As soon as Doug got home from work the five of us loaded up the van and headed to South Bend. It had snowed today and we weren't sure if the weather would hold out, but overall it was not too bad. Our first stop was the mall and we had a lot of luck at Barnes and Noble. After that we headed to Target. Doug worked with Cal on his gift buying spree, and I took the younger two. It took some time and crafty ways to hide gifts from each other, but we managed pretty well. Brett bought his gifts for everyone in Bloomington, so as of right now all of the Heinisch children have finished their Christmas shopping.
On the way home we stopped at Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. It was late and Wednesday night, but we figured there might still be a line when we got there. Fortunately, we had the place to ourselves. I really enjoyed dinner tonight. It is rare that Cal is with us, so it made it a lot more fun. I appreciate the time we get with him now as all to soon he will be off to college as well. The only dark spot of the evening was when the three of them decided that Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" rap song was better than any other song of the 80s or 90s that Doug and I played. We listened to them sing off key right along with Biz most of the way home - really missing the one Heinisch who seems to have any sense among the four. At least Brett would admit that "Just a Friend" was the garbage song of the 90s.
