Matt's spring break this year was so needed. He has been working so hard and is hardly home and when he is it is usually after the girls are in bed for the night. Funny enough we didn't have big plans to go anywhere or do anything we just wanted to have some down time together and that is just what we got! Matt still had to work 8-5 at Sure Steel but it was so nice to have him come home for dinner every night and I found I looked forward to the day even more knowing that he would be home shortly after 5 each evening. Earlier in the week we spent some time organizing the house and getting prepped for this baby. But Friday when got home form work we shut out all outside distractions and just spent time together. We ordered chinese take out and had a picnic in our front room(one of our favorite things to do) while we ate we watched Big Hero 6 which is such a cute movie and good even if you have seen it a couple times. Gracie quickly found her cuddle spot and Matt was in heaven.
Here is the finished product...I think he did pretty good especially since it was his 1st time. Hallie was also pretty thrilled that her dad had done her hair.
Then we headed for Salt Lake we stopped to look at a couple house exteriors we were debating between and then decided to grab some lunch before venturing to Ikea. BBQ is one of our favorite things and this place wasn't half bad. The ribs were really good but everything else could use some improvement. Hallie thought she was so hilarious using the rib as her smile.
Gracie's favorites were the sweet potato french fries and the mac and cheese
I love this guy and all the time we get to spend with him. I can't wait for this semester to be over to possibly see him a little more
My kind of family photo...all cuddled together! Its crazy to think that we will soon be a family of 5 and not 4!

Then it was time to embark on the adventure that is Ikea. I have never been in this place for less than an hour even if I know just what I'm coming for and this day was no exception. We had picked out a dresser for the baby is the main purpose of going but of coarse we found several other things to play with a long the way
Then it was time for what the girls had waited for all day. Our real estate agent, Sold by an Angel, had rented out the entire theater for their clients to see Cinderella and even more awesome each person got a gift card to the concessions stand. Im not sure which one the girls were more excited about. They each picked a "kids meal" with a drink, popcorn, and a treat. The theater also had cool trays to hold it all so it wouldn't get spilled....my kind of theater for sure. During the previews they showed a short movie featuring Frozen the girls were captivated and thought it was so funny. It really was very cute
Something that Matt and I have always done is always sat by each other whether its at dinner, movies, or church we always sit next to one another. Sometimes it makes it harder to keep everything under control but definitely worth it.
As far as the movie was concerned it was ok. No new twists on Cinderella about half way through Gracie lost interest and wasn't very into the movie anymore. I like Ever After better but it was fun to get out and do something together. The girls were so excited when they found the poster afterwards so of coarse we had to take a picture
By this time we were all exhausted it had been a fun and eventful day. We were stuffed full of theater food and ready to call it a night. The girls talked all the way home about what their favorite parts of the day were. I love days with just our little family no ones schedule but ours just doing what we like and today was just one of those days
