December 23rd



playing the Michael Jackson wii game...so much fun! I had the wii remote in one hand, the camera remote in the other hand and still managed to win. :) If you want a fun way to lose some weight, you really work up a sweat to this game

December 22nd again

This year we celebrated Christmas early with my family. I have a bunch of nice pictures with people smiling pretty but i love this one....it's such a typical family get together at my parents place. Food, boys holding a wii remote, my dad making people laugh and the dog being nosey wondering what the crazy humans are doing

We bought him a bigger bed but he still loves to squeeze into this one.  Sometimes his whole body hangs off it and only his back legs are on it.
