Well, MOM CAME TO NYC THIS WEEKEND! YAY!!!!!!! =) We had such a fun time, and as always, time went by WAY too quickly. I was sad to say "see ya later" to her today.
She got in on Thursday. We hung out Thursday night in Harlem after work and school, just talked and had a good time. Friday Matt had to work but I headed up to Harlem around lunchtime (should have been earlier, but I had transportation issues). The day was beautiful, so we decided the Central Park Zoo was a great idea. It sure was a great idea...as well as for most of the rest of NYC. The line was SO LONG. We decided to just watch the seals from the perimeter, as well as catch a glimpse of the polar bears. Then we went on and grabbed a seat on a bench to hang out, watch park performers, and enjoy the fresh air. It was a gorgeous day...and a certain 4-year old was quite lucky because Grandma bought her some blue cotton candy!
That evening we went back to Harlem to enjoy some delicious BBQ pulled pork and then headed to the neighborhood cupcake shop for some dessert. Maya and Rocket are becoming good friends too!
Saturday we went back up to Harlem and saw a matinee movie of "How to Train Your Dragon." It was super cute and Zoe was glued to the screen with peanut M&Ms in hand. After the movie we headed back to play, be silly, and dye Easter eggs. 
Then, it was time to celebrate my birthday! (YAY!!!!!!) On our way to dinner, we saw a giant pillow fight in the middle of Union Square! It was QUITE a sight! (See pic below...see all the pillows in the air?!) I chose to go to Max Brenner's for my birthday dinner...a place where there is DELICIOUS food, and AMAZING chocolate desserts. My Mom will probably dislike the picture I'm posting here, but she's singing Happy Birthday with everyone! We all made sure there was no chocolate left behind on our plates. We devoured the crazy amount of dessert we had! There was nothing left! It was sooo good. A GREAT birthday dinner! =) Not to mention the early birthday presents I got!!!! My Mom got me new running shoes (I'm so excited!)!! I also got a sweater from her, shorts and a doxie book from Kim, and a fun apron from Lauren! Thanks everyone! =)
Easter Sunday was fun. Matt and I went to church while Mom went with the Harts to their church. Then everyone came to Brooklyn to have an Easter feast! We broke out the grill for the first time of the season on this gorgeous day. We made avacado chicken, sweet potato fries, asparagus, and fruit salad. It was a delicious meal. I'm looking forward to leftovers! =) We ate, hung out, then took a walk to the playground up the street from us where Zoe got plenty of "underdogs" from Grandma on the swings.
All in all it was such a fun weekend. Went by WAY too fast, but was a blast! Thanks for coming, Mom! =)
