My mom and dad came down to Columbia yesterday to spend celebrate Christmas with us. After lunch the boys and I met them for some shopping and then after a little rest they came over to meet at our place. We headed off to dinner at Little Pig's BBQ and then drove out to Saluda Shoals for "Lights by the River", a drive-thru light display that was really, really good!
We stopped at the "wonderland" on the way out of the park to visit with Santa and then my dad treated us (except Ron and Clay who opted to stay behind) to a train ride around a part of the lights. That was definitely Ben's favorite part!
After the lights we went back to our place and opened gifts. We got some great things! For Clay- AE jeans and shirt, a Clemson t-shirt and goodies; for Ben - jeans, a Lego city set and, his favorite, a Carolina helmet hat; for Ron - a Carolina t-shirt and pullover; for Maggie - an indestructable, glow in the dark ball and for me - jeans, a sweater, a party bag and, my favorite, a 2008 Vera Bradley agenda! We gave my dad a USC golf shirt and Eagles CD and my mom a VB bag and key chain. It was a wonderful time and the gifts were great, but the best of all was being able to spend time together.
