Great Few Days

The last few days have been SO PLEASANT. Everyone in the house has been so upbeat, happy, and uptimistic. It really helps to have fun when everyone is in a great mood... sounds like common sense, but it is easy to forget when typically atleast one of our children is either moody or just plain down.

We went to see Bolt at the theatre yesterday. It was awesome. No really, really good! We all had our laughs and enjoyed the completely original plot. It was like "Lassie Meets the Truman Show". Clever, and fun. Lexi was so proud of herself sitting with the kidpack that Daddie got her. She took the whole movie just to eat the little baggie of gummies that came with it but found great pride in putting her cup in the real cup holder and sitting behind a bag of popcorn. I put up the armrest and pulled her close to me. She looked at me like I was crazy and then put it back down and sat normal, as if to say" that is NOT how the big kids do it." Super cute!

Then Lolo and Papa came over for dinner and rocked out to Rockband with the fam. Super good times.

Today we had Anna and Rainy and Laurie over to watch the Cardinals WIN!!! That was awesome. Anyway, we have been working out as a family and having fun and just enjoying each other. I never thought I would say this, especially at the start of winter break, but I almost don't want it to end. We have really been having fun. The house is a real mess. The laundry is behind. But what has mattered most has happened and that was family fun. We got to see people we love. We got to play games, watch movies, eat fun food, and celebrate Christ. What more could a person ask for??
