let there be light!

on saturday we finished putting up our christmas lights. the kids {LOVE} the blow-ups in the front yard. tonight we went to look at the gift of lights display at sunset park while sipping hot apple cider and hot cocoa. it really got us in the holiday spirit. when we got home and saw our house all lit up mia said, "mom, you can run in the house and get your camera to take pictures of us with the blow-ups." so i did :).

so you think you can dance!

i am {obsessed} with 'so you think you can dance.' if there is anything in the world that i'd love to be it would be a dancer, but i was not blessed with that talent to say the least...i trip over my own feet most days. it is my guilty pleasure each week to curl up on the couch and watch these amazing dance routines. mia and george enjoy it too. russ bought me tickets to the 'so you think you can dance' tour for my birthday (which isn't until next month). my mom decided it would be fun to take my sister and mia too. so the 5 of us all went. we didn't sit together, though, because russ and i got our tickets several weeks before my mom bought the other tickets. i would have loved to sit by mia just to see her reactions to all the different things. it was an amazing performance!!! other than the lame commentary between each number, i enjoyed every second! mia absolutely loved staying up late. i have to give props to my wonderful husband for taking me to this when the utes were playing their biggest football game of the season at the exact same time. it's a good thing we have a dvr! he's the best!
