Day 268: Celebrations

  • My niece’s drive-by birthday celebration was today. Everybody who was part of the “parade” met up in a large parking lot, then drove by her house one by one, horns a-honking, stopping just long enough drop off a gift and grab a few a cupcakes in return (or, in our case, more cupcakes than we would ever allow the children to eat, because Auntie always gives us extra desserts). As we were the last in the parade, we pulled into the driveway and briefly chatted with my SIL outside, the first real social contact I’ve had since forever. It was nice, even if we couldn’t see each other’s faces because of the masks.
  • Last night’s craft party went well. Here are some of the ornaments that we made.
Excepting the ghosts, these ornaments are wood cutouts that Livia, my husband, and I colored with markers and decorated with various craft supplies, including glitter glue, jewels, pompoms, tissue paper, and feathers. Marshall has been on a ghost kick since we made our Halloween decorations. Having made pilgrim ghosts for Thanksgiving and a birthday ghost for his Dad’s birthday, he has now moved on to Christmas ghosts. They are cute additions to our holiday decor.
  • I have already prepped the kids’ Advent tickets for tomorrow and the following day. Sometimes I amaze myself, which is good, because it helps to offset all the times I disappoint myself :p
