Date night

By Amity -
Aunt Holly arrived safe and sound Sunday evening and we've been running around like crazy people trying to get stuff done before everyone else arrives Wednesday. Holly babysat for us last night so John and I could have a date night. We went to one of the taverns in Colonial Williamsburg for a Holiday Feast. We arrived in time to see the fife and drummers playing in the 23 degree weather! I was a little worried about the dinner as I'm a bit of a picky eater and the taverns are known for some unique feasts. I was pleasantly surprised. We had a tremendous menu of pumpkin bisque soup, salad, beef stew, ham and green beans, turkey with sweet potatoes and stuffing and chocolate pudding to top it off. We were so full we didn't have room to really eat the dessert. Along with this fabulous dinner we had wonderful music and a great dining experience. If you ever have a chance to visit Colonial Williamsburg during the holidays it's well worth the trip!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
