Christmas Visitation

It was on the calendar as simply "Asheboro Pickup" for weeks. The kids (Titus in particular) kept trying to get more clarity about the calendar entry but Chris and I successful kept the secret.  When we were heading out the door and someone started to panic about being late and I said "they can't start without us" and the kids were officially confused.

On our way we saw an incredible Christmas light display in the middle of no where, which was a fun treat.  Chris used the opportunity to joke "That's it, let's go home".

When we got to our destination, Lance immediately sighted Grandma Elaine in the lobby, the rest of the kids piled out after him with joyous exclamations.  Then we all piled into the car to go eat some dinner.

I had found a place it eat in downtown called "Cantina Taco Loco", it had a little something for everyone.  It was a bit small, so they took Chris' number till they had a table for a group our size.  We spent the time catching up and window shopping (It's a cute downtown).

At the table Grandma interviewed the kids about all that was going on in their lives, while we enjoyed a really nice meal.

After dinner we walked around looking at lights a bit, it was a beautiful night but eventually had to head back.  Everyone was sorry to part but also thankful for having the time together.
