a guys night out...

that's what we gave our kids for Christmas this year...
a night out...
together...
as most of you know, both boys are unemployed this season...
and flat broke...
so...
I had this idea of what to get them this year and ran it by DH...
he thought it was a good idea, too...
I kept trying to figure out what to get them...
and then this idea popped into my head!

what's the most fun thing to do at Christmas?
give to others!
so...
the guys got a night out of shopping together and then they got to eat out...
just the 2 of them...
on us...

that gave them a chance to plan and plot...
keep secrets...
spend some quality time together...
something they don't do much off anymore...

and they bought for us and they even got to pick something out for them...
which will be wrapped and saved for Christmas eve...

so, they did this last night...
Craig took off for town as soon as his dad got home from work...
DH and I stayed home, enjoying the peace and quiet...
made homemade pizza, which was most excellent...

Craig ran in and picked up his big brother and a shoppin' they went...
and you will not believe where they ended up eating out at...
they could have gone anywhere...
but they picked Dairy Queen...
go figure...

well, anyway...
what I wanted to give them was a great memory that will last through the years...
long after we are gone...
the best gift was letting them give together...
spend time together...
without us...

;)
Merry Christmas, guys...
mom & dad love you bunches
