Fun Day at CNN/Imagine It

Just seems like our time all together in the week is limited, and will certainly be even more so when Trev starts Kindergarten. So when we found ourselves on a day with no school for Trev and no tutoring for me, we decided to spend the whole day in the city. I will NEVER forget what a fun day we had!

The giant Christmas tree in Atlanta

At the super-fun children's museum--the current theme is all about music and is fantastic!!

Aila with her old-school 80's rap friends...And a special treat--hanging with a post-retirement Larry King at the CNN center! I'm totally kidding--that's a cardboard cut-out.

Hotel Fun in Atlanta

Justin was in Atlanta for Passion 2011, a multi-day, morning to night worship experience. The kids and I got to stay with him at the Atlanta Hilton one night, and it was SO MUCH FUN! I'm telling you, forget big extravagant vacations. We could take these kids to a Motel 6 for a night and they'd be happy campers! Window fun

Hiding from her brother behind the curtains...

Silly bed head girl!

Trev really loves guitars, so we made sure to stop by the Hard Rock Cafe'. Guitars everywhere! He really, really wants to learn how to play. He got a little guitar for Christmas, so maybe lessons will come soon!

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed

Elevator fun!

This elevator was soooo fast, it nearly made me queasy! The kids didn't seem to mind...

The Girl Can Cook!

Tonight we had ravioli with a marinara/alfredo sauce. Aila made the alfredo sauce from scratch--with minimal help from me! Here she is swirling the butter around the pan by tipping the handle up and down...

...stirring in the cream...
Grating the parmesan cheese with the grater/zester (one of my very favorite kitchen gadgets, hands down!!!)...

Mixing it all together for the finished product...

The girl absolutely LOVES to cook! And seeing how I was like 20-something before I ever cooked anything, I am really happy she is learning early. Of course, her love of cooking may come back to bite her in the tush when I have her making all our dinners by the time she's ten! Ha!
