Thursday evening Carter and I headed downtown Minneapolis to Jenna's condo....we had a fabulous dinner with lots of my runner friends from Olaf. Carter was very entertained the entire night with Jenna's mini little puppy, Bear.

Saturday evening Jackie and Dean came up to watch the boys while me, Josh, Eric and Carissa went to Pittsburg Blue in Maple Grove. It was such a fun night. We are so thankful that Josh's parents were able to hang out with the boys.

And finally today....was beautiful. We bundled up the little man and played outside! He went sledding on his new sled and we went for a family walk around the block. The temper tantrum when we brought him inside was even well worth all the fun we had :)
