Christmas at Grandma Marie's

This past weekend Dec 18th and 19th, we had our first Christmas reunion at Frank's mom in Charlotte. She gave both of her sons a nice gift for Christmas, a night at the Embassy Suites Hotel where she works with breakfast included. It was a nice getaway for us with not kids for one night. However,since it was my first night away from the girls I couldn't sleep all night, isn't that bad?. Marie, had her house decorated everywhere, from top (roof) to bottom, not kidding? She put a lot of work and thought into that. It was nice to have a Christmas together for the first time ever since I have been married to her son. My girls were so excited with her cat, called Bj, they had a sleep over that Saturday night with their cousins. Also, I had the opportunity to see Charlotte downtown, there were so many places I wanted to visit but everything was closed on Sunday except the malls. I had the great opportunity to visit the biggest mall outlet that I ever been "Concord Mills", I walked the 3 miles that this mall is about and found good deals. However, it was too much walk for a pregnant woman, I had to stop every mile. I met a nice peruvian lady Carmen, who works with my mother in law, she, her daughter, and me went to this mall, we had a good time. By the way, I had lunch at the best peruvian restaurant that I have visited so far here in NC, called "Machupichu". They have the best seafood and pollo a la brasa (rostisseri chicken peruvian style)that I have ever eaten here in the States. Now, I know where to go to eat everytime I go to Charlotte. I know Marie had a good time with my girls while me and Frank went out, we enjoyed, thank you Marie.
