Friday

Tonight was my night. I always do the same thing on my nights (unlike Paul, who does something different every year). We always go to a movie and then out to dinner. It is the only time we do this as a family as the cost is prohibitive with 7 people. We saw "National Treasure: The Book of Secrets".
We all really liked it- it was a good movie, and very clean. Everyone of the children enjoyed it and it is getting harder and harder to find a movie which they all enjoy. We ate dinner at Caliente's- a local burrito place. It was delicious!

When we got home, I had bought a new game for the family. It is called "Apples to Apples". I had wanted to get it for some time because it looked like fun, and it was. We played it for over an hour, and I think everyone had a good time.


Tomorrow night is Ellie's night and we will be making gingerbread (graham cracker) houses with the family. We bought all the supplies today and she finished up her Christmas shopping and is very excited to give everyone their gifts.
