Back in November we had a yard sale and we told the girls we would go out to eat and to the movies with the money we made. I also made some cookies for them to sell and they made about $25. By the time they put some in their piggy banks and saved some for church, the older two had $5.00 to spend. Well, it turned out there weren't any movies playing that were appropriate and I had seen the fair was in town. We told them we weren't going to the movies but we had a surprise that was even better. Of course they couldn't believe anything would be better than the movies but we promised it would be. Helen LOVES surprises - I mean if you tell her to close her eyes for a surprise, she will close them tight and NOT peek at all! So we went to Smokin Pig which they love but it's all the way on the other side of town so we rarely go. They kept asking where we were going but we wouldn't tell them. As soon as Helen saw the lights she kept asking if that was where we were going and we told her it was. They were so excited, they started screaming! We didn't think Aubree would know what it was but as we were walking in from the parking lot, she kept squealing and saying how excited she was! I really think that is the most excited she has ever been about anything! Allisyn of course didn't have a clue and she was kinda tired already so she isn't smiling very much in the pictures. These are some of the best pictures I've gotten of Aubree, though - if you have ever tried to take a picture of her, you know why, haha. (She has gotten much better about getting her picture taken though, as long as she is in the right mood :))
Every ride was their favorite until we made them ride the next ride, then that became their favorite!
I love that they are holding hands in this picture! Aubree gets kinda scared in things like this but Helen always takes care of her! One time we went to Chuck E. Cheese and Aub followed Helen all the way to the top of the jungle gym thingy. Then she was too scared to follow her back down so Chris had to climb up there and get her! It was pretty funny!
I think this is one of my favorite pictures of Aubree ever! Just pure happiness!
I don't know about Chris but this was one of my favorite "parenting moments". I knew the girls would be excited and have fun, but I had no idea they would be THAT excited! It is an awesome feeling when you bring that much joy to your children! It might have been even better than Christmas. Maybe. Or it might be a tie :)
