What a fun holiday gathering we had at Garcia's for MNO. We each brought a gift under $15.00 to exchange and "Steal" from each other. It was a lot of fun and we all left very happy. The funnies gift was an actual "white elephant". We enjoyed the delicious Mexican food, margaritas, and a few of us ended the night with sopapillas.

December Business Meeting

What a fun meeting we had wrapping presents for our "Singleton Moms" family. We had lots of Santa's helpers and enjoyed the yummy breakfast pot luck after we finished the meeting. The kids had a great time playing and making foam candy canes and trees. I think they enjoyed the Christmas donuts more though. Hope to see you at next months meeting.

Yummy treats!

All the gifts we got from donations and our funds!

November MNO

For the last three days we have gone to the Horizon Bay Nursing Home for a very fun service project. The kids get dressed up in their Halloween costumes and parade around the sitting area. Lots of the residence come down to see them before lunch and we all have fun interacting. We had a great turn out again this year and lots of cute costumes! Looking forward to doing this again next year!

Mom's Morning Out

This last month we tried something new for our MNO activity. Instead of heading out for the evening we decided to get together in the morning. 5 of us went to the Country Cottage Café & Gift Shop in Gilbert. The atmosphere is so much fun and the food was delicious. We had a great time catching up and enjoyed a relaxing brunch.

Friends and Food...great combination!

MOMS NIGHT OUT well actually AWAY!

For moms night out this month a few of us Moms went to a local resort. They were having such great end of the summer discounts at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass that it was too good to pass up. We had a great room with a view of the pool, golf course, and mountains. We enjoyed the beautiful pool area and water slide that afternoon. That night we took the little boat ride to the casino and had dinner there and lost a few bucks gambling. It was so nice to sleep in and we enjoyed breakfast around the pool again and some more fun in the sun. It was hard to go back to reality, but we all missed our little ones. :)
