My Christmas Present

I know it might seem strange that I am mentioning a Christmas present in May, but let me explain...my thoughtful husband bought me a series of Christmas gifts that went together like a puzzle. He thought that after 3 months of being cooped up with a baby, I would need a "me" day so my Christmas gift consisted of things like an airbrush tan certificate, gift certificates to a couple of my favorite stores, a starbucks gift card, a spa package, a dress, tickets to a broadway play...all things I was supposed to take an entire day to do. I couldn't stand the thought of being away from Dane for an ENTIRE day so we compromised - we had a really nice date in Chicago. We went to dinner at Sixteen...a fancy schmancy restaurant in the Trump hotel. Dinner was wonderful! Then we went to see Mary Poppins, a broadway play. Needless to say Cameron wasn't really into the play and was checking his cel phone for the Bulls score through most of it, but he was a good sport and went because of me. So...now I have a spa gift certificate and can go shopping at two of my favorite stores on another day, but I still got a night out with my hubby! Dane was in the loving hands of my mom and aunt Janel...thank you for coming to stay with our little man! Here are highlights from the weekend:
