Song of the Year!

Tradition... tradition (sing this like Tevia would).  Me (megan) and Emsicle (or as Lisa calls us "Megily") have a tradition that I want to tell you all about.  We name one song our song of the year.  Sometimes it's just one that we really like and sing a lot and sometimes it is one that has special meaning.  This year our song has made the cut because of a couple reasons.  #1 the music video is touching.. and makes us laugh.  #2 the musical quality is full of diversity and NEVER will be boring even after a whole year!  #3 This year I am positive will be full of work and sweat, but I just have a feeling it will feel like paradise at the same time.  We will be greatly blessed because of our diligent and amazing missionary parents, and... I for this reason, and others, just feel optimistic about a lot of things in store for all of us!  The song is Paradise by Coldplay.  Here is the link so you can listen if you want. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G4isv_Fylg&ob=av2e

Lizzie's Favorite Show

Lizzie doesn't really care much about T.V. like her brother does but we discovered one day what T.V. show she loves.  So I started the show again the next day and got my video camera out.  Watch her face in this video.

 

The BackYardigans is the show

Christmas Party

For the 3rd year in a row everyone gathered together at Kristin and Lisa's house for a Gingerbread House decorating party.  This year, we also had family home evening and exchanged white elephant gifts.  I don't know if there is a limit to the number of pictures a single blog post can hold, but this entry will put it to the test.  Enjoy!

Rob's family didn't come to Utah for Christmas this year, but Arianna, Rachel, and Beckam were decorating houses with us in spirit :).

As you can see, this is turning into a fun family tradition.  Already looking forward to Christmas 2012!
