Before heading to Sanger for Christmas with hubby's family, we always open our presents and stockings at home in LA. With us heading to Sanger on the 23rd we decided to open everything on December 22 which happens to be hubby's 38th birthday! We celebrated his birthday at Disneyland yesterday so that we could focus this day on our family Christmas. To start our day we headed down to Chinatown to CBS and grabbed some Dim Sum from their take out store. we brought it home and grubbed. Penny really loved the little fried chicken wings that I got. She must have eaten half of them!!! We planned to take dad out for some Roscoe's but our appointment with the Time Warner Cable Guy took longer then expected. No one could figure out why we weren't getting channel 340, the most important channel of all, the Disney Junior Channel!!! He stayed for quite a few hours and didn't leave until 6:30pm. Since that was a little too late to go out with Penny we had dinner at home and then we all came out to the living room and sat on the floor. Tradition follows the youngest goes first so Penny went first, then Moses, then Hubby and then me. After having fun going through each of our stockings we turned to the presents Santa brought Penny and the few miscellaneous presents under the tree. It was immediately clear that Penny liked opening presents. She must have remembered how to tear open the paper from her recent birthday! She had a blast opening each one and seeing what was inside. I must say she got a pretty good pile of loot! A kitchen, a tricycle, stuffed animals, puzzles, a vaccuum cleaner, clothes and more Little People princesses for her castle!
When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...
