Jerry had to work this Christmas, so I asked my mom to come a little early and spend Christmas with us. What a great idea! On Christmas Eve, we shopped at a few stores, then attended a Candlelight Service. Afterwards, we met Jerry at Applebees for a pre-Christmas dinner and opened a few presents once we got home.
On Christmas morning, the boys openend their gifts from Grandma Carolyn and then we got ready to go see Yogi Bear at the movie theatre. I guess it's popular to go to the movies on Christmas, because there were quite a few folks there! When Jerry got home from work that night, we enjoyed a dinner of pot roast and veggies, rolls, and cranberry crumb cheesecake for dessert! The boys were very eager to open the rest of their gifts and stockings now that Daddy was home to share in the festivities :)
The remainder of the visit was spent grocery shopping, and visiting 2 new attractions. The first was the Sci-Tech Discovery Museum in Frisco. Inside were various centers featuring math concepts, and an area full of wooden contraptions for all the hands on fun you could ask for! The boys could have spent hours playing if we had let them :)
On the last day, my mom and I took the boys over to see the Christmas display inside the Gaylor Texan Hotel. The HUGE atrium held a gigantic Christmas tree, a toy train display, various Christmas displays, and our favorite-a gingerbread village! We would have liked to tour the Charlie Brown Christmas ice sculpture exhibit as well, but it was a bit too costly this year. Maybe next time....
