... then I saw Santa Penn and elf Teller...

In spite of the inguinal hernia, I still went out tonight!

That's because I'm a busy, vibrant, woman, and that's what I do!

Plus, I wanted to get out and enjoy some social activity while it was reasonably warm.

See what I mean?

I had mid-60's today, with that or better all weekend.

The WSAV weather song doesn't show us going to hell until the early hours of Monday morning, remaining there until sometime Tuesday afternoon.

So, when Smitty texted that the S&K Friday Fiesta would have a new locale, I let him know I'd be there!

After all, I wanted to be sure to thank Mark for the fruitcake before I eat it all up.

(smile!) 

We met up at Tubby's Tankhouse, where even the fish mounted on the walls were dressed festively, sporting reindeer antlers or Santa hats on every single one of them!

I tried to get a candid of Tony and Smitty, but that didn't happen.

One would move out of the frame every time!

I finally had to settle for this one with Dood, as he knew what I was doing and was waiting for me to click the little button.

Click!

(smile!) 

That's Addison beside him, home from UGA for the winter break, and chatting nonstop with Becca.

Continuing clockwise around the three-table configuration was Becky, sis-in-law Mary (waving there on the end), Robin, and s-i-l Laura.

Addison and I were anchoring the middle.

The Kameron brothers were to my left, with Jimmy beside me and Mark on the end.

Get this: they knew I was coming, so this middle-section seat had been saved just for me!

Very nice!!!

(smile!) 

Don't think I forgot about snapping a pic of my biggest little brother!

Here he is, with Mary right by his side.

Together, they were figuring out how much to add on for the waiter, Freddie, who had been awesome.

A 20% gratuity had already been tacked to the bill, as we had such a large party.

However, they come here a right good bit and quite possibly had requested him.

They got it sussed though!

(smile!)

Then we all made out goodbyes, with me getting and giving hugs all around!

Yes, that's one of the best parts of these Fridays with family - the hugs!!!

And when I tuned in to "Penn & Teller's Fool Us", it was a very special holiday show featuring only vetted magicians!

Each of the entertainers got a special 'Fool Us' trophy - sweet!

The giant Penn was dressed as Santa and made quite a formidable-looking Claus, for sure.

But I loved Teller in his elf outfit, with those crazy shoes and leggings!

So much good magic, too, in the air, at the restaurant, and on TV!

Hooray!!!
