Last night, John and I took the girls to see the "Festival of Trees"up in Salt Lake. We went with Ricky and Mindy and their little girl Gracie. Together, we had a wonderful time. The trees were beautiful and the atmosphere was full of Christmas joy! When the children were letting us know it was time to go home, we braved the cold air and hopped in the car. After buckling up, we headed back home to Provo. Ten minutes into our journey home, however, Ruth began to cry. Knowing that she was warm and recently fed, I just reached back and stroked her hair to try and calm her down. After several minutes of listening to Ruth cry, I could hear Millie yelling something in the back seat. I stopped to listen to what she was saying and couldn't help from laughing. She was saying as loudly as she could, "MOM! The baby is driving me nuts!" John also began to laugh as he knew she was referring to Ruth crying in the car seat next to her. After a while, Ruth stopped crying so all was well. When Ruth began to cry again, however, Millie exclaimed in an even louder voice, "Mom! She is driving me nuts again!". In Ruth's defense, I am sure that she tries to say the same thing as Millie pokes her, tickles her, kisses and squishes her face, and attacks her with love. Sisters are so fun! I just know that they are going to be best friends! Until then, I can't wait until Ruth is old enough to play with Millie and not drive her nuts all the time. ;)
