Early Christmas

We Celebrated (an early) Christmas with some family this weekend...which Rubi loved (shocking, i know).

Rubi & her cousin Tori "getting along" as usual.

Rubi, Tori, & Uncle Jesse. Rubi must have been in the holiday spirit, otherwise this picture would have NEVER happened.

Dad & Rubi playing Rock band...we didn't see much of Dad on Sunday.

Aunt Lacey, and Rubi's cousin Jayda (Ms Claus).

Rubi's cousin Tommy thrilled with a robotic dinosaur.

This poor dog put up with 3 young girls, 5 loud little boys, and a showering of wrapping paper...all with that careless attitude only Perdita could keep.

What a good dog.

Rubi was thrilled with all of her gifts this year, which excited Neil and me. She was happy to unwrap all of the gifts, and happy to shout at us until we opened them.

awhh.

A nap-less Rubi spent most of the afternoon in the inflatable duck-tub (which we had to get rid of because she was terrified of it). My, how things change.

Rubi and Tori then bonded over hitting the duck over the head, until it quacked.

I think this was a very successful early Christmas party. Rubi was nice to other children (and Uncle Jesse), Neil got to play plenty of Rock Band, and i had the chance to take a lot of pictures.
