Whenever the mister has to work late, Eben and I make a night of it. Eben laughed and said, “Hey Mom, we are having a date night tonight since Daddy has to work late?” Then he laughed again and said, “Next time if Dad doesn’t have to work, we should get him a babysitter.” So that is what we did, we had a ‘date night’. First we went to our guitar lessons, then we went thrifting, Eben found some books and a perfect little ceramic turtle. Then we we had a dinner of Greek salads, French Onion Soup and a baguette. Followed by an hour at our library reading in front of the fireplace. It was lovely to spend quality time chatting with him.
Today, I woke up early because my parents and brother arrive this afternoon. I want everything to be ready so that when they get here we can start to have fun right away. Our plans so far include me and Eben baking pies with my Mom. I am super excited for this, since the three of us have never baked together. Then we are going to spend the afternoon and early evening strolling around our lovely old town followed by dinner at one of our favorite local Mexican restaurants. Then tomorrow, my sister, brother-in-law and my beautiful nephews and niece will be here for Thanksgiving Dinner. I. can’t. wait.
What are your Thanksgiving Eve plans?
That sounds divine…the date and the plans for today and everything! I hope everything goes great! No plans here for today, but tomorrow thru Sunday will be eating and sleeping and just chillaxing!

Hi Angie,
It has been lovely. Now, I have about 10 minutes to catch my breath before everyone gets here. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving Jennie (from chilly chilly Ottawa) 🙂
Your date night post with your son was lovely. My daughter and I do the same when my partner travels out of town. It’s a bit daunting at first, but it always is so special in the end.
That’s super cute! It’s great that you and your kid have that type of relationship 🙂
Hi Jen,
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well. Date night with a child is fabulous. It is amazing to hang out one on one.
