While my parents were here visiting, Erik and I went out on a date while they babysat the kids. We decided that our Christmas present to each other would be to go to a fine dining restaurant and a show. So we ate dinner at a place called Nobhill Tavern which was really good. Erik ordered a lobster dish and yes, I did try it. I can't say that I would ever order lobster but it really wasn't too bad either. We went to the show Ka at the MGM Grand, which was very entertaining. We still have a couple more shows that we want to see before we move so my parents are going to have to come babysit for us again soon!!!
We took the kids to the Springs Preserve to see all the pretty Christmas lights there. We went on a "sleigh ride" (wagon pulled by horses) and the kids rode on a "reindeer" (pony with fake antlers)! They got balloons in the shape of candy canes and made a Christmas ornament. It was a really fun evening for them.
This year Emmy and I took the boys with us to see the Nutcracker ballet. Spencer got a little bored towards the end and was only really excited when the Russian dance guy came out and was jumping around. He was asking to leave after the first half so next year it will be just Emmy and I again. She loves everything about the ballet, the story, the dance, and especially the outfits. This year they were even prettier than last year.
We had a great Christmas, as always, and I will post pictures very soon!
