We did end up going to see Jurassic Park in 3D on Friday. Before the movie though, they do those ‘inside looks’ at other movies/TV shows. And they did one on Vikings!

I just wanted to say a quick thank-you to lizibabes, princesslanie, afra_schatz and denig37 for the yummy gingerbread men! In fact, I love gingerbread men.
