Our 2008 Christmas Card Photo - I drug our big leather chair right up to the french doors leading to the back patio, stood out in the rain (with Spike doing crazy things over my shoulder) and captured these two just perfectly.....seriously does not get any cuter than this!!
We have my whole family coming over this evening. Everyone is so excited....this year (especially) it all seems so magical and special. We have a tree packed with presents to open tonight (my family's tradition has always been to do gifts on Christmas Eve). There are so many thoughtful, perfect presents it's sure to be a great time. Dean is so excited for Santa and after visiting Santa at Nordstrom and telling him she wants a doll house, Addie is pretty pumped too.
The kids are getting exactly what they want from Santa, so I know tomorrow morning is going to be squeals and delight and....well pure magical!! I LOVE Christmas time!!!!!
Tomorrow, after Santa gifts and a big brunch, we are going to my little brother (sister in law Trish + nephew Ben's) for Christmas dinner with Trish's family. She is so good to have ALL of us at once....lots and lots of merriment!
Wishing you all love and magic as you celebrate the holidays!!!

How did the Peace March during the Vietnam War impact our country economically?
Who were important in the peace march? Why was it important that veterans spoke at the capital who actually came from the Vietnam War? How did it impact the country short term and long term? Where and when did the peace march take place?

What are the basic concepts of freedom vs enslavement to you?
Also do you think the following to be a true statement:
"Depending on the society a 'slave' subject to a master may have more freedom and better treatment than one that lives in a 'free' society subject to a repressive economic system"

if I want to see my children happy I jsut have to say "guess who is there? yeah is santa" and them start to jump for all the house, however in my case when I had 9 years old I discover that santa is only a myth.

I was diagnosed for breast cancer last year during the awareness campaign. Now is my turn to stand for the cause and educate others.
Wear the pink ribbon and become a part of breast cancer awareness campaign.
