Cincinnati

Last weekend Bryan surprised me with a weekend getaway to Cincinnati! I have to say, this is the first time in our marriage he has been able to pull something like this off without me finding out or without just telling me out of excitement. He's never been good at keeping secrets from me. :) On Thursday night he told me his Mom was flying in and she would be here in a few hours. Wooo Hooo..... A weekend without the kids! How sweet of her to come all the way out here to give us some much needed vacation time.

We stayed at the Westin Hotel right in the middle of downtown so we were really close to a lot of fun places!
We went to the Palomino Restaurant for dinner.

We visited the Krohns Conservatory. It was fun to visit the different gardens like The Rain forest, Desert and tropical rooms. For a minute i almost forgot it was winter!

On our way home Saturday we stopped by the Outlet stores and went crazy shopping. We just couldn't pass up all the good deals! We got the Kaitlyn a cute little hat for $1 (can't beat that) and sunglasses for the girls. Kaitlyn loves her glasses so much she doesn't care if we are inside or outside, she always wants to wear them.

I love this picture of Ashley! She likes them too :)

Kaitlyn got her first haircut while Grandma was here! It was just a little trim.

We didn't want Ashley to feel left out. She wanted one too so Grandma gave her a pretend haircut :)

Thanks so much Cindy for coming all the way from Utah to watch our girls.

They loved spending time with Grandma and Bryan and I loved being able to spend time with each other.
