family date nite

tonight we started a new mccord family tradition - family date nite. we often just hang out on friday night and do our grocery shopping, but we decided earlier this week that we wanted to mix it up. no grocery shopping and something fun for the little peanut. so in honor of one of p's favorite things to eat, pancakes, we headed to ihop. and pierce loved his 'fancy' pancake and drinking out of a big boy cup with a straw. after dinner we headed to ikea to walk around and let p play with their toys. he had a great time and even made it out of there with a little treat. we are excited for next month's family date night and are hoping this becomes a monthly tradition for us.
