Christmas Eve
We headed to the mall of Georgia for some last minute shopping. We still needed gifts for our parents. I ended up getting an iPad for my parents and he couldn't find a good gift for his. He really wants them to come out so he decided to buy them plane tickets out to seattle to visit us in the next few months. We also still needed a few more gifts for the kids. The bulk of the gifts we ordered on Amazon and had them shipped to Denise's house.
The kids had been begging to watch "night at the museum 3" so we got them tickets and sent them in so we could finish shopping. After hitting brookstone, Chris and I took alice to target. His blood sugar dropped really fast as we had pushed through the lunch hour and he was needing something fast. He laid down in the camper while I got some take out lunch at panera. We ate in the camper- I'm starting to dig parking lot meals in the camper.
The movie was almost over so we headed back and picked up the kids- aka- mall-rats.
We stopped at our old sugar hill Kroger to load up on Christmas breakfast goodies- no fuss and convenient was the theme.
We played Christmas Eve mad libs while I got texts from everyone saying when and where they were going to christmas mass. There wasn't a good option for us to go to mass with family so we went to saint Monica's 4pm mass. Boy, was it crowded!
Back at the lakehouse we let the kids open their secret Santa gifts. I really love Love Street- what a special little shop it is.
Chris took us to Windows- a restaurant at the resort lodge. They were serving a fabulous Christmas Eve buffet dinner. It was all so delicious!
Back at the lakehouse I got the kids ready for bed and closed them in their room with a warning- "if the tape I put on your door is broken in the morning- we will pack up one of your gifts and take it directly to Goodwill"
I then stretched a piece of tape from the molding to the door. I did the same on their patio door. They had a bathroom off their bedroom so it enabled them to use the potty if they needed to. They just didn't need to be peeking in on Santa that night.
