Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Loveland!

My parents stayed this past weekend to hang out with Chelsea and celebrate Christmas with us!  We had a wonderful time with them and the weekend definitely flew by way too quickly.  My parents spoiled Chelsea (and Ben and I!) with gifts and their time.  They basically pushed Ben and I out of the house both Friday night and Saturday night so we could spend some time together while they babysat.  We went to a movie Friday night and went to the Barnes and Noble Cafe (something I used to do all the time!) on Saturday night to get caught up on a few things.  After Barnes and Noble we went to sit at the bar at Red Lobster and got a couple app's and drinks.  It was so nice to do some 'normal' date night stuff. 

The best gift of the evening was a big slide for Chelsea!  We'll keep it inside this winter and will move it outside this summer.  Chelsea is already loving it!  She needs a lot of help yet, but by this summer should be able to navigate it herself. 

Below are some pictures and links to videos.  The videos are of Chelsea running around after we opened gifts.  Ben tied bows around her and wrapped her up like a gift :)  The other video is of my mom "reading" to her.  One of their other gifts to Chelsea was a book from Hallmark that they recorded their voices in.  Such a precious gift that we will cherish forever.
