Celebrating at McDonalds

A few weeks ago I was talking with Cece (Brian and Aleisha's 2 1/2 year old daughter) about doing something special when her mommy went into the hospital to have the boys.

We decided that when that happened, we'd take a little trip to McDonalds with Caleb and Claire to celebrate her new brothers.

Yesterday afternoon was the day!

First stop was the hospital.

Cece got to see her brothers for the first time! (We got some great photos but I'll let Brian and Aleisha post those sometime).

Then it was time to head to McD while Brian spent some time with Aleisha, Gabe and Alex.

Cece was all smiles until she realized that daddy wasn't going with us!

But it didn't take long to distract her...and thankfully, McD is only 5 minutes away from the hospital!

Chicken nuggets, fries, strawberry water...and of course, the all important Happy Meal toy!

There is just something about being at McDonalds with kids that is still magical.

And something about McD ice cream too!

 Once upon a time, another kid got pretty excited about going to McD's...

Some things never change!
