Earlier this week Ryan was able to go with Isaac to his Fruit with Fathers breakfast. It happened to fall on his day off and during American Education week when parents are invited to stay and observe classes. I have always wanted to go, but obviously, have never been able to make that happen **insert crushing working mother guilt here**. Isaac convinced Ryan to stay for Social Studies, gym class, and the book fair..
I had a nice lowkey birthday. This was a present from Ryan:
Megan Tonjes is one of my favorite singers and she was coming through town at a little coffee shop in Ardmore. We also had a really nice family dinner with my brothers at my mom's house and my Mom and Dad drove in one night and met us at Olive Garden.
My parents gave me a gift certificate for People's Light and Theater to take the kids to their Christmas Panto. So of course I pestered Ryan incessantly to figure out the schedule until we were able to book tickets for a Saturday in December. My parents have always taken us to the theater growing up. It is fun to keep the tradition alive with Isaac and Ryan's girls. It does make me feel a bit better that even with me being grossly pregnant, I don't have to miss out on all of the Christmas traditions and I really am looking forward to taking Allison and Gabby. We don't ever get much holiday time with them, and I am trying hard to think of traditions we can include them in.
