Last year, when the kids arrived for Christmas, we decided to have lunch at Pizza Hut. That was fine with me because I didn’t have to cook. The girls and their families remembered the fun we had at last year’s lunch and said we should do it again this year. Easy! Kathy and Annette arrived last night, spent the morning at Kari’s house, and we all met at Pizza Hut for lunch.
We were the only ones at the restaurant when we arrived, so we parked our three cars side by side. You can see that it’s snowing again for our white Christmas. That’s now Kathy’s Prius on the right.
Just waiting for our food. Dylan is toasting the fun we’re having. Annette is still too cold to take off her jacket.
After lunch, Kathy and Annette wanted to browse in some of the St. Charles Historic District shops, so we headed downtown. The boys are out of school and it’s our second day of snow, so they were hyped up about being outside in the snow–even if it was less than 20 degrees with a nasty wind chill.
The boys spotted a teddy bear decoration that had fallen over, so they had to inspect the fallen bear. Dylan is in a sympathy pose, imitating the bear.
Dylan had fun rolling in the snow.
Sky and Teddy got in the sled and Dylan became the horse to pull it.
