Early Christmas Fun

Yesterday was a wonderful early Christmas with my parents. The kids had a great time opening presents, we had a really nice dinner (mmmm, lasagna....) and then we capped it all off with a trip to "Enchantment in the Park" in my parents' town where you get to drive through a great light display all timed to music. After we drove through we parked and wandered around, sneaking in a visit to Santa! It was great, especially the Santa part. With all the craziness, I didn't think we'd get that in this year...








It was a really nice day. The kids were good, everyone enjoyed themselves, and there was very little whining. Even when I, the Mother Of The Year, forgot to bring 2 of Jack's presents. Ahem. But he was very good about it, and after kicking me squarely in the behind (yes, I really bent over so he could kick me) and much sheepishness on my part, it was officially No Big Deal, and I gave them to him when we got home (I'd picked up a couple things for him for my mom - but once they were hidden, I promptly forgot all about them).

I hope you all had a great weekend. I managed to get my Secret Santa present mailed (I am only A LITTLE behind) and I was tagged! Adam from I Am Boring tagged me with a few questions, and I'll get to those tomorrow...thanks Adam! (If you don't already read his blog, GO! He's hilarious! AND he's hosting a virtual race this January.)
