Date Nights

We have been making an effort lately to try to spend one-on-one time with each girl.  So on Monday nights we get our nanny to stay a bit later and we take one out for a quick dinner.  The girls have enjoyed it so much and are always excited when it is there turn.  They even pick out their own clothes and get dressed up for us.  I love our individual time with each girl, we really get to focus on their personality and listening to what they have to say.  We usually splurge a little and get them dessert too.  Each girl has now been out twice with us, here are some cute pictures from our outings.

Emma's first outing, we went to Smashburger and got hamburgers (a salad for me) and milkshakes.  She also found a penny on the floor and wanted to show it off in her photo.

 

 

 



On Olivia's first outing we went to Home Depot where she had fun riding on the lawn mowers and pretending she was driving.  Then we went to BT Burgers and she got a hamburger and a little sundae.

















Savannah's first outing with us was to Newk's she got a turkey sandwich and a cupcake afterwards but she was a little fussy that day.  She really enjoyed her second outing to Red Lobster.  They offered to let her touch the lobsters in the tank but she said 'no'.  She had some cheddar biscuits, macaroni and cheese, and broccoli.

 

 

Carowinds

Since our trip to Disney the girls have been playing 'Disney' at the house.  They talk about it all the time and really seemed to enjoy the rides.  Since we live so close to an amusement park ourselves we decided to take them to Carowinds this year.  We decided to go on a Friday after they got out of preschool in hopes that most kids would still be in school and it wouldn't be crowded.  Well I have to say, we played that right.  We did not have to wait in line for any of the rides and were able to continue riding as long as we wanted.  The girls had such fun and there were a lot of things that they could ride.

They got tired pretty fast though so we only stayed a few hours.  Unfortunately that meant that Scott and I didn't get to do any 'big' kid rides.  I am sure we will go back lots this spring so hopefully one of those times will be by ourselves to do the big rides.

Here are a few pictures of the girls.

Birthday Party Fun

The girls were invited to Sterling and Lincoln's fourth birthday party.  The girls have had play dates with the twins since they were about 2 years old so it is fun to watch how close the 5 of them are and how much they love hanging out.  It was such a great party, they hired a clown for the party and she was great.  I think this is the first time the girls have seen a clown up close so they were a little nervous before we got there asking about the clown and if it would be scary.  She was definetly not scary and they all got their face painted by her.  They really enjoyed the magic show that she did, it was cute to watch how interested they all were.

Here are some cute pictures.
