Great Weekend!

We had a great weekend...my mom and dad made a surprise trip down to help celebrate my birthday and get their hands on Addison.  They got in town Friday morning and left this morning, so we had a nice long weekend with them.

Friday afternoon we just hung around the house and played with Addison. She got some quality time in with Mimi and Peep.

Lots of smiles and giggles for Mimi...

But all that playing makes for a tired baby.

Reading with Grandpa Peep

Friday night John and I were able to break away for a bit and had a very nice dinner sans baby at a local Italian restaurant -- Tavola.  It was soooooo good!  We had the crostini for an appetizer.  It had pesto, goat cheese, prosciutto and fig compote on it.  I had the chop salad for my entree and John had a yummy pizza with HUGE meatballs on it.  And we ended our date night with a little frozen yogurt...at the birthday girl's request :)

Saturday we all went to the Home Show.  Crowded place to push a stroller around but Addison was happy watching everything that was going on.  We also went furniture shopping...again?!  You may have noticed a pattern, this is the third weekend in a row we've gone furniture shopping and even our guests are not exempt from this fun filled activity.  And if you are wondering we are still no closer to landing the plane on the great room furniture.  For dinner I made a recipe from my Food Network Recipe a Day Calendar...Chili Con Carne.  It was very yummy...

On Sunday the boys went to Lowes and did some little projects around the house and the girls went shopping.  Addison was a super shopper!  She fell asleep while we were in the first store and let us walk around the mall while she napped.  Who knew President's Day was such a good reason for a sale!  The weather was beautiful so it made walking around the mall great!  We even took a little stroll through the neighborhood once we got home and walked through several of the houses that are being built.

Addison and I took my mom and dad to the airport this morning and she fell asleep in her car seat on the way there.  I think she was a little disappointed when she woke up and everyone was gone and mommy was her only option to play with.
