February 9

It's always nice to spend time with friends, and today Abby and I did just that when we headed out for the afternoon with Gracie and her mom, Angela. We started with lunch at a new restaurant in town and then headed to the theater a hop, skip, and a jump away to take in a production of "Mamma Mia".

Although Abby and Gracie have a few classes together at school and we see each other at church, the four of us hadn't gone out together since 2014, when we did a dual birthday celebration for the girls. And if today told me anything, it's that we shouldn't wait so long to get together again. (And that groovy metallic platform boots are hilarious.)
