Christmas Eve Eve

We had a bit of cabin fever after sticking around inside all day yesterday, so we ventured out in the rain (again) for a divine lunch at B. Tillman in Byrd Cookie Co. Sister had the yummy Caesar Salad with fried chicken and Mother and I both went with the grilled pimento cheese.  As usual, they were all good.  We saved room for dessert (a must when you’re dining in a cookie factory) and I’ll be dreaming about this for days to come… scotch oatmeal cookie ice cream sammies with house made chocolate bars.

CeeCee hung with the girls for a long, luxurious lunch while the boys entertained themselves on the vintage PacMan game and at the window into the cookie factory.  John spent the day with Daddy-O at lunch and running a few manly errands.

After Byrd’s we headed out to Bass Pro Shop.  Another favorite for blowing time and entertaining the littles.  We visited with Santa…

Shot the bow and arrows …

Tried out the guns…

And got a good scare as far as what’s to come with these two crazy kids…

The littles unanimously begged to ride the little Christmas train…

And we wrapped up our stint at the mall on the carousel…

And, just for laughs, our baby is not quite Elsa status… yet.

And we ended our day over date night at Pacci in the Brice Hotel (formerly the Mulberry Inn where we had our rehearsal dinner!).  If you’re curious, we loved the ambiance and thought the food was pretty good.  However, it didn’t nudge out any of our other faves (Pink House, Local Eleven Ten).

It was the best kind of Christmas Eve Eve – overflowing with family and fun!
