I had visitors last weekend! My sister (Sarah), niece (Alexis) and her three friends Karly, Rachel and Ligxy. They came as a thank you to Alexis. She was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari-syndrome this year, and it has been a trying road for her! She had to undergo surgery a few weeks ago and her friends were there for her through it all! My sister won a limo ride at my adoption auction and she decided to plan a trip for Alexis' friends in Indy. They are from Gaylord, MI.
They arrived around 8:30pm Friday night and we headed to the movies and saw The Boy in the Striped Pajamas...good movie!
Saturday morning we took the girls to the mall and tied up some loose ends for their surprise evening! We met the girls at P.F. Chang's for lunch, and then took them to my house to get ready. The limo picked us up at 4:30pm.
The limo that took us around for the evening!
The first stop was at Scholar's Inn, a fantastic restaurant downtown on Mass Ave.
Did I mention the fantastic desserts they have? Don't you wish you were there?!?
From the left Alexis, Ligxy, Rachel and Karly. The girls had a bouquet of gerber daisies waiting on them at Scholar's Inn with a Thank you note from Alexis.
The next stop was at Silver in the City. It is also on Mass Ave. We picked out a silver ring for the girls earlier in the day, and they got to stop in and try them on and pick a size that fit them. They all left with matching rings, that were super cute!
The next stop was a carriage ride around downtown. The carriage had instruction to drop them off at Southbend Chocolate Company on the circle.
The girls had chocolate covered strawberries and hot chocolates waiting for them at Southbend Chocolate Company...yummy!
The circle looks so beautiful downtown around Christmas!
The limo ride was fun, and it took us around downtown till our last stop...keep reading to find out where we ended up!
The last stop was at the Murat Theatre. We saw The Lion King Play. If you haven't been yet, you HAVE to check it out! It was an awesome show to see, and I would highly recommend checking it out! The costumes are worth it!
Ligxy just couldn't resist kissing the young simba!

The end of our day consisted of the girls and I going to Cheeseburger in Paradise for appetizers. We went there around midnight. They had a live band, and I dared the girls to dance, and they did it! I WISH I had my camera for that part! They were so cute!
After CIP, we went to Meijer and played a little shopping game. The girls broke up into teams of 2. I gave each of them a list and some cash. They had to collect the items and pay for them. The first team to get back won a prize. This was on the fly, so I bought some pez dispensers for them all. The winners got snowman pez, and the others won Joker pez.
It was a blast of a day! I can't believe it went so quickly! I hope the girls will be back soon!
Girls Night Out!
