All Dressed Up!

Linnea got to have a sleepover at grandma and grandpa Henjum's this past Saturday night. We started the Saturday at Border's to listen the story How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Chris and I then left her with my parents. They had a good time playing and visiting great grandma. She went to church with grandma and me Sunday morning wearing this adorable dress (passed down from a friend...you know who are and thank you! It is perfect for the holidays and fits so well...9 months and all!)
We also put her on my old rocking chair after church for some pictures with this cute bear!
And then we thought we would get her acquainted with Santa Clause since she will visiting the jolly fellow next Friday before the Holidazzle Parade!
The reason she had a sleepover was so that mommy and daddy could have their first date night since she was born! We have done a few things without her but always with other people so it was very fun to get out just the two of us! We went out to eat at Dixie's on Grand which is one of our favorite places and I was very happy to learn they now serve Dixie Beer...which I could only ever find in New Orleans. Now if I could just find Abita Beer here in Minnesota!
This is the pretty Christmas tree outside of Dixie's. We walked around Grand Ave a little bit and got some cheesecake and coffee to go at Cafe Latte and headed home to watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It was a wonderful date night!
Sunday morning I was able to go for a run before heading to church to meet my mom and Linnea. I then brought Linnea to the city of Afton because they were having a little holiday celebration. It was very cute!
Chris stayed home to work on trim and crown moulding with Chuck. Pictures will be up soon! Along with pictures of our decorated house.
We ended the day with a few friends over for the Vikings Game and a homemade roast. It was a great meal...but so so great a game. Oh well.
