Date night with Mom and Dad

More Jazz tickets means Gracie got a turn to go to a game. It happened to be the Jazz Bear's birthday, so there were lots of other NBA mascots at the game. According to Chad, Grace paid rapt attention to the game, enjoyed a large tub of popcorn and a big soda, got a free Jazz bear nightlight ("totally free, mom! You just walked in and they gave it to you. You didn't have to give them money or anything."), and gasped in amazement as the mascots participated in a slam dunk, flipping contest! Sounds like a good daddy-daughter night. Plus the Jazz won, so Chad was happy!

Brynn and I got to hit the town too, though our adventure was slightly more low key. I let Brynn pick our dinner spot and she picked the little Pizza Hut inside Target. Mmm. Yummers. Not! But she loved it. Then we went in search of a Valentine's Dog, which she had seen while out with my mom. She had something very specific in mind and after much searching we finally realized the dog wasn't at Target, it was at the grocery store. So we swung by the grocery store on the way home and snagged the last one. Life is good and all Brynn's "Valentimes" dreams have now come true.
