An Afternoon in Williamsburg!

What a perfectly wonderful afternoon we had on Saturday. Right after Jacob's soccer game, we hit the road and headed for Williamsburg. My mom and I had made plans to meet for a few hours in Williamsburg for the afternoon. It's not quite halfway (2 hour drive for her, 1 hour for me), but was the perfect place for a lovely afternoon! Mom is flying to FL to see my other 3 sisters for Thanksgiving, and so I wanted to get to see her before she left. Also, she is serving as our transport and is taking Christmas presents from us to my sisters in her suitcase....saving me not only postage but a trip to the post office!!! We had a wonderful time! We met at the Yankee Candle company....it's almost like it's own little towne center or something. All these little individual "shops" inside, personalized ornaments, a general store, dip your own candles, a Christmas shoppe complete with real snow, and of course the BIGGEST yankee candle store you can ever imagine! We had a ball!




I love these pictures. We were waiting for lunch, and Mom was holding Callie. Callie all of a sudden got so loving with Mom - just kept giving her these big hugs and laying her head down on her shoulder. She is my cuddle bug for sure - very loving girl. Her face in the picture below just says it all - she was SO happy to see her Tutu!!!

The boys were dipping some candles....

Anyone surprised that Jacob's is blue???
