This week in the Yelverton household...

It's been a fairly quiet week here...a few cool things happened...

Scott and I dragged ourselves out of bed for the Lunar Eclipse Monday night/Tuesday morning.  It was a pretty cool thing to see.

Before:

We took this picture at about 10:30pm Monday night.  It was a full, BRILLIANT moon.  There weren't any clouds close by and we had high hopes for the eclipse!



And in full eclipse:

 We set our alarm to get up around 2:30am.  We went out, and it had clouded up a little, but the first glimpse up in the sky took my breath away - and it wasn't just because of the cold.  To see the moon looking like this was admittedly eerie!  I could totally understand why ancient people would take celestial events as omens.  We only got a clear view for a few minutes before the cloud banks rolled around.  But, what a view it was!!!  It was also cool knowing that his particular lunar eclipse happened on the Winter Solstice - that won't happen again for hundreds of years.  It's also cool knowing that from here on out, the days will be getting longer and we are that much closer to spring, warm weather, flip-flops, coolers of beer and STUMP!!!  YAY!

Reina and Scott also put on some pretty funny dance/singing performances for us on Tuesday night.  The videos were taken right after their baths, and, well...I'll just let you see for yourselves.

In this first one, Reina found something in her shoe...wait for the dramatic crescendo at the end...

In this one, Scotty and Reina perform a duet, with a special guest appearance...

(Excuse my cough at the very beginning...still trying to get rid of the crud)

She gets a bit dizzy here...and Scotty is hanging out in the curtains waiting for his big break...

HAHAHAHAHAH!!  Hope this makes you laugh as much as it does me.  And I hope everyone has a very happy, safe and joyful Christmas.  Hug your family, your babies and enjoy every crazed minute of this holiday!!!
