For the past couple of years I have been fortunate to be home to get to go on the annual Christmas shopping trip with Uncle Jim, Allison and the kids. Uncle Jim comes into town and does his Christmas and birthday shopping for his Great-Nieces and Nephews. For a few years I have not been able to go because the trip would be on a weekend. Luckily, this year and last it was during the week and I could go along.

We went to Kohls over at Mansfield Crossing. This is a good place because it has so many things in one location. They also do some decent toy packages. The prices are marked up but then they are on crazy sales so it ends up working out okay. The kids picked out a birthday and a Christmas gift each and then one that they could share. This year the sharing gift was some Rose Art Color Blanks of animals with designs, sort of like the Mexican spirit animals from Coco. They both loved Coco so this was a natural fit for them. They even agreed on how best to divy up the animals in the package.

After our shopping we took Jim over to Mac and Walt’s for dinner. He took us out but we picked the place. It was excellent as always. We do love going there and even introduced Jim to fried pickles, a favorite of ours.

Twelfth Wedding Anniversary

Family Meal at Mac and Walts

Today was our twelfth wedding anniversary. Our day began with church as a family. We saw my mom before and afterwards. Dad called me to wish me a happy anniversary as I drove home from work. After work I went home to sleep for the day and must have been very tired because I slept all the way till four-thirty. When I got up we went over to Mac and Walt’s for dinner.

Dinner was excellent. We enjoyed some fried pickles and pretzels. We love their fried pickles and especially the sauce that comes with it. We had not done the pretzels before but they were very good too, I especially liked the stone ground mustard, it had a sweet taste to it, too.

Our main dishes arrived and we opted for mostly burgers and mac and cheese. Andrew had the mac and cheese and I got the mac and cheese burger. That was crazy and had so much cheese plus some thick cut candied bacon. That was amazing stuff. Allison and Eva each got a Walt’s Burger that had fried pickles and onion rings on it. There was a ton of good food and we loved it. Our waitress even took a photo of us that we posted to facebook.
