Out of Towners

This holiday season brings with it lots of travel. Since I last posted, we've made the four hour trek to my mom's house, went to Chicago for a cousin's wedding and drove to Washington DC to visit my husband's family. The plan is to head back to my mom's in the next couple of days to see my youngest brother, who will be in town from Denver.  Yea, we're logging a lot of miles.

So... the night of the Chicago wedding my cousin got a babysitter for her daughter and my girls and us mamas had a night out.

Can you believe this was the first time I left my girls with a babysitter. (Yes, that's crazy.)

While in DC we got to the zoo to see this cutie:

And, guess what else happened... We have a crawler!!

Since we've been home I've been slowly putting up our Christmas decorations.

I also tried to tackle the potty issue with Ana by adding a new M&M bribe...

It's left us both feeling more like this:

(Same with any attempts at giving up the paci.)
