First Ice Cream Cone

On saturday we made the long drive over to the nearest REI and, lo and behold, it's nestled in this really awesome outdoorsy-feeling mall. We shopped to our heart's content...well until our wallet's limit really and then found surprise #1. Five Guys Burgers and Fries was right next door. mmmmmm It's awesome. and just in time for lunch.

Given the choice of Five Guys and Chic-Fil-A, Eden chose the latter...er rather, her mama did for her. So she had some chicken pieces while Brandon and I enjoyed greasy cheeseburgers. And because we're now at the point in our lives where we're interested in prices of kid's meals, we pay attention to details. Did you know you can exchange that little book insert in the kid's meal (that a 15 month old couldn't care less about) for a free ice cream cone?! Awesome surprise #2 of the day! because really that means we get to share an ice cream cone while Eden gets a lick or two. And she really enjoyed that!

Isn't she so cool in her first REI purchase? Pink sunglasses. She's stylin now. Especially with her oh so awesome matching pink Nalgene sippy cup. (quick insert for fellow parents: Nalgene sippy cups are by far the best sippy cups we've found. no leakage whatsoever. and the price is completely comparable to anything you'd find at Target) *end blog commercial*

Thanks for sticking with us through the blue blogging days. Since Eden got the pepto-bismol pink background for her "It's a Girl!" announcement, we thought it only appropriate that baby boy get some blue background. He remains nameless at this point as we're still deliberating. But once we've decided, we'll be sure to let you know so you can monogram some burp cloths and what not. :)  He's being spoiled already though by sweet neighbors and eager grand parents and has accumulated a few trucks and frogs and bears onesies. We're so blessed!
