Yesterday, Peter and I met Mom and Dad at the spectrum. My kids gave me $150 to spend there. Say WHAT?! After some lunch and a quick looky loo we headed home, took a nap and then the 4 of us headed to church. We stopped by Grandma and Pa T's casa afterwards to pick them up and swoosh them off to dinner at Outback (another very generous gift card). The plan, as posted about yesterday, was to then drive up to Balboa for a Christmas light stroll. Well, we were all feeling rather stuffed after dinner and the weather outside was frightful. What? Didn't you see the sprinkles on your windshield and the jack frost nipping at your nose?
Did you guess it? We bailed on the itinerary, stopped by the store for ice cream and the 6 of us gathered around the fire, built a Christmas puzzle and baked cookies. Um. Ya. It was as awesome as it sounds. Excellent veto of the plan.
As for today, and I am not backing out, Cynthia and I are going to a youth orchestra concert at Concordia! One of my fifth graders will be playing and she gave me 2 concert tickets. Cynthia, the little musician, is pumped as am I! One awesome thing about a huge family- you always have someone to take with you! Peter will be earnin the big bucks tonight. Merry Christmas!
