Before I get too far behind, I need to get caught up. Last week was Dylan's birthday and we took both Dylan and Reagan to Northpark to see Santa. Of course we knew it would take a while, but we didn't realize just how long it would take. From the time the McCoy's pulled our tickets, to the time we could actually get in line took a little over 3 hours. Then once we got in line, saw Santa and then purchased our pictures, another hour went by. So about 4 hours at Northpark for a Santa picture, but I was determined to get one since last year we didn't even attempt it. I knew she would scream and hate every minute of it, but who doesn't have that screaming Santa picture?!
Before
After
That night we all met at Picasso's Pizza and Grill for Dylan's birthday dinner.
And then Saturday was the big party! They had it at Little Gym which was great and Dylan had almost 20 kids there celebrating with him!
Reagan was more interested in eating than playing.
Then the next week my sister came in town for a few days. We didn't really take any pictures for some reason, I think we were just enjoying hanging out together.
Monday we went to one of our favorite lunch spots, La Madeleine's. I hadn't had it since I have been back in town and it was everything and more that I remembered. So delicious. We shopped a little that night, got a few things for my upcoming shower and tried to knock out some Christmas shopping.
Tuesday we headed to Northpark for lunch at Corner Bakery, which was extremely packed and it was a Tuesday! We couldn't eat and get out of there fast enough. I think every child enrolled in choir was there doing a performance and they all had their families in to watch. It was already a mess! So we left there and headed to Nordstroms Rack across the street, which was much better except we didn't really find anything. After that we had one last stop, Pottery Barn in the Galleria. Sister had to return a lamp she bought online and they don't have one near her. I knew I was pushing Reagan's nap time, but we were so close and I didn't want to have to drive out there the next day, so we just decided to go quickly. On the way Reagan had a screaming fit. She got so worked up she starting choking & throwing up in her seat. I pulled over on 635 to the shoulder, grab her out and make sure she is okay. All while she is still throwing up. Soothe her, take off her clothes, sister gets in the drivers seat and we take off again. We were at the Galleria exit, so while she runs in, I am trying to clean up as much as I can with wipes. I leave her out of the seat because it was soaked and just ride home with her in my lap. Poor thing fell asleep in about a second and was out for almost 3 hours.
Just when I was having a terrible day, somehow my sweet husband managed to send me some flowers. Fed Ex arrived and there were these beautiful tulips.
That night I started having my first bit of Braxton Contractions. I don't really remember getting them this early with Reagan, but since this time I am so low I am not surprised.
Wednesday we drove out to almost Denton so she could look at some new furniture. It was a really cute rustic place and the prices were great. We stopped and had lunch at Cheddars and then called it quits for the day. I had been cramping again all day and I was just uncomfortable.
She left Thursday morning and that's about it! We don't have any plans this weekend, maybe a little Christmas shopping, if I can stand the crowds and the cramping. I would way rather order everything online problem is, I don't really know what I am looking for. I have to go out and just browse. Next weekend we are heading to College Station for Sister's graduation, and then after that Darrin comes home, then it's Christmas!
