One of our gifts to Steve was a night out at the Opera followed by a great dinner at one of our favorite restaurants here. We went to see the Merry Widow and it was such a fun night. Unfortunately the Opera House itself is under construction so while we were in a very nice building I missed feeling like Mr. Darcy was sitting in the next compartment.
It was also a monumental night because it was the first time we had Blake babysit. They did a divide and conquer campaign. Rebecca had responsiblity for Luke and Blake had responsiblity for everyone. There was the one time that Rebecca called during dinner to say that Luka was refusing to go to sleep unless they meet his demands. That was quickly solved by Dad a.k.a the Baby Whisperer. They put Luke on the phone and Josh told him to obey the girls and go to sleep. When I called to check in 15 minutes later Kendra said, "oh yeah he went right to sleep after he talked to Dad." We came home to happy kids and felt very proud of them!

Wow, good for the kids! Congratulations, Blake!
Such a funny story!! We've been teasing Joel's mom about waking up Eli just to get more time with him when we've gone out a couple times. No baby whisperer here... just a Grandma who loves and enjoys her Grandson. It looks like you've all had a really great Christmas...we're looking forward to seeing you all soon!!
