Let the Fun Begin!

Last weekend MiMi came down for our "jump start the holiday shopping extravaganza".  Ok, I just named it that, but we have been doing it for several years and it is really just a great excuse for some girl time.  This was the second year Ms. Priss was in on the fun and oh did she enjoy herself!

The first day we went to Holiday Magic and downtown Grapevine.  Here is our most successful group shot.  (You can even see little Marlie in this pic. Ha!)

 The one time she decided to smile and Mom and I were doing this.......

 Madie came home with a special cooking apron and a dancing baby.  Both she is quite fond of!  Thanks MiMi! - Day one - a success. 

 The next morning we woke up early and went to Frisco.  Mom and I LOVE the Stonebriar mall and decided to head over there and stay the night at the Embassy Suites close by.  Let's be honest, as much as we love the shopping, we love the coffee breaks, ice skating rink, people watching and this year - CUPCAKES!  We went to the neatest little spot in the mall.  This was the carriage inside.

 Picking out the sprinkles with MiMi

 This is going to be good!

 After hours and hours at the mall, we went to eat dinner at GattiLand.  Mom and I laughed about how choices change when you have a little one with you.  Ha! But Madie was in Heaven.  We then went to check in at the hotel, I think you can tell by her face what she thought about that!

 Going with MiMi to take back the cart.

 Painting our fingernails for the very first time!  I found this nail polish called Piggy Paint.  It is non-toxic - as natural as mud and comes out of everything.  Madie thought it was spectacular!

 Here we are the next morning headed down for breakfast!

We had such a great time, memories I will cherish forever.  Did we get much shopping done?  That's our little secret.  :)
