Family Day

I have had a "most excellent" day today. I am hoping that everyone else had too. They both have gotten very good at hiding their true feelings!

MAC didn't want to get up at all this morning but when I reminded her that we were going to the Peeps Store she jumped right up. What was very funny was that she even told me yesterday afternoon to remind her that we were going to the Peeps store if she told me she didn't want to get up this morning. We had the talk about Christmas and how we were not going to spend a lot of money when we went to National Harbour Mall today.

We got to the Peeps Store when it opened at 10am and had planned on going to Elevation Burger for lunch before heading to my mother-in-law's new house for dinner. We didn't expect to have to wait almost a half hour for Elevation to open. We were able to actually walk around the other stores while we were waiting. There were several new stores open and they were having a Christmas Market happening along their main street which was fun. MAC found that she really likes Alpaca, because it is REALLY soft and fuzzy!

We took a trip to Hubby's old house, saw his elementary school and even saw where he used to go sledding. We had a very nice time at the mother-in-law's and came home with left over’s of Hubby's favorite dinner: Chile Quillies.

Family day has been nice and relaxing. Yeah to togetherness!
