That was Ruby's comment one night as we left the drive through festival of lights near KC and Emily's home.
We just returned from a fun time visiting Ruby, Bennett, Alex, Emily and KC and had a great time with everyone. Every morning as soon as we were up Ruby would ask in her sweet little voice, "go jump on the bed?" They all loved jumping on the guest bed, a treat that they don't get to do all the time. We played Pet Store, Super man, dance and freeze, and wrap up the babies. I loved their chatter, laughs and giggles, and when they reach up and say 'hugs?', meaning they wanted to be picked up.
Here's a sample of the fun times we had:
Charmer Bennett

You can't see much in this video, but there are three sweet voices that burst into song as we were preparing to go for a drive.
This one features Ruby and her random song and comments after our evening visit to the Festival of Lights.
Decorating the live tree with enthusiastic helpers
Started with bits of leftover roast, peas, cooked carrots, gravy
and mashed potatoes.
Broke up the meat, added peas, carrots and gravy.
Heated that up in the microwave.
Served over a thin spread of warmed up mashed potatoes on the
plate.
Super fast and tasted like pot pie without the crust, and
without an hour of baking. More like 10 minutes to pull it out and heat it up. Best kind of cooking.
Clyde liked it a lot.
Gonna add this to easy meals, after a Sunday roast.
I created a little quick dinner recipe tonight. Super easy!
I had a bag of Aidells chicken teriyaki pineapple meatballs from Costco.
I sliced some Torta rolls by La Brea bakery also found at Costco. (these rolls make anything taste great- you'll be hooked once you taste them.)
I heated the meatballs in some Yoshidas gourmet cooking sauce, just until it thickened and glazed the meatballs.
I broiled some pineapple slices. (canned!)
I served the meatballs and pineapple on the Torta rolls, and added a slice of Colby cheese. Any kind of cheese would taste great. It was a big sandwich but delicious.
Fast and yummy! Definitely a new addition to my dinner options.
I did not take a picture. I had no idea we would love it so much!
The awesome parents
