Christmas Eve/ Grandma's Birthday

Christmas Eve was a busy day. I ran a couple of errands in the morning and then had to rush home for lunch and the kids' naps. Then it was time to get ready for church. Church started at 4pm, but it is always packed on Christmas Eve. So we decided to leave before 3pm to make sure we got a seat. Church was packed! And that's because this is a new, bigger church! We did get a seat- luckily. This is a children's mass, so it was directed more to the kids and there was a children's choir. It was very nice. After dealing with the traffic after church, it was 6pm before we got home. How crazy! Considering we had the kids with us, we all did pretty good.
Now it was time to celebrate Grandma's (my mom) birthday. She opened presents- and got some good stuff. We were going to go to Outback for dinner, but there was an hour and a half wait. So we decided to go to a local steakhouse in Cypress, called Bertani's. The co-owner went to school with my dad's sister. So of course my dad had to scout him out when we got there. The food was really good. I recommend going there. Happy Birthday Mom!
Don't think I'm a bad mother and didn't get a picture of my son...he was in one of his moods and didn't want his picture taken. :)
