quote of the night

Dec 8, 2018

I ordered a pizza for the three kids (Addi is here tonight). I answered the door and the delivery dude was like, “I wouldn’t normally say something like this to a customer, but holy shit that is a huge Christmas tree. It’s beautiful. Can I be here on Christmas morning? Do your kids know how lucky they are?!” It sounds a bit weird when I read it back, but I promise it was actually really sweet and cute and genuine.

Tonight’s Christmas countdown activity was making ornaments.

We made ornaments and watched Elf. It was a good night. I’m happy to have them back at home.

This year, D and I decided to choose a different wrapping paper for each of us to show off our personalities.

It’s super obvious, but…from left to right: Dave, Freya, Jackson, Jenn.

I’ve only wrapped five of D’s presents and I’m already out of paper, so I guess I’m going to Target today.

I still need to add the bows and ribbon.

I plan to buy us a special ornament every year. I’m planning a trip to Hallmark this weekend. In fact, D promised me we’d go Christmas decor shopping this weekend since we’ll be alone. It’s hard to go with the kids because they want EVERYTHING.

This was last year’s ornament:

The rest of the decorating is in progress. We’re going to need to do a bit of shopping in order to finalize things. For now, a pizza is on its way, and I plan to cuddle up on the couch to finish Orange Bitter.
