Tonight, we tended the Clark kids and Owen while Melanie and Dave went Christmas shopping and Amy and Jason went on a date. They dropped their kids off to me at mom and dad's house and then I took them home with me. Good thing I drove the truck today, or we wouldn't have all fit. It was cute cause when we left mom and dad's, Jake asked me how long it took to get to Richmond and I told him about 20 minutes. When we got to North Logan/Hyde Park, they were working on a power line or something and traffic was backed up way bad. And Jake was like, "we're not even gonna have time to anything when we get to your house." He was really wanting to play Rock Band and was bummed that we were stuck in traffic. We stopped at "BcDonald's" in Smithfield and picked up dinner.
After we ate dinner, Steve, Kenzie and Jake played Rock Band.
Owen read his "Charlie Brown Christmas" book while Brooklyn colored. And Brinlie just kind of hung out, playing with the other guitar and playing with her pony from her kids meal.
To get settled down a bit, we watched The Grinch.
Jake wanted to keep playing Rock Band, but the little girls wanted to watch a movie, so Jake colored and ended up falling asleep during the movie. 
It was a fun night! Owen loved running around the kitchen. Brooklyn loved taking individual ornaments off my tree to look at them better. Kenzie was really good to help out and make Brinlie eat her food. Jake was a drummin' fool and Brinlie kept me entertained the whole night!
