A Trip To The Macaroni Grill And A Bee's Life

Yesterday David and I took the kids to the Macaroni Grill. We don't eat out much, but when we do, it's such a treat. It was so much fun! When we arrived, the restaurant was packed, but the service was great and the food even better. The waitress brought out a loaf of fresh-baked bread and a small bowl of olive oil that was seasoned with pepper to dip it in. We briefly discussed the health benefits of olive oil. The kids each ordered from the kids menu. They had their entrees as well as unlimited drink refills and an ice cream sundae for dessert. David had chicken pizza and I ordered a chicken and veggie sandwich with a house salad.
After eating we took the kids to see the Bee Movie. Even though we were about 10 minutes early, the theater was packed with kids of all ages, parents, and grandparents and we ending up sitting about 3 rows from the front on the side. The movie was pretty funny and very cute! The kids really enjoyed it and so did I.
I know the kids have enjoyed being home more during Christmas break and having a break from school. But I don't know who's enjoyed it more, me or the kids. Having David and the kids home this past week has been so much fun! It's really made me reflect on 2007 and be thankful for the great memories we have made.
I am looking forward to the New Year. For one thing, our 14th anniversary is on January 1. . . more on that later.
