Every year, we look forward to our Christmas outing with Miss Alice. Unfortunately, this year it was delayed because she wasn't feeling well, and then the Covid numbers were uncomfortably high. But finally this week we did it!
The kids had fun browsing the bookstore and choosing a book. CC picked a Harry Potter guided journal called Courage: a Guided Journal for Embracing Your Inner Gryffindor. Sweet Pea picked a non-fiction book, Pirate Queens: Dauntless Women Who Dared to Rule the High Seas. And Little Man -- surprising no one -- picked the Star Wars Encyclopedia of Starfighters and Other Vehicles. Everyone was happy, and Alice enjoyed her conversations with the kids as she helped them narrow down their selections.
Afterwards we treated Alice to a nice lunch. The restaurant was even nice enough to give us a private room! It was a wonderful -- although belated -- way to celebrate our annual tradition with Alice.
