Merry Christmas - Don't Pee Your Pants

I know that Elf Yourself is a not a new thing but I swear it makes me laugh every time I see it so what better way to wish you all a very Merry Christmas than by making you laugh along with my family! Hope your Christmas Day is extra special. (That's my dad alongside my girls)

Beautiful Little Family


This is my brother, his wife and his little girl. Aren't they cute? They, too, were bundled up for the Christmas parade. Then Joey bought a light up pacifier just for fun and let Robin have it. I wonder if it made her eyes go crazy!

One Funny Kid

My nephew, Trent, has had the best sense of humor since he began interacting with people. He just knows what is funny and he loves to laugh. While we were waiting for the Christmas parade to begin, he wanted to show me his boots. Then I just had to capture his song on the video too. He made it up - saying "I got the school bus. I got the school bus." Oh, I just love this kid!

Small Town Pageant




Last night we bundled ourselves up and drove downtown (7 entire blocks) to watch my home town's Christmas parade. Half the town was out sitting on the curbs enjoying the excitment of Christmas. There was someone we knew with every passing group and my dad kept waving and shouting "Hey! That's my neighbor!" I experienced a great sense of nostalgia as I watched the color guard march with one of the 4 members never quite moving correctly to the cadence, the high school band wearing flashing rudolph noses, the group of guitarists that obviously didn't bother to tune their instruments before hitting the pavement, and then one tractor after another pulling the floats. Yes, that's small town USA for you.

Will Someone Convince them it's Winter!


Each morning my 2 oldest children come out with capris and short-sleeved shirts on. Additionally, each morning the outside thermometer reads 42 degrees or less. There seems to be a little "disconnect" going on in our home. I usually make one or two comments and then let them make their own choices. So, this evening they left the house with short-sleeves on. (At least Natalie took a light jacket.) But after standing outside for a few minutes they realized Mom might truly be correct - it's COLD OUTSIDE IN DECEMBER!
