It seems as though everyone I know was ready to give 2008 a kick in the butt! When I was putting together the montage I always think pretty hard about the song that I put to it. I could not get the word "believe" out of my head. So when I typed it into my song search I came up with the song "I Believe". It's about believing in the impossible, overcoming obstacles, dreaming, and striving for the best. Hopefully everyone will have the attitude in 2009 to do these things.
A few days before Christmas I went to Cole's holiday party at school. Where they had treats, sang songs, played a game, and had a book exchange.
Our Christmas was great! The kids really got into this year. Landry could have gotten 1 baby and been totally happy with just that! Instead she got 7 new babies, and loved toting them around with her everywhere. Along with her kitchen, shopping cart, and dishes! Cole was keeping close track of gift count this year. It wasn't about the gift - it was about the # of gifts... So I really had to make sure it was even. He got a lot of new Wii games, Bakugan stuff, and Pokeman. I made my first Prime Rib dinner and it was a success. It's going to be our new tradition on Christmas night.
The weather has kept us home bound during the holiday break. We've had ice and snow galore. With a couple of really warm days in between which caused flooding and other issues. What weird weather!
New Years Eve. we went to some friends house and rang in the new year with all the kiddos. All of the kids stayed up past midnight. I was hoping Landry would crash early, but there was no chance that was happening with all the excitement.
Here's to a NEW YEAR! May 2009 bring you love, laughter, and happiness!
