R House Christmas Program

Isla and Drew's daycare, R House, put on their Christmas program last week and it was a big hit! The kids got to sing songs, eat cookies and get a gift from Santa himself. What could be better?

Isla was very excited to get dressed up:

Drew, or Mr. Snaggletooth as we like to call him now, got to wear his Christmas-y sweater:
Isla was very excited to hang out with Payton:
To our surprise, Drew actually participated in the singing part of the program. Ryan and I were shocked that he sat there the whole time and didn't move.  They even put a vest and reindeer antlers on him:
Poor Miss Isla got a bum pair of reindeer antlers and they were in her face the whole time.  It didn't stop her from singing every song though - Ryan and I were very proud of her.  I couldn't stop laughing every time I looked at her:
Here is a little video clip I managed to get.  I couldn't get a good shot of Isla due to my vantage point and her silly antlers, but she's in there if you can spot her:
After singing, Santa came and gave every single kid a gift!  Ryan and I are so impressed with the show that R House puts on, they do such a great job.  Isla actually sat on Santa's lap, but she is still a little leery of him:
Better get used to him sweetie, we will be seeing him again soon.  Drew just stared at him:
And here is the shot at the end of the night - Isla looks like she is on the verge of tears and Drew has no idea what is going on.  Pretty typical:

Third Annual Pub Crawl

So I think I am just now recovering from our wild third annual pub crawl this past weekend. Due to my lack of camera (see previous posts) I didn't have any pictures of the trip. Ryan did manage to take some late night ones with his iPhone, but I think I'll spare our fellow pub crawlers potential embarrassment. I did steal a couple from Molly's blog who in turn got them from our good friend Brooke (thanks Brooke & Molly).

Molly, Amy and I at the beginning of the night:
All of us pub crawlers getting ready to enjoy the finer bars of Meridian and Kuna:
Such a fun night . . . just wish I could remember the last hour.

Oh (tiny) Christmas Tree

Due to this one:
and his mischievous, yet cute ways we made the tough decision of not getting a big Christmas tree this year. I love my Christmas trees and can't wait to get a real one next year. The pre-lit three footer just isn't doing it for me. On the other hand, this three footer was pretty cute decorating the tiny tree:
