Tea and Manis and Monster Trucks, Oh My!

For Christmas, I gave the girls certificates for Afternoon Tea and a Mani/Pedi, and I gave the boys tickets to the Monster Jam truck show, and recently we used them.  First the boys went to the monster truck show, where, as you can see, they had very good seats for all the action.  We were a little concerned that Atticus wouldn't like it and/or wouldn't keep the earplugs in, but after a couple of times of walking him out of the arena, he settled in and watched the show.  Teague, who is an old hand at monster truck shows, loves it just as much as ever! 

Meanwhile, the girls all met at Grand America for their Afternoon Tea service.  As you know, Kaiya has been to tea before, and the last time we went she said her only wish was for Mom and Aunt Kris to go with us.  It was all very proper and fun (though I unfortunately forgot to take any photos).  Then Steph, Kaiya and I went on to get our manis/pedis (Kris couldn't come with us this time).  Though Kaiya loves her fingernails and toenails to be painted, this is the first professional mani/pedi she's had.  She LOVED it!  And it was just in time for them since they were leaving a few days later for their cruise.
