Yesterday was the official 3rd annual Villarreal Christmas in July!!!!! We ramped it up a few notches this year. And just to be clear, this is purely a pagan celebration. Maybe we shouldn't call it Christmas, but come on people, don't take things too seriously. We save the more serious stuff for December.
Here's why our day was really special.
1. Stay in pajamas all morning.
2. Watch a Christmas show or movie, or several. This year we watched Rudolph.
3. Dance around like crazy people to Christmas music. Gabriel requested Brave Combo first, of course. Then we did a little interpretive dancing to The Nutcracker.
4. Make a carpet angel. My son's idea, which I thought was brilliant.
5. Bake cookies! We didn't want to spend much time on making them from scratch, so we used the Nestle Toll House pre-cut numbers and added red and green M&M's. BTW, you can't find JUST red and green M&M's this time of year. I had to weed them out of a multicolored pack.
6. Go to Dallas for a trip to Froggy's, the greatest toy store in the whole world!!! I forgot to take any pics while we spent over a hour just browsing. It was great because when we go in December the store is always packed, and there was no one in there today.
7. Eat at Chuy's. Yum, yum, yum.
8. Save some cookies for dessert after Chuy's.
9. Picture next to Harry's Hot Dog hot dog. It's just become part of the tradition.
10. Show off the toys you got at Froggy's: Gabriel picked out a talking Lost in Space bobblehead robot.
Joel just wanted a garbage truck.

I love those places - and since Julie moved, I never get over there. :(
