Day Date and Snow

This morning Tyson and I were able to go on a date.

Glasses shopping.

Lunch at Aladdin Cafe (my favorite!).

And a few last minute Christmas gifts (which was actually extremely unsuccessful.)

The glasses I chose.

I wanted to try something colorful and different...then I of course choose grey.

Then we came home and the snow came down hard.

The girls were so excited, especially Leila who has been praying for weeks for snow.

If I'm going to be completely honest, today wasn't all happiness and giggles.

Date night was fun but we had quite a bit of tantrums, meanness, and hurt feelings.

We were planning on hosting a couples game night at our house tonight (which was cancelled from sicknesses) and so we had to do a good cleaning of the house. We haven't yet figured out how to not make chores and clean up and horrid experience with lots of weeping and wailing.  But it got done and at least the house is clean and we did have some good times as well. Egg nog. Snow play. Harry Potter. Good times.
