My Favorites!

It has been so much fun reading through your favorite songs. I have particularly enjoyed how everyone has different favorites.  

After Brent read yesterday's post he got all, "Why is there a picture of me? Where is the picture of you? I don't think you should post pictures of me without posting pictures of you."

These are for you my darling cranky, 70's clad, hubby!

My Third Christmas


Me in all my 15 year old glory.  Check out the rat tail.  How cool was I!

My Favorite Christmas Songs:

#1 As previously stated Sarah McLachlan's album, "Wintersong," pretty much every song.  My favorite, favorite though is, "What Child is This."

#2 It wouldn't be Christmas without a little Vince Guaradli Trio's, "A Charlie Brown Christmas," I'm almost positive that my Christmas tree fixation started with "Charlie Brown's Christmas."

Brent's and mine first Christmas tree, we called it our Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

#3 Bing Crosby's, "White Christmas," this song and movie helped me survive all the brown Christmas's of California

#4  "Silver and Gold" growing up my parents use to play a duet of Silver and Gold every Christmas.  My dad on the trumpet my mom on the piano. 

#5  "Winter Wonderland," "Baby its Cold Outside," "Let it snow, let it snow," and "Frosty the Snowman." I have a firm belief that we should have beautiful white Christmas every year.  It just needs to go away January 2.

Speaking of brown Christmas... the boys and I were driving along the bluffs today. Suddenly, Gordon gasped and said, "oh look Zach... isn't it just so beautiful?" Then the two of them talked of the gorgeous town we live in. Want to guess what they were struck by?? THE OIL FIELDS!

We definately have brown Christmases around here.

FYI... You were a totally cute kid! That even includes your 15 year old, rat tail sporting self. =)

My favorite Christmas songs are very traditional as well. I love Oh Holy Night, Baby What's it Gonna be (flash back to high school choir), The Christmas Song (Chestnut's roasting on an open fire...) and my all time, all time, all time favorite is and will always be, the all time classic favorite, written by the priest in Germany...Silent Night. I can't believe no one else mentioned that one!!! Who are you people???

As for listening before Thanksgiving, shame on you all!!! ;) Just kiddin, I've actually caught myself on those stations a few times this year but only if it is traditional stuff. Who said they like the shoe song? That one is just way too hard to listen to for me. Christmas is a time to be happy.
Nice pictures!

Willow, LOL I use to make Brent take me up to the bluffs all the time. I thought all those oil rigs were cool.

H, Lisa is the one that said Christmas Shoes. She also mentioned Silent Night.:) She is the one that has all the heart.

Hey Krissi, I absolutely love the Christmas season, and yes, I've been listening to Christmas songs also. I tell my girls that we are having a "music appreciation" lesson and I tell them stories about the singers and the songs we are listening to. Pretty annoying, eh? But hey...how many kids these days can recognize the voices of Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Andy Williams, etc.? I think I am going to blog a little about this subject. By the way, I am totally inspired by your sugar abstinence. Not that I am going to follow suit. But at least I am inspired.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
