Thriller!

Mila experienced her first 80’s party, and she loved it!
Here’s a little snippet of her dancing to the Thriller:

My friend from work had a 40th birthday/Kicking Cancer party for his wife and it was an all out 80’s theme. The costumes were great. We saw everything from Miami Vice look-a-likes to side ponytails, leggings and pumps.

We (Jens) made cupcakes for the event. There were Pretty In Pink Champagne cupcakes, Madonna’s Mocha Not Quite Virgin (with Kahlua frosting) cupcakes, and some Walking On Sunshine Golden Vanilla mini cupcakes. Mila did her part by filling the cupcake tins with liners. She’d fill ‘em up, dump ‘em out, and do it all over again. It was enough to keep her occupied for a little while, and she looked cute doing it!

We had another celebration that weekend, Father’s Day! Todd’s family invited us to celebrate with them and it was a great day. The sun was out, the food was amazing, and it was an all-around great day. It’s really nice to have an extra family close to “home”. They’re always so welcoming and Mila loves the extra attention!

This weekend, Mila and Jens are getting a little extra daddy/daughter time (and I get some “me” time). I am off to Chicago for a design conference and will be gone Friday through late Monday night. Mila will do daycare like normal today and Monday (with help from Aunt Jessie for drop-off/pick-up). Over the weekend, Jens is taking Mila to Lake View to visit grandma and grandpa. So, in the end, I think this little trip will be good for all of us! (And I know I’ll be anxious to see them by Monday!)
