Richie takes Kim on the Ferris Wheel at the Irvine Spectrum for her birthday.  They have a little dinner at Wahoo's, ride the wheel and walk around the area a bit and then head home to their nest.

Richie and Kim go and visit Kelly and Rebecca at Kelly's new apartment.  Kelly and Richie BBQ steaks for them despite the fact that it's about 50 degrees out and 9 in the evening, but the meal is wonderful.  They eat a repeat meal of mashed red potatoes, asparagus and steak.  This time, they drink cheaper wine.  Yup, the holidays are-a-comin'....

Kelly, Rebec, Joe, Diana and Andre show up throughout Richie and Kim's day off.  For dinner, Diana shows kim how to make her meatloaf and Kim learns how to make a meatloaf for the first time.  They sit under the tree and sing Christmas carols as Andre accomplanies then on the guitar, they drink eggnog and snack on many dippable delights, including a new recipe for pumpkin dip for apple slices.  Yum!

Richie and Kim go to Home Depot and meet Kelly and Rebec in the circle at Felix's for dinner and naturally end up back at Studio 69 for a few more drinks and many laughs.
