11/20/10 - Date Night!!

Oh boy, it’s date night for us!!! Christian and I have not been out together, just the two of us, in a very, VERY long time. We went to see George Lopez in March, and before that, who knows. We haven’t even been out period since before Amelia was born. It was long overdue. My mom very generously offered to come babysit the girls, and even gave us a little spending money, so we could go out for a little while. YAY.

The day started out well. We all had breakfast together and spent the whole morning together, just hanging out. While the girls napped, Christian ran to get the last of the plastic we need to finish the windows, and I started getting ready for our big date! He quickly got ready when he got home, my mom came over around 5:00 and we were off. We decided to just head to the Mall of America since it’s so cold out, and there was plenty to do there. We started off with a game of mini-golf…it was packed…and, Christian may or may not have won. I will not say. However, he did get a hole in one on the last hole, which won us a free game on our next visit! YAY. After golf, we stopped into a new mix-your-own frozen yogurt place and got a yummy before-dinner treat. We stopped into Carter’s to get the girls’ Christmas Dresses, then finally were off to dinner. We ate at a Mexican place in the mall and just hung out chatting for a while. I had a Pina Colada, and with my lovely post-pregnancy tolerance level, I was pretty tipsy :) After dinner, we just went home. The weather was supposed to be turning bad, and we didn’t want to be out super late anyway. We got home around 8:30. Amelia woke up right when we got home, so we hung out with her for a bit, then put her back down. Then, we just watched a little TV together and called it a night.

So, nothing super exciting, but just what we needed! Here’s a cute picture of the girls this morning, and a picture of us on date night! Oh, how fun.
