Two thumbs up!

I hope this post finds everyone

enjoying their holiday break.

I hope that everyone enjoyed Christmas day with

friends & loved ones too.

Did 'Santa' bring everything you wished for?

Did you stop to think about the true meaning of Christmas?

My son Carsen, amidst all of the unwrapping of gift's

said (with a gasp), "Today is baby Jesus' birthday!!"

Made me so proud that my 8 year old son was thinking

of something more....something bigger than himself.

Last evening got quiet real quick in our home.

Ben took the 3 little ones with him to spend this week with them

Christy and her boy's had to head home.

Suddenly the house became too quiet.

Lunden & I decided to hit up a movie.

We went to see...

'New Year's Eve'

It is such a WONDERFUL movie.

You can't really go wrong with a Gary Marshall movie, right?

I give it two thumbs up and highly recommend it to everyone.

Until next time....

"Before we pop the champagne and celebrate the New Year, let's stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps, our promises made and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures or closed ourselves down for fear of getting hurt because that is what New Years is all about- getting another chance.

A chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more.

 And stop worrying about what if and start embracing what would be.

So when that ball drops at midnight and it will drop, let's remember to be nice to each other,

 kind to each other. And not just tonight but all year long"

-- 'New Years Eve'
