First Saturday Of December

Last year, we weren't able to enjoy the first Saturday in December. Jay went somewhere and honestly, the kids and I don't enjoy going anywhere, may it be downtown or even eating out, when we are incomplete. I was so glad we were able to enjoy it this year.

The moment we arrived downtown, we had an early dinner at the newly opened cafe at the Carroll Creek Promenade, Lunchbox.


After dining on our way to Market street, we saw this free Smores "station" courtesy of Main Street Development.


We saw these carolers that we first saw outside CD Game Exchange last Black Friday.


We stopped by at the Cultural Arts Center. I am not really sure, but I think the different wreaths were for a silent auction.











By the way Jay wore a vest to keep himself extra warm.
Jason: Pa, you're the vest!


Jay wanted to check out some items at this store called Hunting Creek Outfitters.


Jason loved that hat.


Apparently, I found Nemo there.


The kids and I argued whether this was a chicken, a wild duck or a quail. I hate arguing so I said it was a bird.


I caught the boys looking at this item on the Pitcrew store window.


...and look closer. I think that's Jay and Jason.


We went to Retro Metro too.


It would be fun to find a few ice cubes shaped as dentures in your lemonade. No?


Jason said "I don't mind having that robot clock in my room."


Christmas jingle rings


I love this tree especially the ornaments on it. Jay and I bought a $10 Christopher Radko Mickey Mouse ornament back in 2003 and I accidentally dropped it last year. It broke my heart and up to now I still keep it even if the bottom is missing. So, for now, no breakable decor.





I think this clock would be perfect for the Lunchbox Cafe. Not the Marilyn Monroe one.


I would love to own all of these: Ducky measuring tape; turntable and tape recorder bags and camera and cassette tape purses.






Jason liked this bacon tie. I want a real one. ...I meant the bacon.


Still at the Retro Metro





Volt


That Cuban Place food truck



Some of the trees are not lit yet.


I'd like to try this one of these days.


Firestone's Culinary Tavern. I heard they have the best truffle fries.


... another free smores station in North Market Street.


I wanted Jason and Yna to have their picture taken here but the boy doesn't want to. *sigh


Check all the store windows in downtown. Let me know which one you like.

After our trip at downtown, we went to Walmart to buy outdoor Christmas lights and I thought I saw Santa there.



That's all for now.
