This last week all of the womenfolk (Carlie, Beth, Nana D, me, and the girl cousins) went to go see the Nutcracker while all of the menfolk watched the boys. It was great! It was the first time I had seen the Nutcracker performed (no, Casa Grande's stirring rendition of the ballet does not count). I will say I was a little disappointed that they decided the Sugarplum Fairy was an optional character. Clara danced to the song, but it was still beautiful. It made me miss being able to devote more time to taking dance.
Getting there was easy... until we realized we had made 3 circles and still hadn't seen the building. "Oh, wait,wrong address. It's on a different street." We'll leave the navigator anonymous. We'll just say she has long, black hair and her name rhymes with, "Harlie." But we still got there :) However, the traffic was horrendous afterwards- it took us 2 hours to get from the parking garage to the freeway. It should have taken us about five. I'm sure I've knocked off at least 5 years of life from everyone that was in the car. I'm not the nicest driver, and it made it even more lively since the roads were covered in ice. Good times! .jpg)
While we were there, Kent and Grandpa Hills (Chris and Chad joined later after work) watched the boys. Kent took Brody, Zane, Taylor, and Braden sledding down the street. They had a ton of fun, and Brody got some serious speed on the hill. I had tried to go down the same hill, but I was too much of a sissy to not drag my feet to slow me down. Here's a video of all 4 boys giving it a go.
And this picture was just too funny not to post. Doesn't he look a little tipsy?

It seems like you had a great time with everyone there. The sledding looks fun, but no sound. I can't believe you didn't go down the hill fast!
Funnnnnnnnn! Looks like you stopped the video just as Taylor was about to fall over. I told Craig that we should adopt a three year old, a 5 year old and a 7 year old. We need people to play with around the house, and I don't think adults would be into the stuff we're into. Well- the stuff Craig likes to do for fun, anyway. Sure missed you guys at Christmas this year!
Looks fun. You shouldn't post pictures of your baby tipsy Steph, come on, you know that. Funny
