One of my favorite outings each year: our Christmas afternoon with Alice! This year we went after New Year's, because we had to wait for CC to finish Drivers Ed. Unfortunately, that meant the gingerbread house exhibit that we usually visit afterwards was gone, but we still had a great time.
Sweet Pea went back and forth between several books, but ultimately picked The Summer of Broken Rules. CC was agonizing -- there are so many books she wants! -- but she selected the first book of the Crescent City series, which is on her "To Be Read" list. And although Little Man was initially disappointed that they didn't have any Zelda books in stock, he was excited to find a Minecraft book that he hadn't read yet.
Afterwards we had a nice lunch at our usual place. CC is always excited to get ribs, because there aren't very many restaurants we frequent that offer ribs! Pepere came with us, because he had been visiting for New Year's (and his birthday!), and we were so happy to include him in our adventure.
Lastly, I asked Alice to take a picture of me and Pepere with the kids. And then my dad took a picture of me with Alice. I don't think we've taken a picture together since my baby shower in 2011!
