00:00:00Do you know it was this night a year ago that we first met?
00:00:15You know, for a cup of hot cocoa and a line of eager shoppers?
00:00:19Thank goodness for Black Friday.
00:00:22Oh, I've never been so glad I got up in the middle of the night to go shopping.
00:00:25I feel the same way.
00:00:30Okay, everyone, Ashley and me are staying here with Glenn.
00:00:37Kim and I are going downtown, and anyone else who wants to come along, we are leaving in five minutes.
00:00:43Does anyone want the leftover turkey?
00:00:45Me?
00:00:45No, honey, we won't eat this fast enough.
00:00:48Vicki!
00:00:49Nope, no time for that.
00:00:51Kim, let's go.
00:00:52What happened to leaving in five minutes?
00:00:54Come on, get your coat.
00:00:55And with that, Thanksgiving is over.
00:01:01Are you coming?
00:01:02No, I promised Hunter I'd tag along with him.
00:01:05Ashley, I'm going to head out now.
00:01:07You all good here?
00:01:08Yeah, me and I are going to watch a movie.
00:01:10Okay, let's get in your jammies.
00:01:11We will.
00:01:13Have fun.
00:01:14You too.
00:01:15I'll see you tomorrow at my place?
00:01:16I will pick up Ashley after Vicki and I are done shopping and bring her to you.
00:01:19Sounds good.
00:01:22Okay, let's go.
00:01:25Thanks for dinner, Catherine.
00:01:27Oh, you are so welcome, Theo.
00:01:28Good night.
00:01:29Good night.
00:01:44Okay, that cleans up the list I made for all the sales.
00:01:47Can I go home now?
00:01:48No, the night is still young.
00:01:50It's 4 a.m.
00:01:51Yeah, I'm just getting started.
00:01:52Come on, this is invigorating.
00:01:54Okay, you love the thrill of the deal, but I am starting to value sleep more.
00:01:58Oh, too bad.
00:01:59Come on, we've only had a few stores.
00:02:01Pull yourself up by the bootstraps, Kim.
00:02:02I still have half my Christmas list to do.
00:02:04Half?
00:02:08I'm surprised you're shopping with me, not Kim.
00:02:10Yeah, her sister-in-law snagged her first.
00:02:14It's okay, though.
00:02:15I actually need to get something for Kim without her being around.
00:02:19Clarissa didn't want to come?
00:02:21No.
00:02:21A night of no sleep didn't sound any different to our usual, so she stayed home with the baby.
00:02:26Tori still not sleeping through the night?
00:02:28Nope.
00:02:29How are you guys coping?
00:02:31We're alive.
00:02:32That's got to count for something.
00:02:33Yeah, Ashley slept through the night of two months.
00:02:37Rub it in, why don't you?
00:02:41Oh, over here.
00:02:42This will keep you warm and keep you going.
00:02:44Fine.
00:02:45Hi.
00:02:46Two hot chocolates.
00:02:46With or without whipped cream?
00:02:48With.
00:02:48Without.
00:02:50So, what do you need to get Theo and Ashley?
00:02:53Ashley's easy.
00:02:54A couple of toys on the Snoopbook series she wanted.
00:02:57Theo is a little harder, but I have a couple of ideas.
00:03:00Yeah, I mean, you guys have been dating for nearly a year now.
00:03:02Wow.
00:03:03Yeah.
00:03:04Do you think I should get him something big, like significant, because of that?
00:03:10Um, depends on how he is.
00:03:11I mean, like, when Glenn and I got married, I figured out real quick that all he cared about was quantity, not quality.
00:03:17So, as long as I got him a bunch of presents, no matter how small they were, the happier he was.
00:03:22Here you go.
00:03:23Oh, here.
00:03:24I got it.
00:03:27Cute.
00:03:27Thanks.
00:03:29Merry Christmas.
00:03:30Okay, on to the clothing stores.
00:03:35Okay, uh, I think I'm going to head home.
00:03:37Are you done?
00:03:38No, there's one more store I'm going to wait for, but it doesn't open until nine.
00:03:41I might actually go grab a bite to eat.
00:03:43Oh, food sounds good.
00:03:44What store?
00:03:46Jewelry store.
00:03:48Do they have Black Friday deals?
00:03:50Uh, no, I ordered something in.
00:03:52You ordered something for Kim?
00:03:56Wait, are you going to propose?
00:04:02Maybe Glenn's idea of quantity over quality has merit.
00:04:06You'll figure something out.
00:04:08Hey, what do you think of this for your mom?
00:04:10It's cute.
00:04:10Oh, she asked me to pick up tickets for this year's Christmas carol play.
00:04:15You're coming, right?
00:04:16Of course.
00:04:17Theo and Ashley are coming, too.
00:04:18Just make it on a Saturday if you could.
00:04:20I am so swamped as is.
00:04:22Okay, yeah.
00:04:22Why?
00:04:23Uh, Theo's talked about some things as we've been scheduling out the month and put that with what we normally do for Christmas.
00:04:29It's crazy.
00:04:30You two coordinate your schedules?
00:04:33We're both busy.
00:04:34It's just cute.
00:04:35That's all I'm saying.
00:04:36Are you sure it's not too early to propose?
00:04:40Why?
00:04:40You like Kim.
00:04:41I do.
00:04:42And I know you love her.
00:04:43So what's the problem?
00:04:44I just want to make sure you're ready for that.
00:04:47Oh, I am.
00:04:48I've known for a while.
00:04:49I just have to do something about it.
00:04:51All right.
00:04:53Put a ring on that finger, then.
00:04:54That's the plan.
00:04:56How are you going to do it?
00:04:57And when?
00:04:58So Monday.
00:04:59I'm going to take her to her favorite restaurant.
00:05:00Classic.
00:05:02Wait, Monday?
00:05:04What?
00:05:05Who gets engaged on a Monday?
00:05:18Good morning.
00:05:19How can we help you?
00:05:20I'm picking up a ring.
00:05:22Under what name?
00:05:23Theo Hall?
00:05:24Yes.
00:05:26Right here.
00:05:29Excellent choice.
00:05:31It turned out beautifully.
00:05:34Dad?
00:05:35Hey, you're home.
00:05:59Good morning.
00:06:01Good morning.
00:06:03How was your pick?
00:06:04I am so beat.
00:06:05I'm going to go home and take a nap.
00:06:07What do you plan the rest of the afternoon?
00:06:08We're going to start making the gingerbread for my house.
00:06:11The entries are due next weekend.
00:06:12Well, then I'll stay and help, then.
00:06:14You don't have to if you're tired.
00:06:15Well, I don't want to miss out.
00:06:17It's okay.
00:06:18It's just the baking and cooling.
00:06:20But you're coming to my grandma's house tomorrow to make chocolates, right?
00:06:23Yes, I am.
00:06:25Okay.
00:06:25Get some rest.
00:06:26Thanks.
00:06:27Hey.
00:06:29You look amazing.
00:06:32I love you.
00:06:34I love you, too.
00:06:36Bye.
00:06:37See you later.
00:06:40Hey!
00:06:41No peeking.
00:06:43I wasn't looking for myself.
00:06:45Did you get it?
00:06:47Yeah.
00:06:47It's so sparkly.
00:06:57You think she'll like it?
00:06:59Yes.
00:07:01Can I get one, too?
00:07:03Hmm.
00:07:04When you're older.
00:07:06Much older.
00:07:13Hello?
00:07:14In the kitchen.
00:07:16Grammy!
00:07:16Ashley, come here.
00:07:18Hi, Mom.
00:07:20Hi, Linda.
00:07:21You're here.
00:07:22And I need all the help I can get to get these chocolates and goodies done.
00:07:29Who are all these for?
00:07:30My neighbors, friends.
00:07:31I've been doing it for so long.
00:07:34I can't stop.
00:07:34Otherwise, I think something would happen to me.
00:07:37Can I have one?
00:07:38Of course.
00:07:39Kim, I want to run something by you.
00:07:41I am going on a cruise with my walking group of friends.
00:07:44How fun.
00:07:45Over Christmas.
00:07:46Oh, well, that will be so special.
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:49So I wanted to have a really good Christmas dinner early with you and your folks.
00:07:54So I'm thinking ham and rolls and pie and all the works.
00:07:59Of course, Ashley and Theo will be there.
00:08:02And when is this?
00:08:02I'm thinking the 20th, because I leave on the 21st.
00:08:06Theo, you can take me to the airport, can't you?
00:08:08Yeah.
00:08:09Or Hunter.
00:08:10That boy is not getting enough sleep.
00:08:13I don't think he'll stay awake on the road.
00:08:16So does that work for you?
00:08:18I think so.
00:08:19My family has a lot of plans.
00:08:20But as of right now, that day is open.
00:08:24So I will let my parents know.
00:08:25Excellent.
00:08:26All right.
00:08:27All three of you scrub in.
00:08:28And let's get started.
00:08:29Okay.
00:08:32There.
00:08:33You cover the top.
00:08:34And let the chocolate slide down and coat it nicely.
00:08:40Okay.
00:08:44Hey, are you free Monday night?
00:08:46Yeah.
00:08:48I thought dinner might be nice.
00:08:50I've been craving that restaurant you like by the theater.
00:08:53Oh, I love that place.
00:08:54Good.
00:08:56So seven?
00:08:57Seven.
00:09:04How's that?
00:09:05Oh, it's perfect.
00:09:13Our paleontology program has the potential to unveil new discovery and applications for our world.
00:09:20With a new dig opportunity, we can enhance academic research while maintaining exhibits here at our university's museum.
00:09:28Yes.
00:09:28Our students outrank every university within a four-state radius.
00:09:32And the inclusion of these new proofs.
00:09:35Oh, no.
00:09:37Okay.
00:09:50Thanks.
00:09:51Bye.
00:09:52Dr. Fenwick, Dr. Smith called down at that grant meeting.
00:09:54I know, I know.
00:09:56Here's your help.
00:09:57Thank you, Parker.
00:10:01You ready?
00:10:02We'll see.
00:10:04Oh, can you hurry and make 10 copies of these?
00:10:06Uh, sure.
00:10:07And bring them to the conference room?
00:10:09You're welcome.
00:10:10Okay.
00:10:12You got this, Kim.
00:10:21That's great.
00:10:23Good work.
00:10:24Melody, I'm going to head out around three today.
00:10:33That's a little early, isn't it?
00:10:35Yeah, I've got plans.
00:10:37Uh, okay.
00:10:38You don't have any appointments or sales meetings unless there's a walk-in.
00:10:43Great.
00:10:45The Oha Carpentry, how can I help you?
00:10:47Huh?
00:10:53Huh?
00:10:55A tie?
00:10:56Dead giveaway.
00:10:58You think?
00:11:00You never wear a tie during the week.
00:11:03True.
00:11:04It's a nice restaurant, though.
00:11:06Have you ever worn a tie there?
00:11:09Okay.
00:11:10What about a blazer?
00:11:12Hang on.
00:11:12Here, this one.
00:11:23Good choice.
00:11:25Right?
00:11:26It's in my coat pocket.
00:11:27That'll be great, Dad.
00:11:29Thanks, honey.
00:11:35Here you go.
00:11:36This is perfect, thank you.
00:11:40Get that for you.
00:11:41Oh, thank you.
00:11:42You all right there?
00:11:54Yeah, yes.
00:11:55Sorry.
00:11:57So, how was your day?
00:11:59Well, uh, actually...
00:12:01Your menus?
00:12:05You were saying?
00:12:08I got it.
00:12:09What?
00:12:11The grant.
00:12:12Today was the presentation for the board that makes the final decision.
00:12:15Really?
00:12:16Yes.
00:12:16I got the full grant.
00:12:18It is the largest the department has ever received.
00:12:21The dean is so excited.
00:12:22Wow, Kim.
00:12:23That is great news.
00:12:24I can expand the paleontology department, including those senior-level courses I wanted on paleobotany
00:12:30and the extinction theory and a new dick site.
00:12:33Wow.
00:12:34Where will that be?
00:12:35Well, I haven't decided that yet, but we can afford it now.
00:12:39I'll be able to select interns from the program, and this will be so good for them.
00:12:43I just want to set up the experience I wish I'd gotten in college.
00:12:46Well, they're lucky to have you.
00:12:49You're amazing.
00:12:51Oh, there's just so much to do.
00:12:52I want to set things up quickly for summer term, but the course curriculums need to be
00:12:56approved in February.
00:12:58Wow, that sounds like a lot.
00:12:59Is that all on you?
00:13:01Yeah, but I'll ask for help when I need it.
00:13:03This is my project.
00:13:05Oh, and guess what else?
00:13:06What?
00:13:07The dean said she thinks I can be made associate dean with this.
00:13:11You're kidding.
00:13:11No, I think she's grooming me to take her spot when she retires.
00:13:16Well, you deserve it.
00:13:19Yeah, thank you.
00:13:21Well, let's celebrate, right?
00:13:25Absolutely.
00:13:34What do you mean it wasn't the right time?
00:13:37She was so excited about her news, and it's a big accomplishment.
00:13:41I didn't want to distract from that.
00:13:44Or you could have made it more special by proposing.
00:13:47Well, too late now.
00:13:49I'll just have to find another way.
00:13:52Guess that's a good thing anyway.
00:13:54What do you mean?
00:13:55A restaurant that's so boring.
00:13:59Thanks.
00:14:00You didn't seem to mind before.
00:14:02If I can say anything nice.
00:14:04Oh, there it is.
00:14:10Do you want the stocking hung up?
00:14:12Uh, yeah.
00:14:13Maybe right here.
00:14:14Thank you so much for helping me.
00:14:16Oh, of course.
00:14:17I'm actually surprised you haven't decorated already.
00:14:19I was so focused on my presentation for the grant, I just didn't have time.
00:14:23Well, now you can slow down and enjoy the holidays.
00:14:26I wish.
00:14:26But the more I think about it, the more I have to do to get everything going at work.
00:14:30I wish I could cut back on some of our normal holiday plans, but...
00:14:34Yeah, like your mom would allow for that.
00:14:37Oh.
00:14:38Your dinosaur ornaments.
00:14:40Oh, and then Theo's mom wants to have an early Christmas dinner.
00:14:45Wow, she's really adopting you into their family.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:50She's been great.
00:14:52That's a big step.
00:14:53She likes you, you know, so that's a good thing.
00:14:55Just in case you see this relationship with Theo going somewhere.
00:15:01Oh, you've thought about this.
00:15:04Yeah.
00:15:05I just don't want to rush things with him or Ashley either.
00:15:08You should drop hints.
00:15:11No, that is the exact opposite of not rushing him.
00:15:14Oh, come on.
00:15:14Promise me you won't say anything to him or anyone else, especially not Glenn.
00:15:19He still likes to tease.
00:15:21Fine.
00:15:35Oh, she's so cute.
00:15:37Yes, she is.
00:15:39Until it's 3 a.m. and she's hungry again.
00:15:42Ah, the early days of parenting.
00:15:44Can't babies come sleep trained?
00:15:46Where's the fun in that?
00:15:47Hey, it is your night tonight.
00:15:49I know.
00:15:50For what?
00:15:51Oh, we switch nights of who takes care of Tori.
00:15:54Does that work?
00:15:56Not really.
00:15:57We tried feeding shifts, but then we were both just exhausted.
00:16:00So at least this way, one of us gets a full night's sleep.
00:16:03While the other one is a zombie the next day.
00:16:05Hey, at least you sleep through the crying.
00:16:07That's true.
00:16:08I am a heavy sleeper.
00:16:09Well, just think how happy you'll be the first time she sleeps through the night.
00:16:13No, all the firsts matter, right?
00:16:16What are you going to give her for Christmas?
00:16:18Oh, yeah.
00:16:18Baby's first Christmas.
00:16:20Clothes and diapers.
00:16:21We'll get her more than that.
00:16:23Why?
00:16:24She won't know the difference.
00:16:25Oh, hey, what happened Monday?
00:16:29Nothing.
00:16:30Not nothing.
00:16:31He chickened out.
00:16:32You did?
00:16:33Kim had this great new development at work, and I didn't want to, like, upstage that or compete with it.
00:16:39Oh, that's so considerate of you.
00:16:42So really, you were concerned that she would be more excited about work stuff than getting engaged to you.
00:16:47No, I'll just need to try again.
00:16:51I actually have a really good idea for this weekend.
00:16:54Good luck.
00:16:56Ew.
00:16:58More spit up.
00:17:00More laundry.
00:17:01Come here, Tori.
00:17:04Oh, thank you.
00:17:06Wow.
00:17:08This is amazing, Ashley.
00:17:10Dead hunt.
00:17:11I just held up the walls while they tried.
00:17:13Was this your idea?
00:17:14Yeah.
00:17:15Yeah.
00:17:16I hope I get first place this year.
00:17:18Well, she did sketch it out and everything herself.
00:17:21I think this is first place worthy for sure.
00:17:23Oh, can we do the 12 days of Christmas thing this year?
00:17:27You want to?
00:17:29Usually we just fizzle out on day seven, or we get caught.
00:17:33But I have the perfect family picked out.
00:17:35Who's that?
00:17:37Hunter, Clarice, and Tori.
00:17:39Aw.
00:17:40What made you think of that?
00:17:41They seemed tired, and it would make Tori's first Christmas more special.
00:17:46Oh, that's so thoughtful, Ashley.
00:17:48I'll go start writing ideas for them.
00:17:51So why did you start making the 12 days of Christmas one of your traditions?
00:17:54Well, a few years ago, Grammy told me about it, and she used to do it, too.
00:18:00Right, Dad?
00:18:02Yeah.
00:18:02So when Hunter and I left the house, my mom wanted to do something to keep the Christmas
00:18:07spirit alive.
00:18:08So she'd find a neighbor or a friend who needed just a little extra lift, and then she'd leave
00:18:15small gifts for them.
00:18:16Secretly.
00:18:19Sometimes.
00:18:20Although that is Ashley's favorite part.
00:18:23So, what's going on with Hunter and Clarissa?
00:18:27Oh, just new parent stuff.
00:18:29They're okay.
00:18:31We can make cinnamon rolls for Uncle Hunter.
00:18:33Those are his favorites.
00:18:34Okay, your papers have been graded.
00:18:42Check online for that and my notes, and don't forget your test next week.
00:18:46It's been on the syllabus all semester, so I know you're prepared, right?
00:18:51Okay.
00:18:51Okay.
00:18:52Have a good weekend.
00:18:54Yes.
00:18:59Hello.
00:19:00Hey.
00:19:01How's your day going?
00:19:02Uh, good.
00:19:04Classes are moving along.
00:19:05I want to squeeze in some extra time to work on grant implementation, but we'll see how
00:19:09many students need extra help.
00:19:11Busy, busy, Dr. Fennec.
00:19:13What about you?
00:19:14Uh, I was actually wondering if we could go out tomorrow.
00:19:18Maybe early afternoon?
00:19:20Sure.
00:19:21That sounds great.
00:19:23Okay.
00:19:24Where are we going?
00:19:26I'm actually still figuring everything out.
00:19:30Okay.
00:19:31See you.
00:19:32Okay.
00:19:33Bye.
00:19:42Hi.
00:19:42How are you?
00:19:43This is a nice surprise.
00:19:44Oh, well, I needed to get out of the house for a bit, but of course that is right when
00:19:48Tori chooses to take a nap.
00:19:50Oh.
00:19:52Well, when she wakes up, you should take her to see the robotic dinosaurs.
00:19:55You have those here?
00:19:56They move their heads a bit and make some noise.
00:19:58She might get a kick out of it.
00:19:59Well, we'll do that.
00:20:00So how's your week going?
00:20:03Oh, you know, fine, I guess.
00:20:06Just trying to keep up with life while still sometimes feeling like I am not doing much
00:20:10at all.
00:20:10You are juggling a lot, and you're doing great at it.
00:20:14Thanks.
00:20:15Imagine it's hard to get everything ready for Christmas right now?
00:20:18Yeah.
00:20:18Thank goodness for online ordering.
00:20:20You should get out, though.
00:20:23You and Hunter, I can take Tori for a night.
00:20:27Oh, no.
00:20:28We're okay.
00:20:29No, I'm serious.
00:20:30I used to watch my niece overnight every now and then when she was a baby.
00:20:33I like to think that is why my brother is still sane.
00:20:36Don't tempt me with sleep.
00:20:40I can even come tonight.
00:20:42Are you sure?
00:20:44Absolutely.
00:20:45I'll swing by after work.
00:20:46Come in.
00:21:13Come in.
00:21:15Kim?
00:21:20Mm-hmm.
00:21:23Hey, you doing okay?
00:21:26Yeah, just tired.
00:21:31We're going out.
00:21:32I should have thought about that.
00:21:34Bella, are you feeling sick?
00:21:35No, I was just up all night.
00:21:38Oh, really?
00:21:39Yeah, Hunter and Clarissa's watching Tori.
00:21:43Oh, Kim.
00:21:44You didn't have to do that.
00:21:47I wanted to.
00:21:49Yeah, okay.
00:21:50Well, lie back down.
00:21:51No, I'm...
00:21:52Just for a few minutes.
00:21:53Okay.
00:21:53Okay.
00:21:54Oh, thank you.
00:21:57I guess you'll get another chance to propose
00:22:25So far I can't even get close to asking
00:22:27Are you nervous?
00:22:30You know that feeling you get when you're waiting for Christmas to come?
00:22:34That's how I feel
00:22:35Whoa
00:22:37So what are we getting Hunter and Clarissa for this 12 days of Christmas thing?
00:22:42I want to get Tori a toy
00:22:44Because she should get something too
00:22:46Okay, I'm alright with that
00:22:48Toy store then?
00:22:49Yeah
00:22:50This way
00:22:51So what do you want for Christmas?
00:22:54Hmm
00:22:55I don't know
00:22:56I haven't really thought about it
00:22:57You have to
00:22:58Okay
00:22:59Oh
00:23:02You know those pens your teacher has at parent-teacher conference?
00:23:07Pens
00:23:08Yeah
00:23:08Alright, fine
00:23:12What about a book?
00:23:14You have a stack in your room
00:23:16That you never even pick up
00:23:18Well, what do you suggest?
00:23:20Something you want
00:23:21And something meaningful
00:23:23Hmm
00:23:25Okay, I don't know
00:23:26I'll have to think about it
00:23:28So we've seen a shift in the market
00:23:34And we want to seize on it while we can
00:23:36So we're going to need the whole development fast-tracked
00:23:39Got it
00:23:40Now the construction timeline is tight as it is
00:23:43So can you make it work for all the cabinets?
00:23:45As long as we can stagger deliveries and installation
00:23:48Yeah
00:23:49Well then I'll send you a schedule
00:23:51And I'll have my form and keep you updated on any delays
00:23:54Sounds good
00:23:55Have a Merry Christmas
00:23:56You too
00:23:56So?
00:24:02We got the job
00:24:05250 homes
00:24:08Wow
00:24:08Yeah
00:24:09We're going to need to make sure our supply is solid
00:24:12I'll schedule a call for you
00:24:13Thanks
00:24:14Uh, when's the first installation?
00:24:17Uh, the model home will be done in January
00:24:19After that it's home after home after home
00:24:22I hope you got some rest over Thanksgiving
00:24:24Yeah
00:24:26250 homes
00:24:31I know
00:24:33That's great though
00:24:34Man, I've looked at the schedules for everyone at the shop
00:24:37I'm trying not to schedule anyone during Christmas
00:24:39Just to make this work in time
00:24:41You know, I'd offer to help, but
00:24:43Thanks, but I've seen you with a hammer
00:24:46I'll just work weekends
00:24:49Careful
00:24:50I got it, I got it
00:24:52Oh, come all ye faithful
00:24:56Joyful and triumphant
00:25:00Oh, come ye, oh, come
00:25:03Okay
00:25:03Where do you want to put it?
00:25:05Um
00:25:05Here
00:25:09Let's just move this
00:25:12Hello
00:25:13Are you entering the gingerbread contest?
00:25:15Hi, yeah
00:25:16We're
00:25:17Oh, Dad
00:25:20Sorry
00:25:20No, no, no
00:25:22Okay, maybe if you just move this
00:25:23It's just loose
00:25:24It's ruined
00:25:25No, we can fix this
00:25:27But today was the deadline
00:25:29You still have time
00:25:31I can accept it if you bring it tomorrow morning
00:25:33Okay
00:25:35How can I help?
00:25:44Um, you can hold it so it doesn't move
00:25:46Absolutely
00:25:47Are you sure that icing's gonna be strong enough?
00:25:51I don't know
00:25:52Maybe I should get some glue
00:25:53How's that looking?
00:25:56It still needs more icing
00:25:57Okay
00:25:58Nope, no glue
00:26:02I think we just need to hold it in place a little longer
00:26:05It dried a long time before
00:26:07I know, sweetheart
00:26:08We'll fix it, though
00:26:09We have to bring it in tomorrow morning
00:26:12What if it's not enough time?
00:26:13No reading tonight
00:26:21We gotta leave early tomorrow to drop off your gingerbread house on our way to school, okay?
00:26:25Okay, night, Dad
00:26:27Thanks for your help
00:26:34She's worried
00:26:36Yeah
00:26:37How are you holding up?
00:26:41I have papers to grade still
00:26:43And I'm behind on where I want to be with the grant plans
00:26:45I'm sorry
00:26:46You didn't have to be here tonight
00:26:50No
00:26:51I wanted to be here
00:26:53Thanks
00:26:55I'm ready for Christmas
00:27:01Yeah?
00:27:03Just a break, you know
00:27:05Can I help at all?
00:27:09Me?
00:27:10You have your own mountain of work
00:27:12That doesn't mean I can't help
00:27:14Thank you
00:27:16I'll let you know
00:27:17Can I get you a drink?
00:27:24No, I better go
00:27:25You sure?
00:27:28Yeah
00:27:29I have my 8am class in the morning
00:27:31Oh, that's right
00:27:33What was I thinking?
00:27:35Scheduling it so early all semester
00:27:37Well, only a couple more weeks
00:27:38Thank goodness
00:27:39Good night
00:27:45Good night
00:27:46Beo
00:28:02Hey
00:28:03Do you have a minute to talk?
00:28:05Yeah, yeah, sure
00:28:06Come in
00:28:07Thanks
00:28:07Oh, before I forget
00:28:15Here are tickets to the Christmas Carol
00:28:16For you and Ashley
00:28:17Oh, thanks
00:28:19We've really been looking forward to this
00:28:21So
00:28:23What's up?
00:28:24Okay
00:28:25Before I say anything
00:28:26I need you to promise me
00:28:27You can keep this to yourself
00:28:29Uh-oh
00:28:32No, it's good
00:28:33Just
00:28:33Please
00:28:34Okay
00:28:36Okay
00:28:37I promise
00:28:38I want to propose to Kim
00:28:40Really?
00:28:43Oh, damn
00:28:43Yes
00:28:44Oh, I'm so excited for you both
00:28:46Thank you
00:28:47Okay
00:28:48Did you get a ring?
00:28:49Yeah
00:28:50And I tried
00:28:51Sort of
00:28:52To propose
00:28:53But
00:28:53What?
00:28:54Wait, when?
00:28:55Kim didn't say anything
00:28:56Well, it didn't really pan out
00:28:58You know, she got this new grant
00:29:00Oh
00:29:01She just has a lot of things going on right now
00:29:04There hasn't quite been the time
00:29:05But
00:29:06What I was wondering is
00:29:07Do you think
00:29:08I should wait?
00:29:10Until when?
00:29:12Well, just until things settle down
00:29:14No
00:29:15Are you just saying that
00:29:17Because I made you promise
00:29:18Not to say anything?
00:29:20No
00:29:20Although that is also
00:29:21A very good reason
00:29:22But I mean, come on
00:29:23It's Christmas
00:29:23Could there be a more perfect time?
00:29:26Yeah
00:29:26But it just seems like
00:29:27There's so many plans
00:29:28Stacking up
00:29:29Between my family
00:29:30And her family
00:29:31And yours
00:29:32So?
00:29:33So I don't want to propose
00:29:34In front of everyone she knows
00:29:36Do you think she would say no?
00:29:38No
00:29:38But I
00:29:39Don't want her to feel
00:29:41Any pressure by anyone
00:29:42If she has any doubt
00:29:44No
00:29:45I think that she
00:29:46What?
00:29:49Well
00:29:49Look
00:29:50You guys have been dating
00:29:51For a year now
00:29:52So I would say
00:29:53That your chances
00:29:54Are pretty good
00:29:55Well, thanks
00:29:57Do you have the ring on you right now?
00:30:01No
00:30:02I left it at home
00:30:03Well, maybe you start
00:30:05Carrying it around with you
00:30:06Or keep it close by
00:30:07Just in case the moment arises
00:30:08If I brought that thing to work
00:30:10It'd probably get churned up
00:30:11In a circular saw
00:30:12Okay, fine
00:30:13Maybe not work then
00:30:14But I'm just saying
00:30:16Go for it
00:30:18Okay
00:30:21Thanks
00:30:23Yeah, it's off
00:30:31It's too short
00:30:31Yeah, and we have
00:30:32Eight more just like it
00:30:33They're all wrong
00:30:35Sorry, I should have caught it
00:30:37No
00:30:38Me too
00:30:39Okay, let's start over
00:30:42Okay
00:30:43So
00:30:47When's that install?
00:30:49Next week
00:30:49Want me to push it?
00:30:51Nah, the Wallaces have waited long enough with their remodel
00:30:54I'll get it done
00:30:55Okay
00:30:56Hey Hunter, quick favor
00:31:10Can you pick up Ashi from school?
00:31:14Ah, I just
00:31:14I've got a problem here at the shop
00:31:16I need to work out
00:31:17Oh
00:31:19How about Clarissa
00:31:20She
00:31:21Okay
00:31:23No, no
00:31:24It's fine
00:31:25Thanks
00:31:26Thanks for picking me up
00:31:33You bet
00:31:33Your dad seemed like he had a lot going on today
00:31:36Does that mean we can go to the museum until he gets back?
00:31:39We're going this weekend with Mia, remember?
00:31:42All right
00:31:42So, how was school?
00:31:45I made something
00:31:46Oh, I love it
00:31:50Did you make that in art class?
00:31:52Yeah
00:31:52Do you think dad will like it as his Christmas present?
00:31:55I asked him what he wanted, but he wasn't much help
00:31:58I do think your dad will like it
00:32:00Especially if you put a photo in it
00:32:02That's a good idea
00:32:03Maybe you can look at albums you have at home
00:32:05Or sneak one from your dad's phone
00:32:06I might even have something
00:32:08How do I get the photo made?
00:32:10I can help you with that
00:32:11Thanks
00:32:12Hey, so when do you hear about the gingerbread house competition?
00:32:16December 18th, I think
00:32:20That's when they contact the winners
00:32:21Well, it's coming up
00:32:23I know
00:32:23Last year I got a gift card
00:32:25But I think first place gets an even bigger one
00:32:28What will you do with your winnings?
00:32:29If I win, I don't know
00:32:31Maybe
00:32:31Well, last year I spent on like four different toys
00:32:34But I think I'll spend mine on a necklace or a ring
00:32:38What made you think of that?
00:32:42Nothing
00:32:43They're just so pretty
00:32:45Okay
00:32:48Mia, what do you want to see first?
00:33:02Can I show Mia the T-Rex?
00:33:04You made it
00:33:05Hey
00:33:05Hi
00:33:06Are you working?
00:33:08Kim, it's a Saturday

00:33:17So

00:33:27Good
00:33:28So you're going to propose today?
00:33:31Here?

00:33:34Hardly
00:33:36You, Mia, Ashley
00:33:38Oh, okay, right, right
00:33:40Oh
00:33:40I will run interference
00:33:42I'll go and like get a cotton candy or something
00:33:44Oh, Mia would love that
00:33:45This isn't a carnival
00:33:47Okay, a soda then
00:33:49Thank you, but
00:33:51I'll know when the moment's right
00:33:53So can I see the ring?
00:33:57What about Kim?
00:33:57She's
00:33:58Come on, no, quickly, quickly
00:33:59So this guy right here is my very favorite
00:34:02Can you guess how many teeth he has?
00:34:05Okay
00:34:06Right
00:34:07Five
00:34:07Oh, Theo, it's beautiful
00:34:11She'll like it, won't she?
00:34:13Oh, it's perfect for her
00:34:15Okay, see if you can count them
00:34:17One, two, three
00:34:18Hey, you guys coming?

00:34:21Mm-hmm
00:34:22Fifty-nine
00:34:23Yep
00:34:24T-Rex has between 50 to 60 teeth
00:34:26That is a lot of teeth
00:34:28Cool
00:34:29Thank you so much for taking
00:34:33Of course
00:34:34Hey, so what was that all about?
00:34:38Oh, nothing
00:34:39Uh, Vicky was just telling me about
00:34:41Her favorite dinosaur
00:34:43Oh
00:34:44She doesn't have a favorite dinosaur
00:34:47Exactly
00:34:49Yeah, I was asking her
00:34:52Which one is your favorite
00:34:53And she was like
00:34:54I don't have one
00:34:56That should be enough
00:35:06Tape?
00:35:08Yep
00:35:08Got it
00:35:09I might need your help
00:35:12Sure
00:35:12Okay, do you want to deliver this this afternoon
00:35:16Or wait until it's dark?
00:35:18Dark
00:35:18It will help us hide
00:35:19Okay, we still need to be fast
00:35:21So Hunter doesn't catch us
00:35:22Okay
00:35:23Ready?
00:35:29I'm ready
00:35:30On three
00:35:31One
00:35:32Two
00:35:34Three
00:35:36Wait
00:35:41Knock first
00:35:42Oh, yeah
00:35:43Hurry, hurry, hurry
00:35:48Come on
00:35:49Happy first day of Christmas
00:36:03Hunter?
00:36:07Hunter?
00:36:10Oh
00:36:11Yes
00:36:15Is the dough almost ready?
00:36:22When it beeps
00:36:23Should be a few more minutes
00:36:24I think Mia will be here soon
00:36:26I'll get it
00:36:29Hi, Ashley
00:36:30Hi, Mia
00:36:31That was almost ready
00:36:32I've never made cinnamon rolls before
00:36:35Never?
00:36:36Well, ours are the best
00:36:37It's a Christmas recipe for my dad's grandma
00:36:40Hey, Ashley
00:36:41Let her take her coat off first
00:36:43Hi, Mia
00:36:44You can put your coat right here
00:36:45Okay
00:36:45Here
00:36:53Thanks
00:36:54Oh, hey
00:36:56I need to take this
00:36:58Come get me if you need any help, though
00:37:00Okay
00:37:00Hey, Mike
00:37:02What's up?
00:37:03Want to see something cool?
00:37:05Sure
00:37:05Isn't it pretty?
00:37:13It's sparkly
00:37:14Yeah
00:37:15Oh, dough's ready
00:37:17We just have to knead and roll it out
00:37:30Okay
00:37:30What next?
00:37:37A squishy part
00:37:39It feels weird
00:37:46But it tastes good after we put all the sugar and cinnamon in it
00:37:50Oh
00:37:51This is for my aunt and uncle
00:37:53But I think we'll have some life for us
00:37:55Yum
00:37:55What's that for?
00:37:57I'll show you in a minute
00:37:58Clarissa, are you hungry?
00:38:11Ooh, who brought those?
00:38:13Our secret admirers
00:38:14Any guesses who?
00:38:16Theo
00:38:16Not our neighbors?
00:38:19It's Theo
00:38:19And Ashley
00:38:20They know I love these
00:38:21Well, that was so sweet of them
00:38:23Yeah, these are the best
00:38:24Should we tell them?
00:38:26And spoil their fun?
00:38:27No way
00:38:27Besides, I want to see what they keep bringing
00:38:29All right, we'll save the rest of them
00:38:31Why?
00:38:32Because you like them so much
00:38:34Make a must
00:38:34Okay
00:38:36Hey, you can't stay up too late
00:38:42I know, I know
00:38:43School night
00:38:43Yeah, I tried telling you
00:38:45We should wait till the weekend
00:38:46He'll be fine
00:38:48Well, you just don't sleep as well out here
00:38:51Sure I do
00:38:52You're the one who's always grumbling in the morning
00:38:54Yeah, yeah
00:38:55Oh, I had an idea for how you can propose
00:38:59Okay
00:39:00You get a team of reindeer
00:39:02No, reindeer unicorns
00:39:04Hook them to a sled
00:39:05And drive up to Kim's house
00:39:07Drive Kim to a Christmas castle
00:39:10And that's where you propose
00:39:12Wow, that is a very creative idea
00:39:17However, I don't know where I could find, you know, any reindeer unicorn anytime soon
00:39:24Are they still considered unicorns if they have antlers?
00:39:29I don't know, but you should definitely make the proposal Christmasy
00:39:32Okay, but I am fresh out of access to any Christmas castles
00:39:36Well, you could make a snowman and dress him up in a suit like you
00:39:40And then build a snowgirl and dress her up in a dress like Kim
00:39:45Put a ring on the snowgirl's finger
00:39:47And we can use twigs for the hands
00:39:49Well, that is a little bit more reasonable
00:39:52You don't like it
00:39:54I just wonder if I should take her somewhere special
00:39:57A restaurant
00:39:59No, like a Christmas lights place or a
00:40:05Oh, my teacher told me about this place you like write letters to Santa and see his workshop
00:40:10Interesting
00:40:12What if we got Santa to help you propose?
00:40:19Hey, Ashley, we gotta hurry
00:40:20I've been ready
00:40:22Oh, good
00:40:24Kim's gonna be waiting
00:40:26I know
00:40:27Alright, let's go
00:40:31Can we start with the letters?
00:40:40Good idea
00:40:40Kim, you'll help me, right?
00:40:42Sure
00:40:42But I get to write my own, too
00:40:44Theo, are you coming?
00:40:45Yeah
00:40:46So, do we just write what we want?
00:40:53Yeah
00:40:53How do you spell vacation?
00:40:56That's what you're putting on your letter?
00:40:57It can't hurt
00:40:58Uh, my pen isn't working
00:41:02Um, I'll be right back
00:41:05Uh, here's another
00:41:06Hey, I'll sit
00:41:10Yeah
00:41:10Did you get the poster I dropped off?
00:41:13Ready to go
00:41:14Good
00:41:15Thank you
00:41:16Good luck
00:41:18So, did you find a working pen?
00:41:28Yeah
00:41:28Yeah
00:41:28And
00:41:30Oh, I mean, no
00:41:32Can I borrow that one?
00:41:35You ready?
00:41:36I'm ready
00:41:37Okay, who's next?
00:41:40We are
00:41:40Yep, ready
00:41:41Come this way to go
00:41:43Come this way then
00:41:45Here, Santa
00:41:46Wonderful
00:41:48I can't wait to read it
00:41:49How about you, young lady?
00:41:50Here's my letter
00:41:51And have you been good this year?
00:41:53Yes
00:41:54Yes
00:41:54I like to think so
00:41:55Well, good
00:41:56And what might you want for Christmas?
00:41:59Oh, uh, well
00:42:00I don't know
00:42:01Except for what I wrote in my letter
00:42:02Good, good
00:42:04I think I might know what you could use
00:42:06And what would that be?
00:42:09Well, that, um
00:42:10Um
00:42:13I suppose maybe, uh
00:42:15A new blender
00:42:16Okay
00:42:19Let me take these letters for later
00:42:21And I'll see what else I can bring you
00:42:22How about a photo?
00:42:30Well, that was fun
00:42:32Santa was
00:42:33Unique
00:42:34Right?
00:42:37Oh, yeah
00:42:37Strange, right?
00:42:39Okay, good
00:42:39You thought so, too?
00:42:40I liked him
00:42:41Hey
00:42:43You all right?
00:42:45Me?
00:42:47Uh
00:42:47I'm fine
00:42:48Fine
00:42:50It was just weird
00:42:57Something is off
00:42:59I just wish he would talk to me
00:43:01He just seems so bothered
00:43:03On top of acting pretty distracted lately
00:43:05Mm-hmm
00:43:06Am I crowding him?
00:43:10No
00:43:11I'm sure that's not what it is
00:43:13Maybe
00:43:14Work
00:43:15Could it be work?
00:43:16Well, yeah
00:43:17But he's usually pretty good about
00:43:19Keeping that away from home life
00:43:20You know
00:43:21I'm willing to bet
00:43:22That it is not as bad as you think
00:43:25I haven't really tried to get him to open up
00:43:29Maybe I should try harder
00:43:30Except
00:43:31He's never been closed off before
00:43:34It's one of the things I love about him
00:43:36It's easy to talk
00:43:37It's easy to talk and
00:43:38Know what each other is thinking and feeling
00:43:40Until now
00:43:42Ugh
00:43:43I'm just
00:43:44It's driving me nuts
00:43:46Yeah, you and me
00:43:48Go
00:43:48Is she down here yet?
00:43:51Not yet
00:43:52Mia, it's time to go
00:43:54Mom
00:43:55I need my lunch
00:43:56Mm-hmm
00:43:57Oh, thanks
00:43:59Have a good day, sweetie
00:44:00You ready?
00:44:01Yeah
00:44:01Love you
00:44:02See you, Kim
00:44:03Have a good day
00:44:03Later
00:44:04Bye, Kim
00:44:05So what do you think?
00:44:09I think it's nothing to worry about
00:44:10And that everything will be okay soon enough
00:44:13Maybe it's just all in my head anyway
00:44:17Could I have fallen out of the box?
00:44:25Oh, I've checked my closet and my code four times already
00:44:29Ashley
00:44:31You're sure you didn't play with it?
00:44:33Maybe you put it on?
00:44:35Dad, I know better
00:44:36Oh, I did look at it a while ago
00:44:42But I put it right back in the cabinet
00:44:43Oh, it's Vicky
00:44:49Everything okay
00:44:51Kim can tell something's up
00:44:52Long story
00:44:55Trying to fix it
00:44:58Oh, when was the last time you saw it?
00:45:03You always tell me to think of that when I look something
00:45:05I don't know
00:45:08I know I've had the box with me for a while now
00:45:10But I don't remember the last time I actually looked at the ring itself
00:45:14Oh, I did show it to Vicky
00:45:17Where?
00:45:20The Dinosaur Museum
00:45:21Okay, there you go
00:45:24Hello, can I help you?
00:45:28Yes, do you happen to have a lost and found?
00:45:31Yes, what are you looking for?
00:45:32It's a ring
00:45:33For a woman
00:45:34Yes
00:45:35Okay
00:45:35Let's see
00:45:37Here's one
00:45:40No, it's actually a...
00:45:43Mr. Hall
00:45:44Hi, Parker
00:45:45Are you looking for Dr. Finnick?
00:45:47She's in class right now, but I'm sure she'll be...
00:45:49No, Ashley wanted to see the T-Rex skeleton again
00:45:53I... I did
00:45:55Okay
00:45:56Well, want me to let her know that you're here?
00:45:58No
00:45:58Just because we want to make it a surprise
00:46:02Cool
00:46:03Well, enjoy your visit
00:46:06Thanks
00:46:06Uh, can I look in there?
00:46:09Sure
00:46:09Thanks
00:46:10Anything?
00:46:19Nope
00:46:20Well, maybe we should look where we went before
00:46:24Nope
00:46:33I showed Vicky the ring somewhere around here, so it can't be far
00:46:37What if it got vacuumed?
00:46:40I think they would have noticed
00:46:41I hope
00:46:43Okay
00:46:45Keep looking
00:46:46I think they would have noticed
00:47:16Leo?
00:47:18What are you doing here?
00:47:21Hi
00:47:21I dropped a quarter
00:47:23Did Ashley drop a quarter, too?
00:47:29Uh, we... we wanted to surprise you and say hi and...
00:47:34Ashley!
00:47:35Come here
00:47:35Oh, hi, Kim
00:47:37Hi
00:47:38Uh, did you find what you were looking for?
00:47:41Not yet
00:47:42But I'm going to keep looking
00:47:46Well, uh, this is a nice surprise
00:47:50It is
00:47:52Hey, uh, have you been okay?
00:47:56Yeah
00:47:57Why?
00:47:59Nothing
00:47:59I just wanted to make sure
00:48:02Uh, so do you have some time right now?
00:48:06Maybe we could walk over to that cafeteria
00:48:07Or that place around the corner
00:48:09I wish
00:48:10I've got a meeting with the department faculty
00:48:12About the curriculum
00:48:13Oh
00:48:13Yeah, getting their thoughts on what should be included
00:48:15And all that
00:48:16Well, I hope it goes well
00:48:18Thank you
00:48:20Well, uh, we'll see you later
00:48:24Yeah
00:48:25Hey, uh, we're still on for the play this weekend?
00:48:30Yeah
00:48:30Wouldn't miss it
00:48:32Good
00:48:32I love you
00:48:43I love you, too
00:48:45Okay
00:48:50I see
00:48:52Come on
00:48:52Oh, thanks, babe
00:49:03Yeah
00:49:03Hey, what's up with Kim?
00:49:07What do you mean?
00:49:08She came over before work
00:49:09Oh, oh, yeah, no
00:49:11She just had some work stuff that she wanted around by me
00:49:14Oh
00:49:14Okay
00:49:16Hey, can I
00:49:17Can I talk to you about something?
00:49:20Of course
00:49:20Okay
00:49:23There's someone who needs help
00:49:27Not with anything serious
00:49:29But it is important
00:49:30This person wants to be happy
00:49:34Okay
00:49:36And I want to help
00:49:37But I can't
00:49:38Why not?
00:49:40Oh, because I told them that I would
00:49:41Help
00:49:43Oh, this isn't coming out right
00:49:46Can you just tell me who we're talking about?
00:49:49Oh, no, I can't
00:49:50I promise
00:49:50Then
00:49:53What can you tell me?
00:49:55Oh, okay
00:49:55Okay
00:49:56I can tell you
00:49:57That there are two people
00:49:59Who want the same thing
00:50:02But I can't tell them
00:50:03That they want the same thing
00:50:04Because that
00:50:05Would be breaking my promise
00:50:07Is this about what Mia got me for Christmas
00:50:11But she wants it to be a secret?
00:50:15All right
00:50:15What are you doing?
00:50:28Uh, just looking for something I might have left here
00:50:31Hey, Theo?
00:50:32Yeah
00:50:32Can you come check out these designs I got from the housing development?
00:50:36It's not adding up
00:50:37Uh, sure
00:50:39Coming
00:50:40Want me to keep searching for whatever you're looking for?
00:50:46No
00:50:47It was a long shot that I'd be here
00:50:49Everything okay?
00:51:02The gingerbread competition
00:51:04What about it?
00:51:06They were supposed to judge all the entries by now
00:51:09Well, I don't think they'll announce the winner till...
00:51:12Tomorrow
00:51:12So we'll just have to wait till then, I guess
00:51:15Can we go see all the other gingerbread houses tonight?
00:51:20Scope out the competition?
00:51:23Kind of
00:51:24Okay
00:51:25We're going to finish up
00:51:27Come on, Dad
00:51:31I'm coming
00:51:32Oh, honey
00:51:36It didn't dry enough
00:51:39Yeah, maybe the roof was too weak
00:51:42Yeah
00:51:43Well, the ice rink still looks good
00:51:46Not good enough
00:51:48The judges will never vote for this
00:51:50I'm so sorry, sweetie
00:51:53You weren't really concerned with the other entries, were you?
00:52:02I was just worried about mine falling apart
00:52:04Well, there's always next year
00:52:06I know
00:52:07Oh, it's Kim
00:52:09Hey
00:52:11Hi
00:52:12How was your day?
00:52:14It's been better
00:52:15Ashley's having a pretty rough day
00:52:18I don't know, what's going on?
00:52:20Does she need anything?
00:52:21Yeah, but I'll let her tell you
00:52:23I've been trying to think what we could do to cheer her up
00:52:25How about a girl's night?
00:52:29She can sleep over here
00:52:30She would love that
00:52:32Do you want to set up your sleeping bag by the Christmas tree?
00:52:37Okay, thanks
00:52:39Thanks for doing this
00:52:40I know it's still last minute
00:52:42How is she?
00:52:43She's fine
00:52:44But this really does help
00:52:46Good
00:52:47Maybe pancakes in the morning will top it off
00:52:50I bet it will
00:52:51Good night
00:52:52Night
00:52:53Good night, Ashley
00:52:56Night, Dad
00:52:57Love you
00:52:58I love you
00:52:59Bye
00:53:01For what it's worth, I think what you built was so creative
00:53:09Thanks
00:53:10So, what made you start building gingerbread houses?
00:53:14Well, one of the teachers that I had brought in a snowy cabin that she made
00:53:19And I did think you could make gingerbread houses without a kid
00:53:22But my dad looked up a recipe and we started building
00:53:27I love that you do that together
00:53:30No matter if you win or lose, you get to keep those memories forever
00:53:35Yeah, and I guess me not winning this year means that someone else can have a chance
00:53:41That's very wise of you
00:53:43And positive
00:53:45I'm proud of you, Ashley
00:53:47Hey, this is left on your doorstep
00:53:56Uh-huh, thanks for bringing it in
00:53:57Cool
00:53:58What's up?
00:54:01Uh, Ashley is over at Kim's tonight
00:54:03And I needed to talk
00:54:06I just put her down for the third time
00:54:11I'll get her
00:54:12The ring disappeared?
00:54:16I can't figure out where it is
00:54:18Theo
00:54:19And I'm so sorry
00:54:20Yeah, and I'm just stuck in limbo
00:54:22And what, you've looked all over?
00:54:25Everywhere I can think of
00:54:26I mean, I even looked in a couch and found four dollars
00:54:29But no ring
00:54:30Would it be so bad to wait?
00:54:33Wait?
00:54:34Well, not forever
00:54:34I know, things are hard enough as it is
00:54:36But could you put the proposal on hold till you find it?
00:54:41I guess in theory, but this is just hanging over me
00:54:44I know, but what's the rush?
00:54:46The rush is that he is crazy about her
00:54:50I am
00:54:51I just, I love her too much to postpone
00:54:55I'll still love her in a few weeks
00:54:57Nothing's gonna change that
00:54:59Well, I don't think you should wait
00:55:01You're just gonna have to search harder for the ring
00:55:04Easier said than done
00:55:07The cinnamon roll?
00:55:08No, I'm kidding
00:55:10So, did you find the picture you wanted for your dad's present?
00:55:19I looked at some albums at home
00:55:21But they were all older photos
00:55:23Like before I was even born
00:55:24Do you wanna look at my phone?
00:55:26See what I have?
00:55:26Sure
00:55:27Hey, uh
00:55:30So how's your dad doing?
00:55:33He's fine
00:55:33He seems a little sad sometimes
00:55:36You know, like
00:55:36Something's wrong
00:55:38Oh, uh
00:55:40You know why?
00:55:43He lost something
00:55:45Oh, no
00:55:46What was it?
00:55:48His favorite
00:55:49Pair of socks
00:55:51Wow
00:55:52That's
00:55:54That's rough
00:55:55This one?
00:55:58Perfect
00:55:58We'll take it to get it printed on our way to your house, okay?
00:56:01Okay
00:56:01Who has her tickets?
00:56:11Oh, I do
00:56:11Can I sit next to Ashley?
00:56:13Yeah, of course
00:56:14Let's go
00:56:15Here, babe
00:56:18Shall we?
00:56:22Yeah
00:56:22Great, sir
00:56:26Oh, move away
00:56:28Today's paper was a scrooge
00:56:30Go
00:56:31Scrooge and Malas
00:56:33I believe you
00:56:33By the pleasure of Drisco
00:56:35Scrooge and Malas
00:56:36Beyond the chance
00:56:39Before you
00:56:40You can't go too much
00:56:42All right
00:56:42How are we going next, spirit?
00:56:47No
00:56:47Is it real?
00:56:49Or bad?
00:56:50Bad
00:56:51You're in light, really?
00:56:53No
00:56:53There is bad
00:56:54So, what did you think?
00:57:13I liked it
00:57:13But it was long
00:57:14Mm-hmm
00:57:15I have to use the bathroom
00:57:17Me too
00:57:18Oh, I can take them
00:57:19Oh, you don't have to do that
00:57:21That's fine
00:57:21Come on, girls
00:57:22Thank you
00:57:23Thanks, Kim
00:57:24Theo, we are so looking forward to Christmas dinner with your mom
00:57:30Oh, well, she is excited for it
00:57:32And Catherine's been agonizing over which pie recipe to use
00:57:35Uh, shush, you
00:57:36I just want it to be good
00:57:38I'm sure it will be delicious
00:57:39Come on
00:57:40Trouble
00:57:42It might be a good time to ask an important question
00:57:47What, tonight or at Christmas dinner?
00:57:49Either
00:57:50I wish I could
00:57:52What?
00:57:56I lost the ring
00:57:57You...
00:57:58How?
00:58:01If I knew that, I could probably find it again
00:58:03But Ashley and I, we've torn apart the house and everywhere else we could think of
00:58:07Oh, Theo
00:58:09I know
00:58:10Hi, come in
00:58:25Thank you
00:58:26Can I take your coats?
00:58:27Oh, yes, please
00:58:28Hi
00:58:28Hey there
00:58:30Hello
00:58:31Merry Christmas
00:58:32Oh, Merry Christmas
00:58:34Thank you for having me
00:58:35My pleasure
00:58:36Um, please, set things down
00:58:37This is for you
00:58:40Oh, I don't think she's gonna make it much longer
00:58:44Which means she'll wake up right at midnight
00:58:47We'll see, she might surprise us
00:58:50She's grown up so fast
00:58:51Oh, I have something special for her
00:58:53Ashley, would you go under my tree
00:58:56And there's this little box that has Tori's name on it
00:58:59Okay, got it
00:59:00Mom, it's not Christmas yet
00:59:02Too bad
00:59:03This is my Christmas celebration after all
00:59:06And I get to make the rules
00:59:07Oh, thank you, Ashley
00:59:11Do you want me to take her?
00:59:12Um, why don't you open it, actually?
00:59:14Okay
00:59:15Oh, thank you
00:59:20For her first Christmas
00:59:21That is so sweet
00:59:24Thank you, Mom
00:59:25We'll put it on the tree as soon as we get home
00:59:27Can I open one next?
00:59:29Ashley
00:59:29Of course you can, Ashley
00:59:31Go back under my tree
00:59:32And then bring back something here that has your name on it
00:59:35Okay, got it
00:59:36So, are you all packed for your trip?
00:59:41I am
00:59:41I know we don't travel over Christmas
00:59:43But this year, the stars all seem to align for it
00:59:47That'll be so fun
00:59:48A cruise, right?
00:59:50Yes, and we're going to a place that is warmer than here
00:59:53Theo, you're going to take me to the airport?
00:59:56Right, uh, Mom, I am so busy at work
01:00:00Um, Hunter, are you free?
01:00:03Uh, not really, but, um
01:00:06I can take her
01:00:07You're even busier than I am at work
01:00:09It'll be good for me to take a break, then
01:00:11She's a saint, this one
01:00:14I'm telling you, Theo
01:00:15Don't let this one go ever
01:00:17Thanks, Mom
01:00:19You've raised a really wonderful girl
01:00:22You've got a fine son, too
01:00:24They make a great pair
01:00:26Now, if Theo would just do something about it
01:00:30I mean, after all
01:00:32I need another fantastic daughter-in-law
01:00:35Desert anyone?
01:00:44Does Mom know?
01:00:46No
01:00:46Would you have told her?
01:00:48Not if I wanted it to be a surprise
01:00:49Exactly
01:00:50It's in this drawer
01:00:51Come on
01:00:54I have too much here, and I'm leaving town
01:01:03Take some, please
01:01:05Honestly, I was hoping to get you to eat some of this pie
01:01:08The doctor would not approve
01:01:09Hunter, you want some, don't you?
01:01:12Sure
01:01:12But you have to try my famous stuffing
01:01:15Hey, sorry about dinner
01:01:20It's fine
01:01:21My mom, she didn't mean anything by it
01:01:24I know, there's no pressure, right?
01:01:28Right
01:01:28We're great
01:01:30Things are great
01:01:32Yes
01:01:33Hey
01:01:35Don't worry
01:01:37I am happy
01:01:40Just the way things are
01:01:42Good
01:01:44Yeah
01:01:45You're happy, too, right?
01:01:51Oh, yeah
01:01:51I am
01:01:54Good
01:01:56It's fine
01:02:04I knew I shouldn't rush him
01:02:06And you didn't
01:02:07No, but Linda's comments pushed him to show me where he really is
01:02:11Are you sure he's where you think he is?
01:02:15Yes
01:02:15It was so clear
01:02:16I've never felt that level of awkwardness with him
01:02:19Not until last night
01:02:21It just totally confirms we're not there yet
01:02:24Kim, no, that's
01:02:26No, no, don't say it
01:02:27Don't say sorry
01:02:28There's no need for sympathy
01:02:30It's really fine
01:02:32We'll just keep dating
01:02:35Until it makes sense not to
01:02:49Hi
01:02:49Hi, how can I help you?
01:02:50Is Theo here?
01:02:52Vicky
01:02:52We need to talk
01:02:54You have to fix this, Theo
01:02:57Kim is convinced you don't want to get married
01:02:59But she said she didn't want things to change
01:03:01Did she, though?
01:03:03I thought so
01:03:04Or maybe I said that
01:03:07Why?
01:03:08Why would you say that?
01:03:10I'm just trying to make her happy
01:03:12You know, go along with what she wants
01:03:14And she said she's happy the way things are
01:03:17I'm certain of that
01:03:18Theo, you know what?
01:03:19Sometimes what Kim says and what she means
01:03:21Might be two entirely different things, right?
01:03:24Okay, look
01:03:25Whatever she said
01:03:26Maybe she was just trying to go along with whatever you wanted, too
01:03:30But I want to marry Kim
01:03:32Yeah, but you haven't told her that
01:03:33At all
01:03:34But this thing with the ring
01:03:37It just
01:03:37I want to do this right
01:03:39Look
01:03:41I know you want everything to be perfect
01:03:43But what if you're losing the moment entirely
01:03:47A ring doesn't make a proposal
01:03:50You asking her does
01:03:51And if you don't do something soon
01:03:53She's going to start doubting how you feel about her
01:03:56Okay
01:04:01Fix this, Theo
01:04:04I will
01:04:06I will
01:04:06Ashley
01:04:14Bedtime
01:04:15I was brushing my teeth
01:04:18Oh, good girl
01:04:19Okay, hop in
01:04:20Can I read tonight?
01:04:23Five minutes, then lights out
01:04:25Okay
01:04:26I love you
01:04:27I love you, too
01:04:28Good night
01:04:28Don't forget to say your prayers
01:04:31I won't
01:04:32Dear God
01:04:37I am so excited for Christmas
01:04:39Please help the presents to be good
01:04:42And help Dad to find the ring
01:04:46So that Kim can be part of my family
01:04:48In Jesus' name, amen
01:04:50I just need some ideas, options
01:05:00You mean to propose without the ring?
01:05:02Well, it's that
01:05:03Or make things a bigger mess
01:05:05And I can't risk him thinking that something's wrong
01:05:08Wait, where's Clarissa?
01:05:10Maybe she has some good ideas
01:05:11She's on a walk with Tori
01:05:12You want one of these?
01:05:14I can't think on an empty stomach
01:05:16Yeah, sure
01:05:17You want to eat it?
01:05:19No, no, that's fine
01:05:20Thanks
01:05:22So, how big of a deal do you want this proposal to be?
01:05:26Well, I've tried romantics, big theatrics
01:05:31Maybe I just need to dial it down
01:05:34You mean make it boring?
01:05:36No, like, more meaningful
01:05:39Like, heartfelt
01:05:42What would that look like?
01:05:45I don't know
01:05:46Like, taking her to
01:05:50Oh
01:05:52What, did you bite your tongue or something?
01:05:55Oh
01:05:55So what are you going to do?
01:06:09Propose
01:06:09Kim's off work now for the holidays
01:06:11Not wasting a moment more, huh?
01:06:13No
01:06:13Hey, any idea how the ring got into the cinnamon rolls?
01:06:16That's a question I'm going to ask Ashley later
01:06:18Oh, man
01:06:20Did I just give away that we made them or did you already know?
01:06:23I already knew
01:06:23But I can keep a secret if Ashley wants to keep bringing us stuff
01:06:26Hey
01:06:27Good luck
01:06:28Thanks
01:06:30I'm going to be okay
01:06:31I'll be right back
01:06:31I'm going to be okay
01:06:32Good luck
01:06:32You're going to be okay
01:06:33Okay, please
01:06:34Okay, thanks
01:08:06I promise.
01:08:07I have no clue how it got in there.
01:08:09I know.
01:08:10I'm just glad we found it.
01:08:12Me too.
01:08:13I thought you'd be done shopping by now.
01:08:24Oh, well, you know, there's always a few little things towards the end.
01:08:29You and Dad are coming over to Theo's Christmas morning, right?
01:08:31We wouldn't miss it.
01:08:34Honey, what Linda said about you and Theo, what did you think about that?
01:08:40It was well-meant, but I don't see anything happening.
01:08:46So you have thought about it.
01:08:49How can I not?
01:08:50I guess I thought you might want to marry Theo someday.
01:08:54I do, but it just seems like he's not ready.
01:08:58So someday, maybe.
01:09:02And you're okay with that?
01:09:04It's how it is.
01:09:06He's been acting strange lately, and I feel like this has only made him more stressed, which
01:09:11doesn't help, on top of work and taking care of Ashley and normal life.
01:09:17But Kim, you're plenty busy too.
01:09:19And believe me, it is not going to get any easier.
01:09:22If a life with Theo is something you want, don't wait.
01:09:28Why didn't you know you wanted to marry Dad?
01:09:31Ah, well, it was Christmas time, and I was spending it with his family.
01:09:36And I thought I'd be nervous, you know, all that time with them, but after a while, I
01:09:43just, I relaxed, and I really enjoyed the holiday.
01:09:47And I saw how he was with his family, with his parents, with his brothers, and his sisters
01:09:54all the way down to the youngest, Uncle Jack.
01:09:57Ah, yes.
01:09:58And believe me, he was a handful as a child.
01:10:01And, but your father, he was so patient, so kind, loving towards me and all of them.
01:10:12And I knew that's what I wanted for us, for our own family.
01:10:19That's when I knew I wanted to marry him.
01:10:21That's how I've been feeling for a while now.
01:10:26I've, I felt like Theo and I are supposed to be together.
01:10:30Like, we're destined for it, and I want it more than anything.
01:10:37Maybe I'm just supposed to wait for the right time.
01:10:41Even if he's not ready.
01:10:45Maybe he will be.
01:10:48One day.
01:10:48Hey, Dory, mine.
01:10:53Do you think it matters that she can see what we're wrapping?
01:10:56Nope.
01:10:57Well, I used to wrap everything in the guest room.
01:10:59Well, that was so I wouldn't see.
01:11:01Yeah, sure.
01:11:02Oh, that's Theo and Ashley.
01:11:05Don't ruin it for them!
01:11:08He's gonna ruin it for them.
01:11:16Oh.
01:11:17Thanks, Ashley!
01:11:18How do you know?
01:11:22I don't know.
01:11:25Hopefully she's down for the night.
01:11:27Oh, good.
01:11:28This is so sweet of you, Ashley.
01:11:31Dad helped.
01:11:33Meaning you paid for it.
01:11:34Oh, no.
01:11:35That's been in the back of the pantry since Ashley was six.
01:11:37Mm-hmm.
01:11:40One year, we'll be able to finish without anybody knowing it's us.
01:11:45We can certainly hope.
01:11:46Can I make some hot chocolate?
01:11:48You bet.
01:11:49So, since you haven't shared any good news, I'll assume you haven't proposed yet.
01:11:55I've tried, but haven't been able to catch up with her, and Kim's been busy today with a lot of family things.
01:12:00It's always something.
01:12:01Yeah, what about tomorrow?
01:12:03What, on Christmas Eve?
01:12:05It's the Santa send-off thing again.
01:12:07We're all going, right?
01:12:08Yeah, but it's like her favorite event.
01:12:11There's tons of crowds.
01:12:12It's not really like a quiet place to propose.
01:12:15Are you hearing excuses?
01:12:16Hmm.
01:12:18Look, I just, I don't want to put her on the spot.
01:12:21Theo, the very nature of proposing is going to put her on the spot.
01:12:25There's no way around it.
01:12:26But yeah, if you want it free of any risk of awkwardness, just mail her a letter.
01:12:31Send it the slowest way possible.
01:12:34Look, a month ago, I would have no reservations about it.
01:12:37But the way that things have been lately, what?
01:12:41What if she says no?
01:12:43Kim will say yes.
01:12:45How do you know?
01:12:46It's obvious she loves you.
01:13:06Hey, I hear wrapping paper being crinkled.
01:13:09It's Christmas Eve.
01:13:10I get to open one present.
01:13:12When did this become a tradition?
01:13:14Can I open this one?
01:13:16No.
01:13:18Uh, what about this one?
01:13:21Uh, yes.
01:13:27Oh, thanks, Dad.
01:13:30I love it.
01:13:31You're welcome.
01:13:33Oh, this is yours.
01:13:36Are you sure you don't want to save it for tomorrow?
01:13:38Open it.
01:13:39Okay.
01:13:40Okay.
01:13:47I made the frame myself at school.
01:13:51That's beautiful.
01:13:52Do you like the photo?
01:13:55I love it.
01:13:58Thank you, Ashley.
01:13:59Ashley.
01:13:59I love you.
01:14:05I love you.
01:14:06I love you too, Dad.
01:14:09Any chance I can open another present?
01:14:13No.
01:14:21Merry Christmas Eve.
01:14:23Hi, Kim.
01:14:23Ashley.
01:14:24Ashley.
01:14:24I thought you were your dad.
01:14:26How are you?
01:14:28Great.
01:14:28I'm excited for tonight, but I had to tell you.
01:14:31I gave Dad my present.
01:14:34And?
01:14:34He loved it.
01:14:36I think he even cried.
01:14:38Really?
01:14:40His eyes were definitely wet.
01:14:42No, I'm sure he loved it then.
01:14:44I'm glad.
01:14:45Thanks for helping me.
01:14:47You're welcome.
01:14:48See you tonight?
01:14:50I'll be there.
01:14:51Okay.
01:14:51Bye.
01:14:52Bye, Ashley.
01:15:11Come on.
01:15:11We're going to be late.
01:15:12No, we're not.
01:15:13Everyone will be here soon.
01:15:14Come here.
01:15:15All right.
01:15:16Quick check, everyone.
01:15:18Got the ring box.
01:15:21Do you see the ring?
01:15:22Yes.
01:15:23Yes.
01:15:24Okay.
01:15:24I'm going to put the box into the pocket.
01:15:28Okay?
01:15:30Dad, you'll be great.
01:15:32Thanks, Ashley.
01:15:34Hello.
01:15:35Hey.
01:15:36Hi.
01:15:37Where's Kim and Bill?
01:15:38Um, Kim says she'd meet us here, and Bill's parking the car.
01:15:41I'm here.
01:15:43Hey.
01:15:44Hey.
01:15:44Well, let's get started, because I hear, this year, we get to ride the train.
01:15:51Really?
01:15:52Let's do that first.
01:15:55Hey.
01:15:56Be a little less obvious.
01:16:04Enjoy the ride.
01:16:05Gross.
01:16:06Let's go say hello to Santa.
01:16:07Okay.
01:16:08Oh, welcome.
01:16:09Hi, Santa.
01:16:10Are you guys excited to ride the train?
01:16:12Yeah.
01:16:13So, are you going to get on the train right now?
01:16:15Oh, not yet.
01:16:17But I do need you to warm up the train for me, so it can take me and all the presents out
01:16:22on my journey later.
01:16:23Could we get a photo with you?
01:16:24Of course.
01:16:25Of course.
01:16:25I'll save us a seat.
01:16:27Say Merry Christmas.
01:16:29Merry Christmas.
01:16:31Oh, goodbye.
01:16:33Bye, Santa.
01:16:34Hey, Mia.
01:16:39Last year was so cool, but riding the train?
01:16:42Got some good photos.
01:16:43Nice.
01:16:44I'll send them to you.
01:16:45Thanks.
01:16:46Hey, come sit with me.
01:16:47On aboard.
01:16:47Take your seats.
01:16:49Dad, wave to Santa.
01:16:51Hi, Santa.
01:16:52You okay?
01:16:54Yeah.
01:16:55I just wish I could come sit by you.
01:16:57Oh, hang on.
01:16:59I got you.
01:17:00You sure?
01:17:01I hope so.
01:17:05Merry Christmas.
01:17:07Bye, Santa.
01:17:09Bye, Santa.
01:17:10Bye, Santa.
01:17:11Bye, Santa.
01:17:11Bye, Santa.
01:17:18Hey, guys.
01:17:19Bye, Santa.
01:17:23Bye, Santa.
01:17:26Look at that.
01:17:29It's so good.
01:17:30Oh, that's great.
01:17:31How about we get a little treat before the Santa send-off?
01:17:42Is there candy?
01:17:44Yeah, you had dessert already.
01:17:46Let's see what we can find.
01:17:51Hey.
01:17:52How are you doing?
01:17:54Fine.
01:17:55Why?
01:17:56You just look a little miserable, or like you're gonna scream.
01:18:00I'm not that bad.
01:18:03It's just every time there's a chance, something derails it.
01:18:06I just want the answer.
01:18:08Well, you still gotta ask.
01:18:10I'm trying.
01:18:10It's four words.
01:18:11Come on, how hard is that to spit out?
01:18:13Okay, it's not that simple.
01:18:15Yes, it is.
01:18:15And you gotta go for it.
01:18:16Now.
01:18:17What about the Santa send-off thing?
01:18:19It is the perfect distraction.
01:18:20Everyone will be watching Santa wave to the crowds and give a speech.
01:18:23You're right.
01:18:26Yeah.
01:18:26Go, go, go.
01:18:27Thanks, Vicky.
01:18:37Kim.
01:18:38Yeah?
01:18:40Come with me for a second.
01:18:41Okay.
01:18:44But the train is coming.
01:18:46Oh, we'll save them a spot.
01:18:47Look, there's a good place over there.
01:18:50Sorry.
01:18:51I wanted to talk, just us.
01:18:54Okay.
01:18:54I have tried and planned different ways to say this, and nothing has worked.
01:19:02Theo, what are you talking about?
01:19:03Will you marry me?
01:19:04Oh, I, uh, I got this for you.
01:19:11Oh, I forgot to kneel.
01:19:14Can I start over?
01:19:17Keep going.
01:19:19Okay.
01:19:20Uh, I have wanted to ask you for a while, but every time I tried, just one disaster after another.
01:19:28When did you want to ask me?
01:19:30A month ago, when you got your grant for the university.
01:19:33Oh, Theo, is that why you've been acting so strange?
01:19:39You've noticed?
01:19:40Yes, definitely.
01:19:43Sorry.
01:19:44No, it doesn't matter.
01:19:46I have wanted the same thing for a while now.
01:19:50Really?
01:19:52Yes.
01:19:55So?
01:19:57Theo, I love you.
01:19:59And I have loved you for a long time, and I will keep loving you.
01:20:05So, yeah.
01:20:07I will marry you.
01:20:08I...
01:20:08He did it.
01:20:28What?
01:20:29He proposed to Ken.
01:20:30Yes.
01:20:33Oh, this is amazing.
01:20:35Finally, no more secrets, and I can enjoy some peace again.
01:20:38Did you know?
01:20:39Oh, I knew everything.
01:20:41The ring got lost.
01:20:42It did?
01:20:43Oh, this makes for the perfect Christmas.
01:20:47It certainly does.
01:20:53For what?
01:20:54For saying yes.
01:20:57You're everything that I've ever wanted in my life.
01:21:01And I love you so much.
01:21:03I love you too.
01:21:05I love you.
01:21:23Bye.
01:21:23Bye.
01:21:27Bye.
01:21:32Bye.
01:21:33Bye.
01:21:33Bye.
01:21:33Bye.
01:21:33Bye.
