Yeah! I had the privilege to take Meg's boys and Ruby to the Nutcracker at
WSU. It was put on by Ballet West.? Anyway- a GREAT, very professional performance. Dex won free tickets from school and since Meg had Owen, she let ME take them. I was wanting to go anyway this season but decided against it
cuz they were 18$ a ticket for the nose bleed section. I enjoyed it more than the kids I'm sure...but they did really well to sit
thru 2+ hours of dancing and Ruby was impressed with a 'movie that was real'.
It did get a little crazy at the end, I wished I'd brought more bribery foods. They got just a wee bit restless...
And Megan stayed at MY house while we went, since Liam was asleep... what a great sister!!! This is what I came home too...a quiet little house with everyone snoring.
THANKSgiving Day......
involved a kid craft...
A little football...
Dad carving the roast beast...(and Jared P. watching
Simpsons of course,... gag)
A little lovin...
and the famous 'swing shot'...
Ruby passed out looking at herself in the mirror the following day...I sent her in my room to go 'check out her hair' and came in to find
this 5 min. later...what a crack up...
We saw the tree lighting at Gateway Mall the next night with Marty's family. Jon
Schmidt was there
live to perform (though we only saw the last number) he is an incredible pianist/performer
...
excitement filled the air...
for
all ages...(like daughter, like father)
Ruby was a little nervous for Mr. C., and on the way home she exclaimed-"Mom/Dad I forgot to tell Santa about the
pedals! I just said a
bike!" It's alright Rube, most bikes come with the pedals attached...dear girl.

Your holiday season sure is starting off jolly and filled with family memories!
I swear you have the most precious family. I love seeing the pictures. You guys are also one of the most active families around - too fun!
Aaww! Miss you guys so much! Love the update and all the great photos! Happy Holidays! Hope to see you soon...
I think you should get her the bike and remove the pedals...Hehe
Sure miss you guys, just got your super cute Christmas card. Thanks for thinking of us.
OH my gosh, Mindy. Such fun pictures. I want a coat just like Ruby's. Serious.
What's wrong with The Simpsons? And that is such a funny picture of Ruby on the floor. She must have just been so exhausted at her extreme beauty.
Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow!
Sounds like you guys have done a lot of fun things. THat is a cute picture of ruby on Santa Clauses lap.Fun
Okay, seriously? I am sitting here all alone on my bed in a silent house with my laptop and I see that picture of Ruby passed out on the floor and I BUST UP LAUGHING out loud! Why is that so funny to me? I looks like a crime scene! It just cracks me up how kids can do stuff like that. She seems like the most adorable funny little girl. Oh, and the pedals comment is too cute. Don't you love when they say stuff like that? Good times...
I haven't been to the Nutcracker forever. That sounds like tons of fun. Looks like you guys are off to a great start this holiday season! You're kids are darling!
