Santa Rosa Christmas

Happy New Year! We rung in the New Year doing Rock band-our friends got it (Greg and Jamie's kid's got it too) Anyway it is really fun-I couldn't stop doing it. Christmas was fun in Santa Rosa-and interesting...The funniest was acting out the Nativity on Christmas Eve. We recorded it and it was a full on production with costumes, narration, and direction. What made it so funny was that Rick (Luke's Dad) would be taping and then between "scenes" he forgot to turn it off so you hear all this yelling from Sherrie, "Why are you guys in there? The audience is in here!" "Relax mom geez!!" "Why aren't we doing it like this!?!" and then a crotch shot of Rick as he's moving from room to room. Then finally Matt (Luke's bro) saying, "Dad why is the light on? Are you recording now?!" Then a 2 minute tutorial on what the rec means and the green light. OK it's probably not that funny reading about it, but it was HIGHlarious watching it. Oh and Luke was the innkeeper at each inn and he would start laughing so hard every time it was his turn to talk. Gabrielle was super excited and had so much fun the whole trip. In the pics-Luke playing with Cal at his old elementary school, Gabrielle being the angel and said her line "Fear not", Us at the Discovery museum in Sausalito (with all the granola parents and same sex couples)-it's a cool place though. You can kinda tell in the pic that Gabrielle is biting her lip-she's been doing that so much lately. Luke saw her looking in the mirror covering her lip with her hand :( A few weeks ago she was commenting on how Cal's lip is small and how mine is too-she said she wanted hers to be small too. I told her that in a few months we were going to make it smaller at the Doctor's, but she was like "No No I don't want it smaller it's fine mommy". She's fine though-it doesn't phase her-she's just really thoughtful. I wish you all could experience the insanity I deal with on a daily basis with her "fashion statements". I don't care what she wears when we're home, but when we have to go somewhere I have to mentally prepare for the spaz out that will almost always occur. Just when I think I've got her in an outfit, she manages to make it crazy looking. The latest thing is wearing jeans or leggings and rolling or pulling them up above her knee. I mean that's not horrible with the leggings, but with the jeans it looks ridiculous. In Santa Rosa she put Cal's white button down on and thought she looked really good-of course she finished the outfit off with her off white leggings (pulled up). So let's see more pictures!! Thank you Maggie for putting some pics on -Jaylon is SO cute, I want to squeeze his chubby mocha thighs. Mom-you do look good in that picture, and sexy is definitely a word I would use to describe a grey long sleeve dress with a white round collar! Love you guys!!!
