A Progressive Dinner...Sort of...

 We had a relaxing morning.  Got the house back under control after all that company and all that Christmas!  New stuff...finding a place to put it...putting Christmas stuff away! Josiah did a little research on our neighbor's Kindle Fire.  He has been saving his money for almost a year.  Has been saying he wanted an iPod Touch.  After we did our own parental research, we thought a Kindle would be a better use of his money and would line up with what he would use it for (and be allowed to use it for).  We asked to borrow Abby's Kindle so he could try it out...
 That night, we wanted to go see the drive-thru lights display.  We hadn't been able to do it before Christmas and didn't want to miss it.  We wanted to go early enough to be home and in bed.  I didn't want to cook.  Had cooked for a couple weeks' worth of company and was ready for a break.  And I had all these coupons for free food that was going to expire at the end of December.  So...I decided it was the perfect night for a progressive dinner!  We had 2 orders of free cheesy bread from Dominoes, a free pizza from Papa Johns, 6 free donuts from Krispy Kreme, free apples & milk from McDonalds, free chicken sandwich & 2 kids meals from Chick fil a, and free ice cream cones!  How about that!  It was so much fun!  We brought paper plates in the car and ate while we went through the lights.  It was great!  And didn't cost me a dime! Some of our favorite lights were :
