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!!

Weekend at Gammy & Pappy's

Annabelle spent the weekend with her Gammy and Pappy.
Collin and I wanted to go on a date Friday, and then decided to have a marathon cleaning day on Saturday.
Nothing much more than that...except missing our girl.

Pictures from their weekend {All pictures send to me from mom's phone}:

New friend...George!

Napping

She had such a good time with her grandparents...but we sure were glad to have her home! Mom and Dad also had Gracie Saturday night. Mom said Annabelle could not stop kissing her in Babies R Us.
Sunday night, we had a family dinner at our house. It was very relaxed and nothing fancy.

On a Random Note:
Wednesday nights we have been attending a Bible Study with some friends. The kids do so well while we are talking! Laurice brings a DVD player and we set them up with movies and snacks.
I got this cute picture of them watching {Annabelle's FAVORITE movie} Tangled last Wednesday :)

It's FRIDAY!

I LOVE Friday's! I get to wear jeans, work isn't as crazy, and 2 days off! What could be better!
Well, I'll tell you what can be better! Tonight Collin, Annabelle,  and I are going to take dinner to a couple in our smallgroup that had a baby about a week ago, and I get to cuddle that newborn! There is nothing like holding a newborn! So excited! I love our smallgroup and that we are all in the same place in life! We can share advice, tell stories, have Bible study, and watch our little ones play and grow up together!

Tomorrow, Collin and I are dropping Annabelle off at her Great Aunt's house to spend the afternoon. We are going to have an afternoon all to ourselves! To do whatever we want! So excited! We'll probably get crazy and go to Target...oooooooooooooh! HA! It will be nice to spend some quality time together!

Sunday, we are attending Aurora's 6th (!) birthday party. I cannot believe that girl is 6 years old! I seriously remember waiting at the hospital and holding her for the first time...love that girl!

Very exciting weekend coming up! I promise to post pictures soon...I still haven't got the party pictures back, and I haven't taken to many pictures lately and what I have are still sitting on the camera.
I promise to download them soon!
