Harry Potter at Studio Movie Grill!

When we saw all the Harry Potter films in the theater together, it was an amazing experience!

However, the final movie was sad for more reasons than those in the film.

We knew we would never again see HP on the big screen together!

BUT, we were wrong!!

Studio Movie Grill brought back the epic Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to the big screen for us!

This time we invited our husbands to join in the exciting film!

Watching the magic of the first HP movie was so special!

It was great to all be together for an event that almost only comes once a lifetime!

The gilded glory of Hogwarts appeared on the big screen!

The score and the lighting was just like a dream!

The food and drinks were pretty good, but the company and the film were amazing!

Ashley brought special pumpkin Russell Stover chocolates to enjoy and we all could just imagine they were pumpkin pasties on the Hogwarts Express!

Great twin night!

IUPUI Tour!

A lot has changed at our Alma Mater, IUPUI.

Ashley thought it was about time to show Emily and Victor the campus in all its renovated glory!

We started the evening at Noodles and Company on campus.

You can't go wrong with this classic, especially when you have a BOGO coupon!

Then we spent the rest of the evening walking about campus and seeing all the improvements!

The campus center, the Honor's lounge, and the bookstore were some of the major changes.

University College was renamed, Cavanaugh now has a tunnel, and the University Hotel is campus housing.

Not to mention the myriad of food choices and study areas now available to students!

So much has changed that it is almost unrecognizable!

What a great time reminiscing about old times at college and enjoying the ways IUPUI is moving forward.

Great twin night!

$2 Tuesday at the State Fair

We wouldn't miss a $2 Tuesday at the State Fair!

This year was no different!

We started the evening at the Indiana Beer and Wine Exhibition!

We had a lot of samples, but really were partial to a few wines!

The vendors seemed to bring mass market appeal sweeter products which are not really our cup of wine!

We still had a great time!

Of course we had to hit up the Ferris Wheel and elephant ears!

Great twin night!

Sisters Lunch and Shopping in Lafayette!

We had a great sister day in Lafayette!

First we met up with Natalie and Jack for lunch at Panera!

Victor was super excited to spend his first day out with his aunts and cousin!

Then we headed inside the mall and to Target for some shopping!

Jack was loving playing hats with Aunt Ashley at Gymboree!

He also thought it would be a good idea to try Aunt Ashley's sunglasses on for size at Target.

What a ham!

We had a great time all together!  Wishing we could do it everyday!

Great sister day!

Shakespeare on the Canal!

Shakespeare on the Canal presents, Twelfth Night!

The beautiful July evening air swept us away into this story of love, twins and people in disguise!

The warm summer air was no match for our crisp white wine and wonderful picnic!

We got amazing seats and watched the sun set over the White River!

Then the show began!

"The play centres on the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as a boy) falls in love with Duke Orsino, who in turn is in love with the Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man." - Synopsis from Wikipedia

Our favorite, Ryan Artzberger, was of course a show stopping success!

The evening was beautiful, the play was flawless, and to top it off: it was a play about twins!

We couldn't ask for more!

Amazing twin night!

Zionsville Concert Series

The Annual Zionsville Lincoln Park Concert Series has begun!

Aaron Ruben Nelson is sponsoring two of the concerts!

First we got some dinner at Red Robin then we headed to Zionsville!

We were excited to check out the Jeremy Vogt Band and do some marketing for our favorite funeral home!

Jennifer Williams and Greg Anema were on hand to get involved with the community event!

Our card table set up included brochures and promotional items.

The kids loved the fans and the bug spray was a great help in the wooded park!

The flowers added a touch of class and we were sure to mention we are the hometown mortuary!

The weather was perfect and there were a lot of community members camped out!

Jennifer walked through the crowd passing out promotional items with her classic smile!

Many attendees brought coolers and food for picnics!

People young and old were enjoying the soothing band!

Jennifer made her way easily through the crowd to make sure everyone got some bug spray!

Our ARN polos looked really great!

Great twin night with some live music in the park!

Jack's First Birthday!

Jack is One!

He had a wonderful Hungry Caterpillar first birthday party!

Natalie had the cakes specially made by Mama's!

They were absolutely perfect and so detailed!

Jack was all dressed up in his Hungry Caterpillar outfit!

He took a long nap before the festivities!

The decorations were amazing!

All the tables were decorated with themed tablecloths, there were colorful balloons, and Hungry Caterpillar critters and food cutouts galore!

The buffet was fit for a group and featured multiple banner displays!

Jack was excited to have his highchair decked out with a custom "I am 1" banner on a caterpillar!

The Marshalls were there to see all the fun and celebrate with their nephew!

The Schwindlers were also on hand for all the birthday merriment!

Sometimes it is the simple things that mean the most!

Jack really enjoyed playing with this cup!

And...playing with uncle Greg!

After some help blowing out the candle, it was time for the little guy to dig into his smash cake!

He really didn't want to get too dirty though!

Would you like a piece of my cake?

Jack really didn't eat much cake, but he did like licking the spoon!

Is this what I am supposed to do?

Then it was time for presents!

Jack was so excited to get lots of new toys!  He may need his own mini-barn!

The guests had take away bags with colorful sweets!

What a beautiful way to end such a sweet little boy's birthday!

Great times were had by everyone at this stylishly coordinated party!
