Christmas at the Haycock's

Ava Lucy Haycock

Girls night out!

Last Saturday we had an awesome girls night out! We went to see "Twilight" the movie. Anyone who knows me knows I am a little obsessed with Edward! The movie was actually good despite of who they cast as my boyfriend. I do have a weakness for brown eyes so I was glad they got that part right! We went to the California Pizza kitchen before at Gateway- I think there were like 20 of us who went. I don't think our waitress was very happy! We were still first in line for the movie even though we already had reserved seats! Yea we're kind of dorks. It was nice to have one last get away before baby Ava gets here. By the way my scheduled C-section is for December 18th. Normally I would be pushing for sooner but with Christmas around the corner and my Preschool Christmas program next week I need to keep her in the oven a little longer. Hopefully my next post will be Ava's arrival!

Johnny's Birthday!

We celebrated John's 34th Birthday on Tuesday November 4th! He had to work late so the girls and I put together a candle light dinner. The girls named our restaurant the Jr. Swirl( sounds like an ice cream parlor) and they made cute menus with only one choice for each entre. We ended up serving Chicken Parmasean with french bread and ice cream sandwhich cake for dessert. The girls did a great job being our waitresses! I got John a new office chair and a couple clothing items that didn't fit ( the story of my life!) The girls got him a gift certificate to Cold Stone. That was probably his favorite!!! Happy Birthday John-34 and your still going strong!

Makenna has been complaining for about three weeks that her ankle hurts. John and I have just ignored her and passed her off as faking since she was still playing soccor at recess and jumping around. Well I got sick of her complaining and finally took her to the Dr. to prove to her that she is full of it! Well it turns out her growth plate in her ankle had a huge crack in it which would require her to wear a cast for four weeks! I felt so bad and so I let her stay home from school the rest of the day and watch movies. I decided I should win the "Mother of the year award!"
She is very excited about her blue cast and that she'll get out of pointing her toes at ballet for a whole month! There is always a positive side. When life hands you lemons make lemonade!
