So it has been nearly a year and dh and I finally were able to go out alone to his christmas party while my mom stayed at our house to watch dd. As soon as I text her to check up (which was when we arrived) she tells me that the power has gone out. She ended up watching dd for 2 hours in the dark but luckily I was able to direct her how to turn on the gas fireplace and she got dd to bed alright. The rest of the night went smoothly though and ended with dh winning sailor of the year at his command.
