Daddy Lou arrived home just as Mom and Dad had arrived for a busy weekend of birthday celebrations!
You may be wondering why Lola is opening a present when it was truly her daddy and Gigi’s birhdy weekend….
Preperation apparently…. lol after all the girls big day is next! So mom arrived with tons of wrapped presents and pulld them out at various times through out the weekend!
Lola’s first one was NEMO cereal (one of her new favorite movies)!
No worriess daddy got plenty of his own!
Mom and dad thankfully had voluntered/talked us into going out for a date night while they watched Lola for us and I told Lou we would be back in time to do presents and put Lola to bed so she wouldn’t miss anythng (and because she won’t go to bed with anyone else/no one else can crawl into her crib lol) but he still insited we do his cake first….
Lola LOVED singing HAPPY Birthday and blowing out the candles!
We sang it about 1700 times and then daddy put a stop to it… he had eating on his mind.
Now we know why he wanted to do cake before dinner…
Yup, that’s half the cake gone soley by him.
We told Lola “bye” and she took it surprisingly well, then Lou reqested a birthday pic with his “old lady”, I could slap him and kiss him at the same time!
He is also stepping up his snap game lately with a lot of useless fabricated crap which he thinks is HILLARIOUS- for example he takes pictures of nothing and then post that he saw a wolf, fox etc just to make people stare at it.
He has issues.
We have a very stict must eat hibachi on your birthday policy in our household.
It was a new (to us) place and it was really good! I was glad we found a new one bcause we have pretty much retired our last one- it’s gone down hill!
It was nice having a dinner where we could actually sit and talk with eachother, we my have forgotten what thats like!
I will sy though, as always, we got WAY to ecited to get back home and race up to our girl who came screaming laughing jumping on me spanky clean from a bath with Gigi!
We threw her jammies on and it was presents time!!
Friday we took Gigi shopping and I had a total mama fail…. 
Lola is SO interested in goign to the potty these days even though I refuse to officially start potty trainig her until she is TWO!
However, just before we left the house I let her sit on the potty and “push” and pulled her pants back up before going to put a new diaper on (so she wouldnt have to walk with her pants aorund her ankles)…. well two seconds later we forgot and she was on my hip and ready for the mall!
We shopped and shoped and finally made a run for the food court, girlfriends was on my hip when she started whining saying “tt” just as i felt something warm on my hip…
Instantly i remembered- we forgot to put a diaper on her, by we i mena ME!
So we made a run for the bathroom, ditched our pants and spent the remainder of the time in our dress and snow boots… come to think of it that sounds a lot like mamas college days!
In all honestly Gigi demanded that baby leave the mall with new pants on so we vetoed our nap to shop a bit longer!
Poor baby girl keeping up with mama and Gigi is not for the faint of heart!
That night I was glued to the TV, it was supposed to snow and I had everything CROSSED for a BIG snow storm!!
It worked!!! Saturday we woke up to a WHITE winter wonderland (by georgia standards!)
Daddy couldn’t even wait for me to get Lola dressed to take her int he snow! He brought her out in her pajamas and barely had enough time to put her hat and jcket on!
My favorite part about snow days is being stuck inside all together with a fire, candles, hot chocolate and seeing my girls face light up as she yells “snow!” out ll of the windows!
Lou on the other hand HAS to take his 4 wheel out for a drive… everytime!
If were taking a drive I will be damn if it’s not to get donuts!
These two were quite pleased with my decision!
Then it was time to get my baby girl all bundled up to really see the snow!
SHe wasn’t so sure at first but then she got SUPER excited when I taught her how to bal up the snow and throw snowballs at daddys face!
She could not get enough of me, she wanted to climb all over me and squeal and squeal!
I was so excited to go back in and give her her first cup of hot chocolate with marshmellows!
She was not interested… she insited in her own cup of water with a spoon to eat it with instead…. thats my girl.
By nap time the snow had pretty much melted (sadly) but the good nws was we still got to have daddy Lous birthday dinner at Henrys!
It took us about 5 sconds to order because Lou and I have dreamed about the menu options since we last ate there!
It was so good and Lola had the best time celebrating one last time with her daddy!
We love you daddy Lou and we are so honored to have celebrated more birthdays with you than without you!
Here’s to many more more birthdays and reasons to celebrate!
(What’s it take for a mama to get picture with her girls together?)
As soon as we waked in it was almost a Disney World feeling! It was so overwhelming but in a good way! There were souvenir stands, light up wands everywhere, a huge bar with souvenir beer mugs, costumes and characters everywhere and picture stations!
