Your A Mean One Mr. Grinch...

 So we finished our little stint in Salt Lake and made our way over to Craig Colorado to spend a little time with Bryce's family.  The internship finished December 2nd which was a friday and i told my mom that we were going to go visit Bryce's family for a week and wouldn't be home tell the next saturday.  But I was lying.  We were only going to stay tell tuesday.  So instead of telling my mom the change of plans i decided to surprise my family by coming home early without any body knowing.  Well it took two days to get back to good ol' Spokane so we got to my parents house around 4 on wednesday. I was so excited to get home that when Bryce told me he had to pee really bad i told him to hold it and that i wasn't pulling over. So Bryce had to hold it for 90 miles or so.  So we arrived at my parents house to discover that neither of my parents were home. Brisa and Liv were the only ones there.  We got to talking and i got it in my head to play a really cruel joke on my mom.  So i called my mom up and told her that we wouldn't be able to come home the time that she thought we would and that instead we would be staying an extra few days.  My mom was at costco when she got my call and was super sad and disappointed that we weren't going to be there. I told here that we had gotten roped into staying with the Ellgen's for a nephews birthday.  Anyways after i called, Brisa got a phone call from my mom.  My mom told her that we had extended our visit with the Ellgen's and wouldn't be coming tell the following saturday.  Brisa said my mom sounded like she was crying.  I immediately regretted my decision to play this prank.  so we waited for forever tell my mom got home.  Finally when my mom walked through the door and saw us standing there she called me a mean daughter and was bawling.  She said that was such a terrible thing for me to do and i just replied back that it was a christmas miracle. It was a total grinch thing to do but it was a priceless memory i will have for the rest of my life. The day i pulled a fast one over my mom.  I probably won't be getting any present's this year but it was worth it.  My dad said that my mom called him crying cause we weren't coming tell later and he thought he was going to find her in the bathroom with her wrists slit that was how sad she was.  he chuckled on and off the rest of the night thinking about what we had done.  
So yeah we are back in Spokane and loving every minute of it.  But before we got back we spent time with Bryce's parents and kicked a little butt playing mexican train.  Below are some pictures of Rubster at Grandma and Grandpa Ellgen's house. I would like to point out Rubys white pants that make her look like a male gymnast. that is all for the moment.

Christmas Lights on Temple Square

So Yesterday night we thought it would be a good idea to go see the lights on temple square before we left for good this saturday.  BIG MISTAKE! lets just say this probably won't be a family tradition of ours.  Don't get me wrong the lights were beautiful and everything was great.  It was more that Ruby absolutely hated every minute of it. I think i have a grinch on my hands. The moment we got there she immediately started crying and fussing which if you know her isn't her at all.  Then out of no where her nose starts running like crazy and it started making it really hard for her to breath.  She started blowing huge snot bubbles which i thought was funny but she did not.  So we booked it out of there after being there for maybe 15 minutes.  Needless to say we didn't get to many pics.  When we got home we suctioned out her nose which was pretty gross and gave her a bottle.  After she finished her bottle, she was sitting on bryce's lap when she spit up this big glob of snot! it just plopped onto Bryce's arm it was disgusting.  But she was snot free the rest of the night and she was a happy girl after that.






I am pointing at the snot bubble take a closer look!

Even after that little fiasco I am still super excited about going home to Spokane for christmas and showing Bryce how the Elmer's have christmas! I told him to get ready for a lot of manheim steamroller and matching pajamas.
