Dan’s company had a holiday party at the McLean Hilton this year, and it was grand! It’s nice to get dressed up and go somewhere without the kids once in a while, and we thoroughly enjoyed the festivities!

Main course of filet mignon. My favorite part, though, was the ginormous cocktail shrimp they had among the hors d’oeuvres (not pictured). Heaven for a shrimp lover like me!

My favorite kind of bar = a hot chocolate bar! Dan got the Olaf and I got the Elsa and they were both amazing.

Chocolates from Dan's company... I'm just going to ignore the fact that I have a dentist appointment later today. #sweettooth — Chocolates from Dan’s company as a gift for him helping them prepare for the party. Yum!

I’m thankful that Dan is such a hardworking husband and father — it’s thanks to him that we can provide for our girls, and we can enjoy company events like these from time to time. His company and his team are so wonderful too, and he loves his work — I’m so happy for him that he found this opportunity that brought us back to the East Coast two years ago.

On June 21, we attended the annual family picnic that’s hosted by Dan’s company. Mio had a blast last year but I was in Philadelphia visiting a friend that weekend so was unable to go. I was really glad that I could attend this year for the first time and join in all the family fun! 🙂

Mio with her caricature — Does it look like her? 🙂

Mio in the bounce house — After we ate some food (which was delicious!), Mio immediately gravitated towards the bounce house.

That's our climber! — That’s our climber!

Coming down the slide of the bounce house!

Mio on a pony ride — Mio really wanted to go on the pony ride. When it was over, she asked if she could “ride more” and the staff let her go a second time around.

Mio at the petting zoo — They even had a petting zoo area! Here’s Mio holding a baby duckling.

Mio and I waiting for face painting — Waiting in line for face painting.

Mio getting her face painted. Love her scrunched up expression! lol

Mio with her face painted — The result! She really wanted the kitty cat face for some reason… lol. To me, it looks more like a tiger.

Mio looking at herself in my phone camera:

Mio with her balloon heart — She got a balloon heart wand made, too! She initially asked for a ninja turtle but the balloon artist couldn’t make it.

Dan rode the human gyroscope. Just watching him made me dizzy!

Enjoying Italian ice! My sweet tooth loved it. 🙂

Mio in the moonbounce — Mio in another moonbounce. She couldn’t get enough of them!

We love that Dan’s company hosts such fun, family-friendly events, and this picnic is definitely something that we all look forward to every year. We thoroughly enjoyed all the food, activities, games and rides!

Company Picnic

While I was in Philadelphia last weekend, Dan’s company had their annual family picnic on Saturday. He took Mio along and she had a blast! I’m so glad he took all these pictures so that I could see all the fun and share a little in the experience!

Mio loved all the toys and goodies they gave her.

...someone special caught her eye! — …someone special in the distance caught her eye!

Elmo!!! She immediately ran over. (She’s been obsessed with Elmo latley.)

Getting a hug from her favorite character.

Petting a Peking duck. — Petting a Peking duck… yes, that kind. Who knew something so delicious is also this cute?

She even touched the tail! Definitely braver than her mama.

Mio received a balloon animal in the shape of Elmo!

Mio also had a blast in the moonbounce! It was her first time in one!

She also found Big Bird and Cookie Monster!

She kept photobombing other kids' pictures. — She kept photobombing other kids’ pictures.

It was a hot day, and she loved cooling off in the mist.

Mio had so much fun that afternoon that she conked out immediately once they got back in the car to go home. I’m glad she could have such a fun time with Daddy even while I was away! The picnic looked like so much fun and I hope that I can go with them next year! 🙂
