The best movie EVER

We got "Meet the Robinsons" for Christmas. I absolutely love that movie. It has such a great message.
This is my favorite song from it . Enjoy!!!



Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder

Don't you know the hardest part is over
Let it in, let your clarity define you
In the end we will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists & turns of fate
Time falls away, but these small hours
These small hours still remain

Let it slide, let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine until you feel it all around you
And i don't mind if it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by, it's the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists & turns of fate
Time falls away, but these small hours
These small hours still remain

All of my regret will wash away some how
But I can not forget the way I feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away, but these small hours
These small hours, still remain
Oh they still remain
These little wonders
Oh these twists & turns of fate

Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain

Merry (late) Christmas

Just thought I should probably write since I haven't in a while. Sorry about that.
My Christmas was wonderful. It was great to spend time with family and celebrate the birth of Christ. Some of the family woke up early and took care of our animals, then woke the rest of us up (or at least got us up) and we opened presents. We do Christmas different in the sense that we get presents that will help us come closer to Christ. I got a sign that says "Prepare to meet God", among other things. We also have a tradition of going to brunch at my grandparents house on Christmas day. We have such a big meal and a great time. After that we visited my other grandparents, came home and lounged... watched movies and vegged out.
Here are pictures of the family...

the cutest guy in the house with mom

opening a present. oh the suspense.

didn't know we were taking that one...

or that one...

or this one.

just lounging
sorry - no pictures of me.

And we had a white Christmas. Did you know that a white Christmas does not just mean that you have snow on the ground but that it actually snows on Christmas day? I learned that from my all-knowing Aunt at brunch. So here a couple pictures of our white Christmas!! Isn't it beautiful? (
They were taken from the car. I apologize for the blurriness. )


Great fun, great memories.

Fun weekend

Last week we went to our good friends, the Bergesons. It was a fun filled weekend with movies, games, great food and good company. The adults talked while all the kids watched movies and played (mostly air hockey). We laughed, we relaxed. Some stayed up far into the night (and even into the wee hours of day) just talking. Chad (the dad) cooked all the terrific meals. There was shopping sprees. Oh, and blogging. All in all, a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for the good times. We hope to see you soon (up here).


And my family...
