First Annual Twilight 5k Run

Sooooo, in spite of a dreary weather day Ferguson's First Annual Twilight 5k Run went off without a hitch.  Over 600 runners and walkers gathered at Florissant Rd. and Suburban to support the effort to "Live Well".  And of course, the Catty Kitchen didn't miss the chance to make an appearance.

Pre-Race birthday celebration

Free beer samples, although I am not sure how this is 'living well' prior to race running, but it sure was tasty.

Another "Live Well" faux pas.........pre-race sugar cookies

The starting line..........

The finish line....somewhere along the way we picked up cocktails and a cake.

Jenna's post-race beautification

Finally, we made it to the new Hill Brewing Co. for post race beers and eats.  Good job to the city of Ferguson for hosting cool events for your residents to participate in.  Woot!

Happy Birthday You Butthead!

Jenna's 26!  Time for a Catty birthday revelation, congregation, separation of church and station, CELEBRATION!  But let's back up for a second.

For whatever reason, birthday season seems to be passing us swiftly this year with all of us left exhausted in its path.  We have been ill-prepared for three birthdays so far this year and we still have two more to go.  Hence the reason J-Fer is up there hurriedly trying to finish one of Jenna's presents-a homemade bath mitt/scrubbie.

J-Fer also took on the task of cake making for our birthday queen-dirt cake with a worm race to celebrate the Ferguson twilight run (post to follow).  It looks like Jennifer's Microsoft Paint pictures.

In the meantime, birthday girl decided it might be time for an outfit change....

She seriously brought two extra outfits, flat iron, hairspray and all kinds of other tricks to keep her looking magnificent throughout the day.

Today's lucky birthday girl scored a bath bomb, bath mitts, bath beads (what can I say, she is kind of stinky), homemade coasters, homemade Rocky Road, Bounce dryer bar (don't ask), adorable reusable grocery tote and her Christmas gift from Jennifer.....a hand-glazed frog to match her bathroom.

Happy Birthday Jenna!!!!  We love you very much.

JENNA!!!

Up next on the Birthday trail is our sweet Jenna Marie!

We are very excited to celebrate this little princess. In addition to the traditional special girls night, The Catty Kitchen has signed up for the Ferguson Twilight 5k, which is the day before Jenna's birthday. I'm sure there will be a little something in her honor that night as well. You'll just have to check back and see...
