Milly Moment...

So, we had just filled our Advent Calendar FULL of chocolates for the month of December...
The next morning the girls and I were planning on making some hot chocolate in our new hot chocolate mugs! Well, I walked into the kitchen, and found THIS:

I asked Milly what in the world she was doing???
She simply looked up at me & said:
"Mommy, I makin' Hot Chocolate!"

ha ha ha! Well, I had to admit... she was VERY creative!
She had a literal understanding! (Amelia Bedelia?)

"Special -Time" weekend!

November 20th-November 23rd
Daddy & Milly get special time together

While Mommy & Ry Ry get some bonding time in DENVER!

We were off to see Jaimie Lynn!
Our trip started off with a fun plane ride with Lily. (Her & Ashley were going to see her sister who lived there too!) We had a blast together! These 2 girls were in heaven with all their treats.


It was so fun to see & spend time relaxin with our cousins Creed, and new baby Tylee:

This was Rylee's SPECIAL weekend, where she could have whatever she wanted...
Well, we found ourselves in this candy store. This was Rylee's first time in a candy store, and boy oh boy was it ExCiTinG!

We were SO lucky, because right as we walked out of the shop, Santa pulled up in a fire truck and stopped Right in front of us! He stepped right off & patted Rylee's back! Wow, Rylee was thrilled to see the real Santa.
We waited in line to sit on Santa's lap, and when it was Rylee's turn, she hopped right up there and wrapped her arms right around his neck & whispered in his ear what she wanted for Christmas! It was adorable.

Saturday, Jaimie Lynn took us for a fun day in downtown Denver for some shopping & lunch on 16th street:


We were totally spoiled, because we got to go to a
DENVER BRONCOS football game
& sit in the Lowrey's box suite!!!
It was a once in a lifetime experience. I became a little emotional as I stepped into that stadium; it was an incredible sight to see. It was amazing, huge, and the colors were so bright & beautiful! Wow. Rylee thought it was just great. She said to me: "Mom, I sure am a lucky little girl this weekend!" We had good food, our faces painted, broncos jerseys, pom poms... the whole experience! It was really fun.


The Bronco's were losin pretty bad, so towards the end, Rylee Jo got to do her favorite thing- HOLD BABY TYLEE!


But most of all, after all the fun things we did, Rylee said her favorite thing she did was hold Tylee! She LOVED when Tylee fell asleep on her chest, she thought that was just the greatest thing. Rylee asked to hold that baby any chance she could, and never got sick of it. This weekend, she learned how to change a poopy diaper, dress a tiny, squirmy baby, and even give her a bath. It was so sweet to watch her be so careful, and love every minute of it.



Thank you Jardines, for the Fun-filled Denver Experience!
We can't wait to visit again:)
