Today our Advent project was to decorate gift wrap. Jason did this with the kids and they really enjoyed painting Christmas lights on the packages (though they would have also enjoyed painting a lot more than lights. Clara's finger is in the air because it's the only way to enforce impulse control). After the presents were done, we also let them finger paint on paper so they could go to town and not be constrained by our rules.
We had originally scheduled our monthly date night tonight. That unfortunately had to be cancelled because Peg wasn't feeling well and she needs to be fully recovered by next weekend when we have our Christmas gathering so she really needed to rest. However, we can't really reschedule date night because this month is so full with the holidays and we were really looking forward to having a dinner where we got to talk in complete sentences. So we decided to have Halie come so we could go to dinner. We went to the Plaza, which is super lovely this time of year. It wasn't as good as a normal date night because we don't get to sleep in tomorrow, but it was still really nice and I'm glad we did it.
