We got to see Ruby play at sharing day. She played Lightly Row with both hands together, the whole song! I was so amazed how she took off once I helped her through the first two lines. She knew how to play the whole song through with her hands separate, but she figured out how to combine her hands for the last two lines all by herself. She plays it ALL DAY LONG, she LOVES playing the piano.
The men spent three days working on the big toy in the back yard. We got a slide on craigslist, but after six months of looking, Chris wound up driving to SURREY, BC CANADA to get the slide! He left after work and got home around midnight. These slides retail for $2,500 (no, that is not a typo) and they aren't easy to come by used. We got it for $141 US, and the gas is free. The kids already play on this thing constantly, so I'm excited to see how much fun they have on the new slide. I need to take a finished picture when it's all done. The slide is hung currently and in use.
The girls buried Chris in a heap of throw pillows.
Everyone sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner. I realized that I haven't updated any of the fancy things that you only really buy when you register for your wedding...anyway, the tablecloths I registered for don't fit our bigger table! Oh well, it was a nice meal, and looked pretty enough for us.
On the last day they were here, we did some Christmas decorating after going out to breakfast and having the birthday party. Just a few ornaments are up, but the tree is there...we need to finish tonight. Here's Ruby with Gpa, Gma and Alice. We miss you!
