Michaela went to her 1st Dentist apt last Thursday. She did GREAT! The Dentist said that her teeth looked perfect and had no plaque!! She showed the Dentist her dog, Frolic, and told him that Frolic has a cavity...he looked in the dog's mouth and confirmed it...Poor Frolic. Michaela told the Dentist that she would help Frolic brush his teeth better =)
We started a new tradition this year...one that I have been wanting to do for a while, but had to wait until the girls got a little older, and one that we will SO do again! We went to Lancaster, PA on Friday, just Matt and I, and spent the night, and then did all our Christmas shopping up there and in one day!! It was GREAT. Mom and Dad kept the girls...THANK YOU SO MUCH!! (We really do appreciate how awesome you are to all 4 of us!!)
We lounged around the fabulous hotel, enjoying the indoor pool and hot tub, as well as the King suite that Matt booked!! We stayed at the Fulton Steamboat Inn and it couldn't have been more perfect. A direct route from our house, taking us only about 1 hr and 15 min. to get to and right across the street from the MANY outlets in Lancaster. We plan to stay there again and again!
Shopping was GREAT. We had it all planned out: A budget in mind, a list of who to buy for, plus some already thought out ideas of what to buy. It was so stress free knowing that we had NO girls to lug in and out of stores, strollers, and vehicles, and knowing that in one trip and one babysitting lined up, we would be finished!!
We completed what we set out to do....have a mini get away and knock out Christmas shopping! Thanks babe for setting this up for us to enjoy! I love you!!
Note about the picture...I wanted a shot of us, but it is very difficult to take one of me and Matt and with the height difference, get us BOTH in it...so, Matt's head is a little cut off...oh well =)
It's the MOST WONDERFUL time of the YEAR...the Christmas Season! We decorated for Christmas on Black Friday. The girls were SO EXCITED. Here they are intently watching Matt take one of our ornaments out of the box to get ready to put on the Tree!!
Friday night was Adventure Night (a monthly get together with childhood friends). We all met at Timothy's at the Riverfront in Wilmington. Dinner was great and the time together was awesome. A few friends were missing...we hope to see them in December. Anyway, shown here is Christine, Wendy (who is pregnant and you can't even tell...she is having a GIRL...there first baby!!!), Me, and Casey!! The husbands were there too, but this was just a Girl shot!!
The Indoor Children's Garden at Longwood is AWESOME! The girls LOVE it and thankfully, Madelin is now "big" enough to walk herself around and do a fairly good job at keeping up with Michaela. They LOVE to explore all the hidden nooks, paint with water, navigate around the flower garden maze, and sit and watch the water features "jump" from one place to another. We always love it here and have such a great time exploring.
