant in Cedar Hill for lunch. Gretchen had no idea what she was doing for the entire day. Everything was a surprise. She thought we were going to the lake for the weekend. On the way to the restaurant, we got rear-ended with all of us in the car. Luckily it wasn't too hard. Kiley didn't even know what was going on. The bumper will need to be replaced, but the important thing was that we were all ok. Thank you God. After the fender bender, Mikey, Kiley and the boys dropped me off at the restaurant and they went to Marmee & Guy's to drop Kiley and the dogs off for the night. Gretchen was so surprised to see us at the restaurant waiting for her.

We gave her a dogeared Cherish gold necklace.

After lunch we went next door to Patrizio's for a bellini. They were delicious!

Then we went to get pedicures!

After our pampering, we walked around the new shopping center in Cedar Hill. We popped into the bakery for a quick cupcake.

When we were done shopping, we went back to Gretchen & Ben's where the boys were. They had decorated the house and Ben got Beer & Wine and appetizers. We had been working on a scrapbook for Gretchen for weeks. It was the next big surprise. She loved it!

After hanging out for a while, we got ready for our big night out! Mikey and I were very excited about our night out with everyone.

A picture with me and the birthday girl!

We went to Nick & Sam's Grill for dinner.

Ben had a beautiful cake waiting for dessert.

We ended the day at Tribeca in Uptown.

It was such a special day full of surprises for Gretchen. We love her so much and wish her a year of good health and happiness. Happy Birthday Gretch!
