Gigi's Birthday

I will start by saying that Cort and I had such a nice time away on Saturday. We ended up staying in a hotel closer to home to save money, but it had a hot tub and pool and that is what I was really hoping for. We had a great dinner at PF Changs, went walking around Oakbrook, got ice cream for dessert from McDonalds, went swimming, watched a movie, slept without having to get up early, and even got to eat a hot breakfast topped off with a trip to Caribou. Plus Mia had a good time with my mom, and Grandma had a good time with Mia! What more could we ask for???

Today when we got back we celebrated Gigi's birthday. It was a nice relaxing afternoon (except when we tried to eat of course-back to reality) and after eating dinner, we took a walk. Speaking of birthdays, Mia received an early birthday gift from Sarah and Ian. She got a little red push car that she loves riding in!

This is what happens when you get Dairy Queen and try to eat it on the floor near two hungry girls who didn't want to eat dinner at dinner time (see above comments). Poor Sarah got swarmed. Look at these too clamoring to get a taste of her icecream. I will say this ended with Mia screaming when I cut her off from any more ice cream. She was then carried home and put to bed. :)
