Christmas Eve is always filled with family traditions in the evening but what do you do during the day?
This year we went to lunch with our wonderful friends, Ray & Deborah Cabrera and their kids Elizabeth, Caleb and Priscilla.
After a short visit at our house, we headed out on a family mission. No, we did not need to buy any Christmas presents. Dave did an awesome job of being the "Christmas shopper" this year while off work. What we still needed was a birthday cake for Jesus.
So, first we headed to Kmart. I know, not the place for a birthday cake. I was looking for something to make a craft/gift for a good friend to give to them today but I didn't find what I was looking for. Yes, even on Christmas Eve I still have crafting on the brain.
Our second stop was Shoprite, one of the local supermarkets, but all that cakes there were too big. We just wanted a little cake not one we would be eating for the rest of the week. Especially since Emily and Matt are not big on cake.
With our quest seeming unattainable, we decided to revive ourselves with a little refreshment. A new QuickCheck has opened on Route 46 and they are having a promotion of free medium coffee and 20 oz slurpees. Yum!!
Being once again up to the challenge as sugar and coffee pumped through our veins, we headed to another supermarket, Stop and Shop. With the kids not so keen on the idea of heading into another store, we bid Dave a quick "good luck" and sent him in. A few moments later he returned to the car victoriously with the goods in hand - a small birthday cake for Jesus.
With our task complete, we headed home to prepare for the night's regularly programed Christmas Eve traditions. God bless us everyone!!
