5/14/11 - 50 Years!

Today was a pretty good day. It didn't start off that way, with a 6:30AM wake up call, but I think that was because Olivia had to go potty, so I'll take an early wake up if it means successful potty training!! She actually had a really great day potty training, no accidents, she even went when we were out in public (after several false alarms, of course). So, it was a great day on that front. Not so great was shortly after waking up, Olivia was walking around with a glass of water, tripped, and spilled it all over the cable box...of course, frying it out. Oops. Luckily, I apparently agreed to one of those "pointless" service plans when I signed up with Dish Network, so we actually get a replacement box, completely free! Awesome! Just have to survive a few days of no TV upstairs, and endless kids movies until the new box arrives. LOL

I spent the morning home with the girls, while Christian was off to get an oil change and his tires rotated. Once he got home, we got the girls down for a nap, and got ourselves ready for the day. They didn't take a very long nap, but just long enough for us to get ready, so that worked out. Then, we were off to my aunt and uncles 50th wedding anniversary party. 20 Years! I can't even imagine that...WOW! Definitely something to aspire to, and look up to. It was nice to see some family that we NEVER see, especially since we'll miss out on this summer's family reunion. Olivia had so much fun being around other kids, and Amelia was quite a hit, so we had a lot of free time while everybody else drooled all over her! YAY.

After the party, we headed home and just kind of settled in for the night. It was pretty rainy/gloomy/chilly all day, so there wasn't a ton to do. We were both pretty exhausted once we finally got the girls to bed, so it was not a late night for us at all. Party animals!

Here's a picture of Amelia, enjoying a mini-cheeseburger for dinner. LOL, we're great parents!
