I Love my Husband

Tonight is my husband's regular poker night. Every Wednesday he and his friends get together to play (with the exception of holidays of course). So tonight the boys are at my house and cute little Ruby is downstairs entertaining them all while I'm getting Violet ready for bed. So after I get Violet to sleep I make my way down to the basement to get Ruby for her bath and nighttime ritual. As I round the corner at the bottom of the stairs this is the picture I see:
Five manly guys sitting around the poker table with one adorable 3 year old dressed up in her princess dress. She has her own poker chips and cards in her hand (the jokers and the rules cards). She is completely loving the fact that she is playing cards with daddy and the movie playing on the wall from our projector screen is "My Little Pony Christmas". I LOVE it! So cute.
I remember when Ruby was a baby, the guys played poker and took turns holding her at the table. Heck, I even went into labor with Violet on a poker night. I'm actually happy that with all the changes these babies have caused us to make, this isn't one of them. I know it sounds strange. It almost brought a tear to my eye. Especially tonight as I remember my dad on his birthday and wondering if he is watching it from above too.
