The Schnabel's: Chip's Birthday Week!

This week was calm here at the Schnabel household. We've successfully decorated the house for Christmas, despite our tree falling down once while Chip was at class! We got the cutest stockings from JC Penney with our names on them!

Tuesday was Chip's 26th Birthday. At his request we got Sushi from our favorite restaurant in Town Center, Sakura. Then Friday night we went to see A Christmas Carol at the Va Aquarium in 3D IMAX which was awesome! Jim Carrey was great in all his roles. However this sweet Charles Dickens story is sure to scare the dickens out of young children! (haha I couldn't help it!) The Ghosts were pretty weird and scary, not a kid friendly movie. Also if you get motion sick, 3D is not for you! There are many scenes where they quickly fly above the town darting through the buildings, I wanted to barf!! Afterward we had dinner at Bravo which is one of our top fav's! It was nice to have our date night with Kane having a photo-shoot at the house with my parents! haha, we came home to view the MANY pictures they had taken of him, and the addition of more Christmas lights, garland, poinsettia, ornaments, etc. My mom, the decorating tornado, blew through the house! haha, it all looked great!

We also ventured to the mall for the first time Friday afternoon to have our Family Christmas Card taken by the Picture People. Needless to say, Kane was a little on the fussy side, which isn't his normal temperament. We think he, like Chip and I, was hot in his clothes under those lights! We had lots of tummy time this week! Kane neck strength is really getting good! He can keep his neck up longer and longer everyday!

Please enjoy the NEW pictures!...Miss Julie!!!! ; )

**SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS to my cousin Melissa Tatman and her husband Matt who have announced that they are 3 months pregnant with TWINS!!!! We're sooo happy for them and their special news! Humm, that sounds like July babies to me, and who doesn't love a July baby ; ) haha**
