Little Friends and THREE Years

Wednesday was our 3rd wedding anniversary. What a special day! Two days before, I got a call from someone who had found my name in the seminary talent pool and needed a one day babysitter for her 10 month old son. It was perfect because it provided us with a bit of cash so that Mike and I could celebrate our anniversary out somewhere nice.

Logan had SUCH a great time with her new friend! I was a little nervous about having two 10 month olds for an entire day (he's 2 weeks younger than L), but it actually went surprisingly well. They got along great, shared the toys, played together, babbled to each other and had a really good time until about 40 minutes before his mom picked him up-- then they both wanted undivided attention and that wasn't happening. This little boy is already walking, so I was incredibly thankful to have just purchased the play yard to keep him in one place.

We watched the My Friends Tiger and Pooh Christmas special, because at a crisp 38 degrees, it was too cold to take them out, and it had both kids just captured them:


Later that afternoon, we received a big ol package from L's great grandparents. I think she was more interested in the box and popcorn than she was with all of the wrapped goodies inside:
Our wonderful neighbors came over and hung out with Logan while Mike and I went out to dinner for the first time, by ourselves, since Logan was 4 months old. It was glorious! We went to an all you can eat, create your own stir fry, Mongolian restaurant. You pick your meats, veggies, sauces, load them up and watch them grill it for you. SO YUMMY!

We sure did miss our little monkey, though! We were happy when we got home and got to snuggle her.
After she went to bed, we devoured this chocolate cake that was in a package Tita sent to us and we watched the new Harry Potter movie. It was just the perfect day!
