While we were out of town this past weekend, Mom E. watched the kids the whole weekend. We just wanted to give her a special shout out and a big THANK YOU to her for doing that. If we didn't have someone watching the kids, we couldn't have gone anywhere this past weekend. The kids were both really looking forward to spending the night at Grandma's house and they always look forward to staying with her. It is so important for them to get that bonding time.
So, on Wednesday, we went to a local furniture store and donated some books. They had a promotion that if you bring in two children's books to donate to local children in need, they give you two vouchers for free tickets to Sesame Street Live that was coming to Madison. So Nolan and I ventured out to get some books and stopped to get the vouchers and donate them. While we were there, we signed up for an extra drawing and raffle for backstage passes to meet the characters, front row tickets, and more fun. Well... guess what... we won! We got a call on Friday and we needed to pick them up then..So we ended up getting four free tickets, etc. to the show. ( Grammy picked up Lily at School on Friday for a special treat and we all went to pick up our tickets) The show was going on this past weekend while we were gone so Grandma Kim and Auntie Courtney took the kiddos to the show. They had a wonderful time. Grandma certainly kept the kids busy all weekend which was great. They had so much fun. McDonald's for dinner on Friday night, Cousin Brad's birthday party on Friday, Pancakes for breakfast Saturday, Elmo show on Saturday... toys, Nachos, and pretzels during the show, Special breakfast on Sunday, and then to the movie Tangled on Sunday afternoon.
THANK YOU GRANDMA KIM FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND...Love, Lily and Nolan! ( PS. We want to show Mommy and Daddy pictures of the Elmo Show so send them via email )
PS. Thank you to Courtney and Russell for snow throwing and shoveling our driveway on Saturday from all of that snow. We appreciate it more than you know!
