With Thanksgiving behind us, and our bellies still full, we are launching immediately into Christmas mode on the Rooney train. Advent started yesterday, so we are starting our mornings by reading what good deed we should do that day and then eating a chocolate. Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone always did that?!
On Black Friday while the rest of the world shopped, we went to the Albany Pine Bush and did a workshop on gifts from nature. We went to our first holiday party that night at our neighbor's house which was a lot of fun. Then Saturday morning, we got up early and left for New Hampshire to visit our college friends, the Reeds. We had so much fun. For the first time, the kids really went off and played by themselves and the grown-ups got to chit chat. We met their adorable dog, Dexter. It is just so nice to be with friends where you can totally be yourself and they already know all your history. They've seen us at our worst, and we've seen them at their worst--and we're still friends! Been drunk together, had fights together, been in each other's weddings, survived losses, gone on trips, and known each other for 19 years! What's most impressive is 16 of those years has been long distance. We don't get to talk as often, but the connection is always there. We love you guys.
