We enjoyed sleeping in on Saturday morning, and then went to the dealership to look at GMC Terrains. We were planning on getting one in the spring, but they had just got one in on trade with low miles. It had the options we wanted (V6, heated seats, remote start and the towing package). Unfortunately, the color was a no go for me - Mocha Steel Metallic. While we were there, we gave it a test drive. We also compared a new Terrain with the 2.4 L 4 cyl standard engine to the V6 (3.6 L 6 cyl). We preferred the V6, by far. Then we talked numbers and decided it wouldn't be that much more to just buy new. They had the perfect one in stock - Carbon Black Metallic, V6, AWD with remote start, heated seats and the trailering package. After looking at ordering in a new one, we decided to just go for it (or so we thought) because there had been some significant price increases.
We relaxed at home, and then went to mass and had a relaxing evening at home.
On Sunday, Adam and dad went ice fishing all day. Mom and I did a Sam's Club run and I stocked up on all our supersize favorites. Who can say "no" to a giant bottle of Tabasco? or Nutella? Not I!
On this little trip mom also planted the seed of "you should really get the power lift gate." Which is something I really wanted, but it only is available with leather. But that's another story entirely...
At home, mom, Christine and I decorated Christmas cut-out cookies. I also made Adam's favorite wreath cookies.
Anyways, the guys had a great time fishing and came home with 14 fish! They cleaned them up and then dad fried them up as part of our FRIED FOOD EXTRAVAGANZA!!! We had fresh deep fried perch, onion rings, pickles, cheese curds and Oreos. Yum!
As usual, Adam was the "Fry Master" for everything but the perch. Dad fried that up on the stove because of Christine's fish phobia.
The rest of the night we watched TV and I wrapped a bunch of presents for the Christmas BINGO game. Good times...
