back in business

I do enjoy our comfy little house in the burbs but it's enough to drive a momma mad being cooped up for too long. With all our illnesses and B being out of town we haven't been out to do much lately. I'm happy to report we're back and we're on the go again! Phew - it was touch and go there for a while. Ok, maybe that's being a bit dramatic, but I needed to get back in the hustle and bustle.

Saturday morning we met up with the Davey's at Little Monkey Bizness. They recently opened a location in our neck of the woods. I prefer it to the Cherry Creek location and if you arrive early enough it's not very crowded. It's nice to have one close, but B is just a little bitter because he had been scheming with Keith to open up a location up north. You snooze, you lose, I guess. I guess he'll have to go back to selling knives (that's a joke for Anthony, if he's reading!). Anyway, the girls were thrilled to see their friend Chandler and they played hard.  Chandler and Annabelle are just a few weeks apart and started at daycare the same time. It's amazing to see how big these little monkeys have become.  The girls all hugged it out when we left and Gwyneth had so much fun with another little girl she met there she gave her a big ol' hug too!

Let's go play!

GG rocks those snow boots!

So very excited to go play with Chandler!

For Christmas, B's parents gave us a gift card for dinner and the request that we drop the girls off with them when we use it. We have met up with the Merrill's a few times since we've been back in Colorado and it's been great getting together with all our girls. Katie's parents live just a few blocks from B's parents so we all took advantage of the grandparent's offers to babysit and we were able to meet up for dinner sans the kiddos and catch up. Aaah, nothing like a double dinner date in Aurora! Oh, the good old memories that brings back....  We had a great time and it was really nice to meet up with Katie and Seth. The girls had a lot of fun with their grandparents. We're still trying to figure out how much sugar they were given....Annabelle talked and sang the entire way home about cookies and candy!
