You're not leaving, right?

Crap, I'm sorry, sweetie. Are you okay?

You know what? Never mind.

Brian and I will stay.

- We can stay, too.

- No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry.

You know what? I just

didn't want my party to end.

- It's okay. You guys go.

- We understand.

Just go. Have a good time.

Sweetie, are you sure? You okay?

You're doing great.

- We'll make it up to you.

- Okay.

- Mischa!

- Thank you.

You know, we gotta get to

the grandparents...

...but we'll be back for the leftovers.

Hi, sweetie. Time to go.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Yay, yay.

Mom, I'll help.

Oh, no, no. You need your sleep.

It's an early morning tomorrow.

Your birthday's coming up. December 30th?

Yeah. Yeah. Thirtieth.

Maybe we shouldn't go skiing.

Why not?

Maybe we should be here.

For my birthday?

Yeah. I mean, you shouldn't be alone...

...like, all by yourself on your birthday.

I'm not gonna be alone.

I'll be with my girlfriends.

You don't have to worry about that.

But shouldn't we have a party?

You know what? We'll have

cake when you get back.

But you're gonna have

some fun on the day, right?

Yes. I am gonna have so much fun.

...that I'm gonna track you down,

call you...

...and make you sing Happy Birthday to me.

- Promise?

- Promise. Go to bed.

- Night, Mom.

- Good night.

- Love you.

- Love you, too.

This chocolate Santa was in your stocking.

But you're not really eating sweets, right?

No, you can have it. Just

don't eat it for breakfast.

- Yeah. I love you.

- I love you.

I love you. I love you.

- Bye, Mom.

- I love you, Mom.

I love you, too. Have fun.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Hey, when are your kids back?

The day before New Year's.

I thought you guys were

two-weeks on, two-weeks off?

Yeah, usually we are. It's

just, you know, the holidays.

Why?

Happy birthday.

I'm taking you to Hawaii for your birthday.

What?

A quickie, three days, three nights...

...at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

We'll get tans and massages and

drink pretty drinks poolside.

- Kristine!

- What? You're my best friend.

You're turning 40, and so am I soon...

...and we absolutely deserve this.

Thank you.

I don't know if it can work,

Jackie. We got a party that night.

Well, can you hire a sitter?

Think I'll find somebody on New Year's Eve?

Dad totally sucks at board sports!

Well, thank you, Will.

Dad bailed seven times!

Thank you. May I have my phone back, please?

Listen, I'm gonna have to ask Melinda.

What, wait.

My first vacation in three years.

...is being held

hostage by a 28-year-old?

She's gonna be 29 in March.

She's that old?

All right, Jackie. I'll see what I can do.

No, just let me know as soon as you can.
