It's coming ...

Day 16: Bring Coffee to TheHusband (Random Act Wednesday)

For those who don't know, TheHusband works an evening shift (which is why neither he nor I is in these photos very often). Tonight, I packed up TheBoy, telling him we were getting coffee to take to some special people - I didn't want to mention the idea of Daddy in case he was busy, and the coffee was for everyone.

TheHusband wasn't there when we got there, but we allowed in to wait until there was a lull.

One of the supply staff members was there and was happily enjoyed a cup of coffee too.

Shortly after, TheHusband made it back. I'd called him ahead of time, so he knew we were coming, but everyone was still pretty excited.

And then we got a private light show.

Also, I was the recipient of a random act of kindness today: I stopped at the grocery store at lunch to pick up something for lunch.* A woman, who arrived at the checkout before me noticed that I only had one item, let me go ahead of her with her half-full cart. It was so appreciated. It really is the little things, friends. 

* While I am really enjoying these Advent activities, it has put a cramp in my meal planning. Next year, a wholesome meal just might be one of our activities.

Day 18: Give Gifts

Tonight, after TheBoy's My Gym class, we gave the gifts that he chose and wrapped to his classmates and to his teachers. It was very sweet.

Day 17: Wrap

Tonight we wrapped up the gifts that TheBoy picked out the other day.

Day 16: Mickey's Christmas Carol and Hot Chocolate

And, of course, this:

Day 15: Set up Nativity

Because all Nativities should be in front of Harry Potter.

Day 14: Messiah Sing

We go to Masterworks Chorale's Messiah Sing every year.

We met my parents and brother and his girlfriend for dinner before. And saw many old family friends there.

This year, he made it through intermission. Pain that it starts at 8:00. Too late.
