Wagner Christmas in AL--Part 1

Just like the other one, this Christmas post is coming a month late, but better late than never. This year we were blessed by the whole Wagner clan coming up from Florida to celebrate Christmas with us here in Birmingham. Mike's family and Mimi arrived on the 29th, which happened to be my 30th birthday. Mimi was kind enough to keep the four kiddos so Mike, Gigi, Marcus and I could go out to eat. I got to pick the restaurant, so we went to my favorite Thai/Sushi place, and then to see Avatar afterwards. (It had been at least a year, maybe two, since I'd seen a movie in the theater, so my perspective may have been a little skewed, but I thought the movie was GREAT.) The next day, Marcus had to go to work, so Mike, Gigi, Mimi and I took the four kids to the McWane Center. It was a good thing that we had a 1:1 adult/kid ratio because it was CROWDED that day. We all just each took a kid and followed him or her. We ran into one of our BFF's with his triplet 3-year-olds, and they joined us for lunch. At one point, because everyone else was up getting food, drinks, napkins, etc., it was just Gigi sitting at the table with seven preschoolers. People probably thought she was a preschool teacher on a field trip :) That evening, Traci and her family, along with Wendi and two of her friends, arrived. That topped us off at 15 people in our house at that point (five of them age 4 and under). Nevertheless, we all had a good time hanging out that evening. That's all the time I have right now, but look for more about our Wagner Christmas tomorrow.
