Girls lunch today at Mimi's
Lois invited her two daughters that live here and her three daughter-in-laws to lunch at Mimi's today.  I am kicking myself around the room right now for not taking a picture.  Anyway, there were six of us: Lois, Dawn, Rebecca, Cathi, Laura, and I.  We met at the Mimi's on Alma School and Southern around 11 am.  We all chose to order from the lunch menu.  I had the chicken chopped salad and a buttermilk spice muffin.  The salad was good and the muffin was great!  It was super fun.  I don't think any of us expected Lois to pay but she said she had a gift card and insisted.
 
James was worried we weren't going to get to do taco Tuesday but I assured him we would.  Later this afternoon we went to a little Mexican dive on Chandler Blvd and McClintock that has been around since we first moved to Chandler.  It is called Espo's.  We liked the tacos, refried beans and green chili burro.  I am ready to up our taco Tuesday game to nicer restaurants that have a little atmosphere.  Dawn says Barrio's in Phoenix is supposed to be the best Mexican food restaurant in Arizona.  I also would like to try La Hacienda's, a place I heard of on Facebook, and Garcia's.  I haven't been to Garcia's in years.
 
This is what my hand looked like this morning when I first got up.
It's hard to write when your hand is puffed up like a toad.
 
This even Max had a band concert at Hancock Elementary School.  He is in the fifth grade band and plays the trombone.

Both the fifth and sixth grade bands performed.  I really enjoyed the concert and was proud of Max for receiving an award for Most Improved!  We sat by Sheri, Ian, and Evan.
 
We finally made a decision regarding the realtor who will represent us while we have our house on the market.  Her name is Jen MacClay.

 I had breakfast with Darrel this morning.  He gets to go home today when his shift ends at 3:30.  We had more fog today.  Darrel says it takes him a good 15 minutes longer to get into work when it is foggy.

I went into town this afternoon to get something to give Shelly and Kelly for babysitting last night at the Relief Society activity.  I want them and the other girls to know how much we appreciate their willingness to serve.  I also picked up my order of Nerf guns from Walmart.  

James got home from the valley this evening just as I was leaving for Mutual.  Tonight we had our Christmas party for the girls.  We had a white elephant gift exchange and gave each of the girls a Christmas gift from their leaders.  It was a fun evening but I wish I would have made some cookies.  We did have soda's to drink for refreshments but cookies would have been nice too.
Those girls who attended: Kyah, Alice, Hope, Heaven, Maddie, Kilee, LeeAnn, Kelly, Trenda, Coty, Shelly, and Jordyn.  The best turnout we have had all year!

Back at home in Chandler Max had a band concert.  

I watched two Christmas movies today: "A Christmas Secret", and "Silver Bells."
