Out and About

On Tuesday, we did a little shopping and lunching. We had some Christmas gift money/gift cards and thought we would take a day out to spend with the kids. We first went to renew our Costco membership and stock up for the upcoming month, then we went out to lunch at Pei Wei! The kids love using chopsticks! After that we looked a bit in Half Price books and then headed to Bed, Bath and Beyond since I had some money left on our gift card and got some new cooking tongs and hair dryer. After that we headed to the La Cantera mall so that Ashley could use her Barnes and Noble gift card from Bimmie and Pepaw. We had a blast looking through all of the books and after much deliberation, Ashley finally decided on two Thea Stilton books. She has a tad leftover a plans to use it on another trip with some of her allowance.  We also got a Starbucks gift card so we walked ( and it was cold) to the Starbucks at the other end of the mall. I got a Peppermint Mocha and Paul got a Gingerbread Latte. YUM! The kids loved looking at the pretty windows at Tiffany's nearby. Then we went to Trader Joe's for some groceries to get through the week.  It was a lovely day and we enjoyed coming home to a light dinner of "cereal" and cuddled up to watch E.T. since Corey got it for Christmas from Aunt Cathy.

Silly Ashley! She was FREEZING!

Bundled up with Daddy's hat and gloves in Starbucks. It got colder later in the day.
