December 30, 2009

Wednesday was a fun filled afternoon. My youngest son had gotten money for Christmas to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie so I took the 2 youngest kids to see the movie so cute!

While we were out we did the grocery shopping for Dec 30- Jan 8th to fit the menu I had written out.
