Date Night! Cousin Sleepover! Family Day!

We had a wonderful weekend! We really didn't have anything planned, but ended up doing a lot of fun things!

Friday, Collin and I went our last date night with the third wheel :)

We ate a super yummy dinner at Plates, had dessert at 32 degrees, and looked around Belk and Target. We get super creative with our dates...ha!
Annabelle, however, was living it up! She got to have her very first cousin sleepover! She got picked up by Uncle, and had a big time hanging out with them!

Saturday morning, we got up and did a few things around the house. And around lunch time we picked up our girl! Both her and cousin were so sad to leave each other :( But we had a fun afternoon planned for Annabelle! I wanted to have some time just to focus on her and do fun things that she wanted to do.
So, we ate lunch at her favorite place...Chick Fil A! Then we headed to the mall. We had some time to waste, so we ended up in Bath & Body works. I needed some body spray, and Annabelle carefully picked out some hand sanitizer. She literally smelled at least 5 scents before settling on Strawberry :) We looked around some more, rode a few of the Quarter rides {that really aren't a quarter}, and then it was time!
Annabelle has never been to a movie before and we thought "Big Sister" Day would be the perfect time to take her...and she did SO GOOD! We saw Madagascar 3. Annabelle was pumped to have her own ticket and give it to the lady taking them. We got her popcorn, gummies, and pink lemonade...then we were set to go to the movie!

I think next time I'll wait till the previews are over to take her into the movie...some of them got a little scary/loud for her. She stayed in her seat for a little bit, then sat with Collin, then came and sat with me, and after a potty break, finish the movie in Collin's lap.

She loved the movie and will remember some of the parts :)
After the movie, we had to go grocery shopping...
And on the way home, Annabelle fell asleep...
When we got home, Collin decided to cut the grass...
So, I unloaded the grocery, did some food prep, and started dinner {Biscuit Pizzas...yum!}. Annabelle and I were finishing up dinner by the time Collin got back in.

Sunday, was the first Sunday of my mini break from preschool. It was so weird  not to have to rush to church. Annabelle slept until 9!!

"Hey mom...we have the same belly!"

We met mom, dad, and Gracie for lunch at Olive Tree...then had shakes at Sonic!

Then it was home for naps and home group!!

Annabelle meet Gracie, Gracie meet Annabelle

This past Saturday we got to go to Allen and Whitney's for Collin and Annabelle to meet Gracie. We had the best time! My parents were there, as well as my aunt. We had pizza for dinner and just visited and passed the baby around :) Gracie is such a sweet baby and didn't mind at all!

We have been snowed in at some friend's house since Sunday, and actually got back home yesterday. I haven't been able to make the trip downtown for work, but have been able to do some work from home. Collin went back yesterday, but said the roads weren't good at all.

Annabelle liked the snow better this time and actually walked and touched it :)

Cousins

Annabelle is so lucky to have a cousin just 3 months younger! Anna and Weston get along great...and I have LOVED watching them grow up together!

Laurice sent me this picture of the 2 of them last night, while we were at Home Group.

Sweet Cousins!

And come January, Annabelle will get another sweet cousin, Gracie. Annabelle is going to love "Mommy-ing" her! :)
