Babysitting - December 10, 2011

We got to babysit while Adam and Julie went to a holiday party.

We took Elizabeth to a movie ("Puss N Boots"), out to dinner,

and then played at their house.

It was wonderful and exhausting!

The Elizabeth Band was a big hit!

We played a lot of games!

She loved playing horsey! Our backs and knees didn't!
