Weekend In Iowa

Recap of our weekend...

*Watched Meet Me in St. Louis with my mom and Kendra on Thursday night. Made fun of all of the cheesiness as always. Yet we still love that movie!

*Woke up earlier than Daniel yesterday. Jacob brought him upstairs when he woke up and we both sang "Happy Birthday" to him!

*Ate breakfast.

*Kendra and I ventured out to Kohl's. I had gotten a $5 off promo card and mom had gotten $10 off. Plus we had a 15% off coupon. They all said the could be combined with other offers! Kendra found a Carter's outfit for Daniel that says, "Cool like my Auntie" and then I found a hat and mittens that match Daniel's coat. The line was really long, but they were super fast and we got through in 10 minutes! Scored $20 worth of stuff for $4! It was so worth it!

*Came home and put the Birthday Boy down for an early nap. He was fussy, so he missed out on Thanksgiving dinner.

*Grandma T. showed up as I was putting Daniel down.

*Had turkey dinner. It was delicious!

*Daniel woke up and he opened his presents. He scored lots of toys, books and clothes. He loves opening gifts. I loved when he opened a stuff animal from Grandma T. He pulled out the tissue paper and threw each piece individually. Pulls out the puppy, and chucked it too! He saw a little piece of cardboard lying in the bottom of the box and wanted that! Silly boy!

*Took a break while Dad and Jacob napped and then did the whole cake thing. It was just as amusing as the first time!

*Kendra helped me give Daniel a bath.

*Hung out all night with the family.

*Today Grandma T. headed home around 10:00. She had so much fun spending time with Daniel and he really likes her too. He showed off his walking skills for her (and for Grandma S. too). He is getting better and better each day.

*Mom, Kendra and I went to my friend Tracy's baby shower. I had a great time! I got to catch up with some friends from high school which was a lot of fun too!

*We all went to the new Chick fil a for supper. YUM!

*Then we came back and played Apples to Apples. I didn't win either round. Sadness.

*Just put the Bubber's down to sleep.

*Now we're chillin'.

We're heading back home tomorrow. Partially ready, but I'm never fully ready. I always hate to leave. Darn you Iowa...why do I have to love you so much?
