We have recovered from our fast and furious road trip to Niagara Falls {see that trip here} and have been enjoying the nice weather in Arkansas. Just being up north for even seven months has made coming to Arkansas feel like summer all over again. They had temps in the 50's yesterday- so nice!
Harbor loves seeing familiar faces. It makes me sad to know we have nothing familiar yet in Detroit. We are working on a "new" normal there, but nonetheless, there is nothing as joyous as seeing a room full of 50 people who know and love you.
In the last few days, we have:
1. Gone out to eat as a big family
2. Taken a family ice skating trip where Harbor ice skated for the first time.
3. Decorated Harbor's very own tree in his room at Gigi and Poppy's house
4. Cooked many dinners at home
5. Continued with our nightly Advent book reading {we packed them all and brought them to Arkansas!}
6. Snuggled with our dog and spent hours playing and coloring
7. Made our annual "Gigi and Harbor" trip to the mall to add to our Santa picture collection.
8. Melted chocolate and Andes mints to make Christmas candies
9. Played at Harbor's "park" at my parents' house
10. Went out on a date- the first since Thanksgiving that we have been alone! We went to Target and a movie. Just perfect! I adore movies, so a movie night is my idea of a good time!
My parents recently bricked an interior wall in their kitchen, added granite counters, and travertine back splash. I need to take some pictures and show you how pretty it all is!
The next few days look to be very merry and bright!
