Christmas Weekend

Today was  such a fun day.  We slept in this morning, which was amazing after getting up so early the last week or so.  We took our time getting ready and then headed out for a day of fun.  Our first stop was brunch at Perkins.  The King and I had eaten at a Perkins restaurant before, but none of the kids had so it was a first for them.  Our meal was delicious, but the seating arrangement was awful.  We sat at a longer table right along side another family that had already started their meal when we sat down.  It ended up working out okay, and they even gave us a coupon for 20% off of our meal, but it was awkward.

After our meal we went to Santa's Workshop, which was set up right here in town.  The kids saw Santa, had cookies and cocoa, made crafts, read a book with Mrs. Claus, and rode in a horse drawn carriage.  It was even more fun then we had expected.  The kids behaved wonderfully and I am so glad we went.

We finished up the day shopping for our Christmas dinner.  We decided to stick with tradition and we are having prime rib, twice baked potatoes, cheesy vegetables, homemade rolls, a veggie tray, and pies for dessert.  I think I am as excited for the meal as the kids are for the presents!  All of our shopping is done, but tomorrow I still have a lot of wrapping to do.  I cannot believe Christmas is only 3 days away!
