Happy Weekend

It was such a great weekend after our very loooooonnnnnggg week. It was a rough week at our house with Audrey having her ear infection. The doctor mentioned at her appointment last week that she was the perfect storm with a double ear infection, a cold, and teething. Every night from the minute she got home from daycare until bedtime, which is only an hour, but seemed much longer, she would cry. It was terrible and very draining on Brent and I. On Friday night after she went to bed I just thought, is this every going to end, her medicine has to be kicking in. Not to mention the fact that her medicine made her constipated, ugghhh, fix one problem, get a new one. Saturday when Audrey woke up she was a new girl, well, actually just back to herself. It was awesome. We enjoyed a fun filled day at Nickelodean Universe at the Mall of America thanks to my parents and we checked out the Body Exhibit there, which was very interesting. We timed everything just right, we wore Audrey out on the rides and then had lunch and she slept through the body exhibit.

Today we went to church for the first time in a long time because it was the children's Christmas Program. Audrey lasted about 5 minutes in church. She is a hard age to sit still, so she hung out in the nursery the whole time. Then it was time to leave and she freaked, she was having so much fun with all kinds of new toys. I did some annual Christmas baking today with my mom and it was great as always. We have tons of Christmas goodies now. Even Lucy and Heidi came over to sample some of our treats and hang out.






Brent and I had to try out this coaster, it was freaky. I forgot the camera, so thank goodness Grandma remembered hers.

Audrey's favorite ride, the Big Riggs! She loved it because their was a steering wheel and horn. Grandpa Dan was so proud!

Much better ride on the carousel then our first one at Como Zoo, she was not into it then.

We were the only passengers on the train.

Dora the Explorer bus ride, it was my favorite kiddy ride:)
