I just wanted to jot this down so i don't forget:
Last night we took the kids to "you do the dishes" We all picked out a Christmas item to paint. Charlie chose a large snowman dish to give to mommy and daddy. Adam did a penguin ornament. We had Jude do a hand print on an ornament. And I chose a large pillar candle holder.
We brought in some pizzas and drinks. We were there a long time. Jude wanted to run around. and fussed and we had to do his print twice. Adam was meticulous about his painting. I finally got to start my large piece around 9 pm! Charlie wanted to help and paint more...so she picked an ornament for mrs. Jones.
It was a fun evening. not relaxing with a 1 year old, but nice. we didn't take any pictures. didn't have any "screens" out. It was just the 4 of us working on projects and helping each other out.
I feel grateful for times like this. I hope that these are the memories charlie recalls when she looks back. it wasn't a cheap evening, but we were together and present.
