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...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
