I’ve lost track of what we’ve been doing. It’s all a blur at this point. :)
Despite recent events there has been a lot of yuletide cheer: gifting, cooking, nibbling, playing of Christmas records, watching of Christmas movies, and visiting with friends and family. What there hasn’t been a lot of is outdoor play. It’s been too cold. And there has been a winter storm watch issued today.
The day before yesterday the girls made a list of things they are thankful for. (I really should scan them. They’re so great.) And last night’s advent was “fancy dress for dinner.”
We did this last year and they loved it. So simple and fun.
The girls chose to interpret the idea slightly differently than I had intended. They raided the dressup box. They asked Mark to put on a suit and I changed into a slinky black dress, which was all very ironic considering that hot dogs were on the menu. :)
We lit some candles and poured bubbly drinks into our special wine-glasses. Afterwards we played Uno by the tree.
