Lainey's Lettuce Party


About a month ago, Lainey went to visit her friend Grace's grandmother's house. We call her Nanu. Lainey was instantly in love with the house and especially the pool in the backyard. She immediately started planning a celebration to be had at Nanu's house. It would include a menu of lettuce, hamburgers and grilled cheeses for the kids.

Nanu (Debbie Burns) was incredibly kind and indulged Lainey with a real-life party. It was called Lainey's Lettuce Party. We had lettuce, grilled cheeses and wraps for the moms. Four friends and their moms came to the party. We left our little children with sitters so we could focus on the bigs and actually visit with each other.


The top picture is Abby and Lainey. Just moments before Lainey had a complete meltdown because Abby got a float out of the water before she could get to it. I am glad the drama was over something so big.

The Lettuce Party girls: Lainey, Lily, Abby and Grace.


Here are the moms! Don't we look excited to not be in the pool carting around all the children?

Thank you Nanu for being so kind to my daughter. She loved every second (minus the float incident) of the party. Thank you for opening your home for us to enjoy a swim, a delicious lunch and even better company. We love you.
