Date night

Kris and Nolan are off enjoying “The Melodies of Christmas” at Proctor’s Theatre tonight. They’re tagging along with our friends, the Brownells.

Nolan was excited to get dressed up for his night at the theater. We joked that he would get to be mommy’s “date” for the evening.

Meanwhile, Thomas and I had a quiet evening in. After watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas” it was off to tubby time, then we read a good book and now he’s tucked away in bed.

There is really nothing good on TV tonight. I was hoping for some good, old holiday movie or special on somewhere, but no such luck. So I’m listening to Christmas music on Radio VH1 and am about to curl up on the couch with my current book, “The Tender Bar.”
