first night away...

Joey and I went to the St Paul Hotel to celebrate our anniversary (it's our tradition)....so Gramma Jule had her first overnight with Juliette. Grampa Steve-O would've been there too, but he was sick :-( Our package at the hotel included wine and cheese/fruit upon arrival, coffee/cocoa in the morning, and unlimited movies. We checked in around 4:30, walked to Cosetta's for dinner (Joey has never been there...yeah...), then came back and settled in for the night! Nothing caps off a romantic anniversary celebration like pulling out a breast pump! Anyway, Gramma Jule and Juliette has a fabulous time while we were gone...best told in pictures:

3rd year= leather, so leather jackets!

thought I should get the ring in the pic

reading a book with gramma

here is the book, but Juliette likes to look at the camera :-)

That's the end of the pics. We did not take a pic of gramma crying when she had to leave :-) They had so much fun she didn't want to go. This is fine with us, as we will be taking full advantage of the Gramma Jule babysitting services!!
