Shopping for Emily's 30th!

We had a blast shopping in Williamsburg on Saturday. It was Emily's 30th birthday (see a previous post) so to celebrate big, my mom, Emily, Jamie and I all went to Williamsburg to spend some dough. Emily got pretty much all money for her birthday so she was thrilled to be able to buy herself some things. I stayed the night at Emily and Adam's house on Friday night so Kezzie could get used to her surroundings before I left her all day Saturday. I figured since I was there for the night Emily and Adam might as well go out on a date. They went to dinner and Adam surprised her with a Wii for her birthday! They were supposed to go to a late movie but ended up coming home instead. Saturday morning all of us girls headed on the road by 9:30. We got there and went straight for the gap! We spent the whole morning there until it was time to eat lunch and then walked over to Arbys. Yummy! The rest of the afternoon is a blur of a million stores. My main goal was to find new shoes and I got it accomplished. That's pretty hard for me since I hate shoe shopping (my shoes usually prove it too-I wear them until they are shredded). I think Jamie was pretty jipped since she is pregnant and can't really buy herself too many things. She did end up getting some maternity pants and a maternity/nursing shirt. It was nice to have her along even though she was probably bored! My mom got some running shoes and a couple other things. Emily and I enjoyed not only shopping for ourselves but also for our kids. It's really not hard to convince yourself of all the things kids 'need'. The styles are so cute these days. And who can beat $1 flip flops at Old Navy?! I think I spent the most money on myself for once though. I was able to try things on as if I am not pregnant since I'm only 12 weeks along! I had so much fun shopping and ended up getting some pretty cute outfits! Yeah for sisters/moms and shopping malls! We topped off our day with a stop in Cedar Rapids at Chili's. It was delicious! Thanks mom for dinner! We rushed back to Adam since he was still taking care of the three kids (Austin was with his dad) on his own. Keith and Brian were in Omaha for a wedding (Brian was even an usher) so they were no help to Adam! By the time we had made it home it was 7:10. Adam was exhausted, Bennett needed to nurse right away and Keziah and Ethan were about ready for bed also! The kids did great together according to Adam! Ethan and Kezzie haven't ever really done the greatest at getting along so we were wondering how that would go! Kezzie was pretty happy to see me. This was the longest I had ever left her and it was great! The entire next day though she wouldn't let me out of her sight. She was too afraid I was going to leave her again! I guess it's always nice to know you are missed while you are away!
