Great Meals with Fabulous Friends
We enjoyed our Christmas Brunch at the Cheesecake Factory at Cumberland Mall.
Terri’s ornament was first out of the box.
But it was soon stolen by Cindy. So Janet opened again.

Both Julie and Terri opened new gifts.
Kim stole from Cindy. No more steals for that ornament.
Cindy opened gift number 2. But then Janet stole that after Nancy S. Stole her bird house ornament.
