Tree lighting

[changehistory]

Yes, I know it's 19 days away, BUT, for those of you not paying attention (of which I am sure there are more than a few): Susan Boyle will be performing!!! Therefore, it's rather imperative we get there even earlier than we usually do.

It's Tuesday, November 30th this year. I think we probably should have lunch down there or something to make sure we get prime spots without having to have Sylar murder anyone. Just joking, Peter. Sort of.

And, just think, Baileigh! Sark! We can teach Irina how to ice skate!!!!!

...She's barely walking, Adam.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

You have to start them early! When they aren't afraid!

[elementof-risk.livejournal.com]

She'll be 14 months old. You are not putting her in ice skates.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

You? Are no fun at all anymore.

[elementof-risk.livejournal.com]

Hey...I am not protesting the tree lighting. I got you your room for the parade, and I will be there will bells on. Figuratively. If you make me wear actual bells, I will shoot you.

I'm cooking the turkey for you. I am not whining about the cold, like some geneticists I could mention, or my darling wife. I'll even bundle up my 14 month old, so she can see all the balloons and pretty colors.

I'm just not letting you put her in shoes with metal blades attached to them and try and get her to balance on ICE when she's just now figuring out how to balance on her own two flat feet.

...Fine. Next year we teach her to skate?

[elementof-risk.livejournal.com]

Next year we can see about teaching her to skate, yes.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

You know what I found out? Phoebe doesn't know how to skate!

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

...WHAT?

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I don't even know how it's possible!

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

We will have to remedy that situation. Maybe we should go skating this weekend. That way we can all loosen the muscles up a bit.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

We could bring everyone along.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

It needs to be fixed, Claire.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Adam, honey, I think we might want to let her master this whole walking thing--because she still occasionally falls down flat on her butt and then looks up at us all indignant like she has no idea how she got down here all of the sudden and it's our fault somehow--before we put razor sharp blades on her feet.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*huffs* ....Fine.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Maybe next year.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I'm going to hold you and the puppy to that.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Hopefully she'll be a little more coordinated by then.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

We can just skate her around leaning over and holding both her hands!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm not against skating around holding her this year, I just don't think she can keep her feet under her! Do they even make ice skates that tiny?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

How tiny is that tiny? I mean, like, for a two year old? There are all sorts of places that sell "toddler skates" but I have no idea what the sizes mean. *was not just Googling. really*

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

HA!

Strap on skates for toddlers -- adjustable for kids age 2 - 5. And they're double bladed for extra stability--nice and wide support, not a narrow little blade.

And they're pink.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay. I'm sold. Next year for sure.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I am all for lunch in the area so we can get the good seats.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I'm glad you're on board.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I want good seats. I have heard Susan Boyle and she has a magnificent voice. I would love to see her in concert.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

So would I. We should see if we can arrange that.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I can make sure to be there in time.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

....You always can.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Does this upset you?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Not upset, no.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

But...? I sense there is a "but" there.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* Nothing important, carp.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

It is not "not important" if it bothers you.

[youngerpetrelli]

*eyebrow* That's good. Bloodshed on the holidays kind of brings the mood down.

I love this whole time of year. From the time the leaves start turning until New Years, it's just friends and family and fun, and it's kind of magical... *yes, he's blushing now*

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*beams?*

I know. It's my favorite time of year, as well. *the blushing is adorable*

[youngerpetrelli]

*is distracted by the cute*

How big is the tree going to be? Do we get to decorate the whole castle? Or just home in the city? *is obviously okay with either*

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*his evol plan has worked!*

I don't know if we'll get Mohinder and Baileigh out to the castle in the cold, but we could try? And I think it needs to be a tree big enough to fill the foyer, clearly.
