A Night on The Town & Some Cute Gingerbread Houses
My hubby and I have had good intentions through the years to take our children out on individual “dates” but we haven’t been consistent in it at all. So we decided since we’re not doing that well taking them out individually, we’ll do it together. What I mean is Russell & I will go together with the child instead of just one of us going.
We’ve already gone on 2 dates this month. I could really get into this! I like eating out. 🙂 No cooking, no dishes… Are we on the same page?
First we went to Wal-Mart since Audrey wanted to go shopping.:) Shopping she did – all up and down the toy aisles v.e.r.y. s.l.o.w.l.y., pushing buttons on everything she saw. We finally had to prod her after about at hour, saying we should probably go eat.
Audrey wanted to eat at Golden Corral since they now offer cotton candy and they have a chocolate fountain. Ohhh, boy. Now, we’re talking. This is totally her language. 🙂
Then we were off to see gingerbread houses.
I thought this battleship was great but it didn’t even win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.
Here’s an up close picture of Santa. Can you see his breath? I thought that was clever.
Penguins Sledding
Notice the penguin on the back of the hill bungee jumping?
I thought this one looked homey.
This display did a great job depicting the Prescott courthouse and everything around it.
I’ve made a few gingerbread houses and it’s not as easy as it looks, not to mention it’s a lot of work, so I was impressed with everyone’s creations.
It was a lovely evening. Further updates on Audrey: she lost her 2nd tooth this week and she’s started her phonics program. My last baby has started school!

🙂 Audrey sounds similar to my younger siblings, while visiting the toy aisle. I think I, myself would go for the chocolate fountain!
Those gingerbread creations are very interesting!
Happy Holidays!

Joel does much better with spontaneous dates with the kids than I do. We tend to do most activities together, but it’s ALL of us. It really is special when we spend time with just one of the children.

We usually do things as a family, too.

These pictures remind me of growing up!
