I also decided to take a half a day of vacation, so I left the office around 1:00 and went shopping. I was able to use my JCPenney gift certificates on myself and then also got mom something for her upcoming birthday. Roxanne's birthday is on Saturday so I'll be going shopping again this weekend.

Yesterday we went out to Little House to celebrate Lauren's and my birthday's. We all had a really great time. The girls got their pictures taken on the tractor and then they gave the horses their carrots and apples. It was really windy and a little chilly, as you can see from the pictures.
