Happy New Year!

Well, we brought in the New Year with a bang!  Gabe and I headed to Des Moines for New Years.  My sister (who never has any days off from being the manager of Buckle) had the weekend off! Whoo hoo!! She met us in Des Moines Friday night and we spent our night at the Blue Moon, which is a piano bar.  We had SO much fun and it was so nice to get away for a night!  Huge thanks to my parents for coming to stay over and play with Carson for the night--he had so much fun with Grandpa and Grandma!

The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out, relaxing, and having lots of play time and fun with Aunt Christin! Below are some pictures from the weekend!

 Carson loves getting into all my hair stuff and makeup brushes in the bathroom.  Well, he found Christin's makeup bag and would not leave it alone. . brushing Christin's hair

 What else do you have in there?

 Found the nail polish. . . and Aunt Christin couldn't say no. . Daddy however was not impressed :)

 He would look at his toes and say. . "pretties"  Yes. . he hangs with Mommy too much!

And don't worry. . the polish remover was used before bathtime!

 Wanna build a fort?

 The final product!

 Look at me! Loving the fort!

 Jumping on the cushions after the fort was down

 Just chillin!

I hope everyone had a Safe and Happy New Years!  Let the fun of 2011 begin!
