Quiet Evening

Monica stopped by and picked up Charlie to go on a date with her Godson. Charlie said they had fun at the airport watching the planes take off. Then they went and got his favorite cookies, Mom's cookies. He made sure to bring some home for the rest of us. At dinner we've been following some Advent meditations. Each night has a word and the words go in alphabetical order. Charlie gets to guess the letter that he thinks he sees on the page (He has gotten most of them right. We're so proud!) Then Annie tells us what she thinks the word might mean. So Charlie guessed "Q" tonight and the word was "Quiet." It was that sort of night. The house was clean so it felt so peaceful as we sat down for dinner. After dinner we made hot cocoa to enjoy with our "Mom's Cookies." It was nice to have a quiet evening at home with our little ones in the midst of all the hustle bustle of this season.
