Merry Christmas: Week 2 / Favorites

As you can see this blog is over 2 days late. This is due to the snow storm we were privileged to enjoy on Saturday in Cedar City. We decided to try something new or hopefully start a new tradition by going to the Cedar City Light Parade. The weather was great during the day. Actually Dave was a little miffed because there wasn't any snow to play in. As the day wore on the clouds started rolling in and by 5:00 it started to lightly snow. By 6:00 there was at least 3 inches on the ground and more coming. Dave and the girls got out of the car to play until the parade arrived. Ryder was ticked off because he had to stay inside with Mom. The parade finally arrived and was over within 15 minutes. Sure glad stayed for that.... Lucky for us we weren't planning on going back to St George, but instead staying the night at the Abby Inn. There was now at least 5 inches on the ground and still coming down. We watched movies and played around the room. Finally, bed time all was quiet.

Ryder woke up screaming at 1:30. He was not going to go back to sleep. His tummy hurt and he wanted everyone to know it. So after an hour of this Dave decided we should go home now and maybe he would fall asleep. So at 2:35 we were packed and loaded into the car and on our way home. Now there are at least 8 inches of snow on the car. We made in home by 3:30 and everyone was in bed before 4:00. Ryder didn't even stir when we put him to bed and slept until 8:00. Reganne woke up as soon as I put her to bed and said she had a nightmare. She wouldn't sleep in her bed.

One thing we did in the hotel room in between movies was ask the girls about their favorite things. Then we all quessed about what Ryder's would be.

I was amazed at some of their answers and at how similar they were. They are each so different and special. I am so lucky to be their Mom. Even though Reganne's new phrase is "You are not the boss of me" I quickly tell her that I am the boss of everyone in our house. Then she replies Not Dad!!! Then I have to admit she is right, but that we are both the boss of her. Then she will smile and walk off.
