Boy, I've had a busy last few days!!! But, busy in a good way. Thursday, I helped my best friend take her two little ones to get their pictures taken for Christmas. That was a trip! I guess once you have two little kids you must have a helper for the pictures. It was tiring, but it could have been a lot worse. She really has two cute, nice little kids. Afterwards, she bought me lunch at Red Robin. Then, we went back to her house and I played with the little baby while the older one was sleeping.
Yesterday, we had my mom's surprise 50th birthday party at home at the American Legion Hall. (Nothing but the best in my hometown....haha!) She was totally shocked and had absolutely no idea. And with gifts she made out like a bandit! Not that gifts matter much to her, but I think she was shocked at the number of people that will come out of their way for her birthday. She means much more to people than she realizes.
And finally, today, we saw the Lion King downtown at the Detroit Opera House. What an awesome show that was. Especially the opening number. It was visually stunning, I had tears in my eyes. And when they sang "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?", I also got chocked up. So did my husband, I think. We are both such crybabies. We saw the show with our friends Danielle & Grady, and they loved it as well. We always see shows with them, which is really nice. After the show, we went to the new MGM Grand Casino in Detroit and had a casual dinner in their food court (they call it the "casual dining.") The food way okay, but the service in that area was slow. And it was a bit pricey for what we got, but what do you expect at a casino? Anyway, we gambled a bit and had fun. I walked out $2 down on the slots, which is great, but best of all, Brian walked out enough ahead after playing 3 card poker that we can easily buy the flat screen TV we want for our bedroom! It'll be a good Christmas in our house!
