Garland!




What a great day!

Early in the day we went to a playdate/nature walk at Tanya's house. Love these! Ruby does too! We bundled all up and walked through the mud and trees, so fun! Ruby was even able to get a bit of splashing in. Elsie didn't enjoy being in her snowsuit, but at least it kept her warm.

Later, we met up with Mike in the Garland District. So exciting! While we waited for him to arrive, we walked into some of the little shops and looked around at their unique items. I saw an awesome necklace made of glass, beautiful!

We went over to the Milk Bottle, a restaurant shaped like a milk bottle that makes everything from scratch. Ruby ordered a hamburger and fries and I ordered a pita filled with yummy veggies and cheeses. I also ordered for Mike too since so his order would be ready when he arrived. Everything was wonderful. Elsie chewed on a ice cream cone for a bit too, she loved that. Ruby ate most of her hamburger--the first one she has ever eaten. She wanted a cone, so she was very excited when we got her one before leaving. She picked mint chocolate chip. Yum!

We then walked around a bit more with the girls before heading over to the Garland Theater to watch "The Princess and the Frog". Ruby was very excited and held both of our hands as we walked together to it. She loves to swing between us. The movie was really fun and I am glad we did it. Mike liked it too. Elsie was great, she munched on bits of popcorn and watched a bit of the movie, then nursed until she fell asleep. She is great in movie theaters! Ruby got slightly antsy toward the end, but stuck it out and enjoyed the ending. What a fun Thursday outing!

Ruby and Elsie make each other laugh so much. They just get going and going and going...it is so fun to hear them laugh back and forth over and over. Hard to not join right in! They spent a good hour doing this tonight. They love each other so much and I am very thankful for that!
