Yummy! ICE CREAM!!
Baskin Robbins is celebrating 31 cent scoop night from 5 - 10 pm. You can get up to THREE scoops!
Also, a great special going on now at Holifield Photography. Their Baby Steps program is only $39. I did this with both my boys - you get four sessions, a free pic from each session, and they will put them in a panel upon completion. The frame is extra but this is such a cute way to have a little reminder of how they grow so quickly all in one frame!
