For Xmas, R&D gave us a night away a hotel while they stayed at our house and watched the kids. All three of them. I cannot think of a better gift.
Since we had our company holiday dinner tonight in the Big City, it seemed like a good night to just stay away. We could have a few drinks and not have to scurry home, knowing the kids would be peeling our eyelids open at 6am.
Yummy dinner. Delicious dessert. Good friends. Waking up of my own accord. And an elevator with a shiny ceiling where you can take reflective photos.
