February Fun!

February is a time for birthday parties in our family! This weekend Grandma and Grandpa came to visit so that we could go to a friend's party on Saturday night. The weekend started with a night out to eat-- a rarity for us. It's Lent and Grandpa needs to eat healthy, so we took you out to Deadwood for some healthy grilled fish. When we go out to eat, we feed you on our laps or in your car seats while we wait for our food. While we wait, you play with toys. (The trick is to ask for the check WHILE we eat, because you get really tired of sitting by the time we get done eating.)

We went to the mall on Saturday-- Grandpa strolled you around as you gazed starstruck at all around you! You literally don't move when you have so much to soak in. (Mommy spent time shopping for herself for the first time since she lost all 65 lbs of her pregnancy weight.) After the craziness of the mall, you spent the entire evening with your grandparents-- a first for your parents. We had left you with sitters before, but not for the entirety of your evening and bedtime routine. You were angels again, and your parents had a very nice evening out! Thank you dear daughters! 

To round out the weekend, we went to Vinny's for his 8th birthday party! This turned out to be a little bit of a disaster, as you fell asleep in the last 10 minutes of a 40 minute drive and didn't sleep the rest of the day. But we got to see Aunt Gina, Uncle Matt, your cousins & Uncle Michael. It was the first you slept in the car seats not in the car-- so tired! 

Such a great weekend!
