| Last weekend Craig and I drove a little over an hour south to spend the night at West Baden Springs hotel. It was a relaxing weekend with a lot to celebrate. We celebrated Craig's birthday, that I finished my 3 classes with all As, that Craig got a new management position, and that we have a baby girl on the way! |
 |
| The hotel definitely put us in the Christmas mood! The tree was as tall as the 6 floors of hotel rooms. It was amazing. We did a lot of people watching and it was so neat to see people's reaction to the tree. They also have a polar express train ride for kids to enjoy in their pajamas, so that was really cute to see too with the kids all walking around with their Christmas bells. |
 |
| The part at the top above the tree changed colors, almost like a kaleidoscope. |

 |
| Overwhelming! |
 |
| Couldn't get enough of the beautiful tree and hotel! |
 |
| Grayson discovered he liked our sprinkler and he liked to carry it around! |
 |
| He pruned our mums! |
 |
| It was such a beautiful day that we all went to the park. |
 |
| This time he decided the back yard needed some landscaping. |
 |
| Just the necessities - iphone, sippy cup, and cuddle time! |
 |
| Our neighborhood cat provided some entertainment! |
 |
| Uncle Craig makes a pretty good jungle gym! |
 |
| We really got Grayson wound up and he put on quite a show for us! |
 |
| You can hear the sound effects coming from his lips as he moves his train along! |
 |
| Craig picked the restaurant Scholar's Inn to celebrate his birthday and even choose to order |
 |
| I picked ravioli with butternut squash and cheeses inside. |
 |
We had dessert at the new downtown location of Oliver Winery. They offered me a free glass of wine while the chef was taking the time to make fresh whip cream to go on my chocolate dessert, but I had to refuse! They gave Craig another glass of port that went perfectly with his apple cake.   |
 |
| Hopefully Craig had a good birthday! I know I enjoyed our date together! |
