the beginning of december

the kids and i made cookies for aunty amanda's birthday dinner. they were super helpers. we did one tray and when i turned around i found the next tray arranged like this...

WICKED! ash and i decided to go wait in line for wicked tickets. we went up on a thursday night and stayed with meliss (thanks meliss!). we thought we would get more sleep that way. we didn't think people were crazy enough to go more than two hours early. we planned on going around five. meliss suggested we should go earlier and if there was no line, we could sleep in the car. i'm so glad she suggested that. we got there after a slow start and there was a really long line already. we got in line around 4:45 am and found out that we were around the 400th person in line. bray had his christmas program at 9 am. i had to leave ash and come back up and wait another hour. we finally bought some great seats at 11:20 am. we were in line for over six hours. never thought i would be one of those people!

ash cruised by herself for almost two hours while i went to watch brayden sing his little heart out.
