Elmo, Mickey and Big Bird

It's late Sunday night and we are finally watching Desperate Housewives. What a whirlwind three for me four day for Amy weekend. Why were the Philadelphia schools closed Thursday, let alone a half day for all the suburban schools. The snow didn't really start till Friday morning. When I got home Aden had been inside all day so I took him out for some nice cold air. He still is not very fond of the snow.

Friday we woke up to a "snowicane." Crazy winds and snow but it didn't last long. Aden made us breakfast in bed.

He drove it over to us on his train.

It started to clear up so we decided to go out for lunch. Aden has added to his buddies. At first it was just Elmo. Now it's Mickey Mouse and Elmo and the most recently added Big Bird.

Mickey came to Ben and Irv's with us. It was quiet there. I guess a lot of people stayed in.

We stopped by my grandmother's house so she could spend some time with Aden. Notice his Mickey shirt!

Later that night we were supposed to meet my family out for dinner but Aden woke up from a nap and went immediately into an hour long tantrum. We had no idea what to do so we let him be. He finally calmed down in time to go to bed. First he had to figure out how to sit with Elmo and Mickey in his chair.

He was at it for a while.

Saturday Aden picked up where he left off. We met Monica and Neil for lunch at Piccolos in Newtown. Monica hadn't seen Aden since he was a little baby. Speaking of Aden, he was a handful at the restaurant. He did not want to sit still. They came back home with us for dessert.

That night we got Maura to sit for Aden so Amy and I could have a night on the town. We went to our favorite Greek place on South Street. We haven't been there since we moved. Amy really enjoyed the wine! We then went to a Purim party at Marathon on Walnut. It had been a while since we have been to one of these functions. It was nice to catch up with old friends.
