Girls weekend

...plus Carter. Every year, Grandma Lou, mom (Reiche), myself and McKenzie go to Shelly's for a weekend. This year Carter got to join us. We shopped, ate some great food, watched movies, just hung out together and Shelly spoiled my kids. The fun began when we got to St Louis on Friday morning. Once we were at Shelly's house she had 5 individually wrapped gifts for McKenzie. They were all hidden in McKenzie's room for her to find throughout the weekend. Over the weekend McKenzie also got to paint, play with Peep (Shelly's dog), play with all of Shelly's toys, read a lot of books and play outside. Carter is not aware yet just how cool his Aunt Shelly is but she is already head over hills in love with him. I think the high light of Shelly's weekend was when she got to give Carter a bath. Even Uncle Joe could not believe how excited Shelly was:-). After a full weekend the ride home was pretty quiet, neither McKenzie nor Carter could keep their eyes open. This was a good thing because we got home around 1pm and were at Bonkers by 1:45pm for another friend's birthday party.

Carter loved the phone rattle. It fit in his hand perfect.
