What a weekend!

K's weekend started perfectly... Friday night we rushed home from school to open a package Mommy sent K from Nordstrom. Two winter twirly skirts. We have been swapping them all weekend but can't take them off. I think we will have to do laundry in the middle of the night when she is not wearing them... Gma S came over and played with K while T and I went out to dinner with S&R.

And on Saturday T took me to get a feel better present at the mall only to find Santa there already... and cookies and hot cocoa. K was thrilled... especially as we went out for dinner in downtown PA and afterwards took K to the Creamery for the first time. She probably thinks she found heaven. We got a couple scoops of ice cream and sat at the bar twirling on the chairs.... How great a restaraunt where you don't have to sit still and they only give you ice cream.

Sunday we went over the hill for our annual holiday photo shoot and met S&R for lunch. K was thrilled to be with both of them, but particularly R. She spent most of the time following him around well everywhere! After we split up we took K to Bad Ass coffee for some playtime as it is a very kid friendly coffee shop with a matted tumbly jumpy area before finally going off to the beach for the pics. K was a superstar and really loved the post photo play time at the beach. We finished what may have been one of the most perfect family days in quite a while at Ristorante Avanti, where K had her first three course kids meal... Who even knew they had prix fixe menus for kids, but K loved it and finished every bite. And who knew Mommy can order soup at every single restaraunt we dine at in an attempt to keep the food down. On the plus side since we ate out this weekend more than we typically do in a month this helped to keep the caloric intake down.
