Today was a hard day. Jason is working his 8 day hitches - get's to be a long week. BUT I decided when Jason got home we were going out to dinner as a family. And it was just the ticket. I think we all needed to get out and enjoy some family time together!! We went to our favorite mexican place, had a wonderful meal (with left overs!!) and drove around looking at a few Christmas lights. The kids thought that was great! It was so cute listeing to them ohh and ahh and shriek in the back seat. Kids after my own heart! Finished it off with reading from our advent book. So even though it was a hard day - we had a lovely evening!
