Visit with Julie, Trader Joe's, IKEA!

Mommy says, "Yesterday we loaded up the car and took off on a little road trip after church. Abbey stayed at home this time (thanks to Uncle Terry and Aunt Cindi!), but the rest of us hit the road. Our first stop was to the home of our friends Julie and Susan."
"Julie made us a delicious dinner and we had a lot of fun together! Lillian loved playing with the doors in their hallway."
"We hadn't seen Julie in several months, so it was really great to catch up. And very helpful that she and Susan let us stay with them! On Monday morning we headed to Trader Joe's and IKEA. It just so happened that IKEA was giving out free breakfast that morning so we had a delightful breakfast to start our day. Lillian had fallen asleep in the car so she snoozed while we ate."
"Dan and I had been to IKEA once before, so we knew a little bit of what to expect. Although I was still surprised that we spent 5 hours there! Lillian was very good about riding in the cart for so long but we did let her get out and play every once in a while.""She really liked the train table!"
"And the cupboards."
"Despite some frustration with out of stock products, we had a very successful trip. We bought a headboard/footboard, matching dresser, and nightstand for Lillian, an end table for our living room, and some silverware! We were seriously praying that the headboard would fit in the car and, thankfully, it did!""Now comes the hard part... waiting until Lillian's birthday to put all of this new furniture together!"
