We had more time after Christmas to spend together. We did much of the same things with some outtings inbetween.

Molly and Frank did a double date with us while Nana watched all 4 kids!  We went to dinner at a seafood/chicken retaurant, very fancy.  After sharing a bunch of appetizers and walking around the mall a bit we went to Ross and Molly and I modeled dresses for the guys.  It was alot of fun to shop and try fun stuff on.  We found some great bridesmaid dresses and wore em matching for the guys.  They were crimson, fitted and  a steal of a deal but we both didn't have anywhere to wear them to.  We settled for a cheap dress in red plaid, that I wanted to turn into a hot shirt with the sewing machine, and a pair of shoes.  On the drive to the video store we noticed one of my new earings was missing.  Molly got me earings for Christmas and it was very disappointing to have lost it. It must've come off in the dressing room.  We were pretty far away now and so we didn't go back for it. Molly and I were both pretty upset.  At the video store we found movies for like 3 bucks each.  It was a treat to get some to take home.  On cold snowy nights something new is always nice. 

After being gone so long Nana was still doing well with the kids.  We drove back to watch a movie there with everyone.  We watched  a movie about girls stealing money, it had Katie Holmes in it, I forget what it was called.  It was cute.  After that the kids went to bed and we watched another movie. That one wasn't so good and it got thrown out after sadly.  Buying instead of renting has it's ups and downs.  Bedtime.

Going out is always nice because we can get everyone together with no distractions.  We tried to goto a park for family pictures but Papa had to do a school bus trip that day.  We went anyways and got some fun pictures and saw some animals.  Joie and Fox were kinda tired but handled it well.  We got some really fun pictures even if the cow wouldn't cooperate.  The kids had fun yelling and running around the cylo, or however you spell that.  Our attempt at our own family pictures again weren't great because of sleepy kids. They were pretty worn out from all the activity.  We'll get some good ones later this year.
