Mr Krueger's Christmas

I wanted to share this  1980 made for TV film that the LDS church presents with the Mormon Tabernacle choir. It's about 24 minutes long, it is about a lonely janitor that escapes everyday life in his fantasy dreams. I remember being excited everytime this came on to watch when I was kid. It really is a cute show with  a good message at the end ,my favorite characters are Clarissa and of course George.  I hope you take a minute to watch it, but I wont mind if you dont just stop my playlist so you are able to listen to it. Enjoy!

Family traditions and Our Christmas Tree

For at least 15 years my family has made it a tradition to go up into the Mountains to cut down a tree the day after Thanksgiving. The majority of the family love going every year. For years we started the tradition going up to Mountain Green  at a live tree lot where they sell them. Than for some years they went up in to the Unitas's  and into Montana when we stayed at the cabin one year. This year we went up to Mountain Green again. Brian and I have not gone with them for a few years now. But it was important to me with all the family together this year that it was not even a hard decision.  We bundled up really good with the temperature saying a -3 in the mountains, but it  wasn't that bad. The scenery was just gorgeous as the sun was hitting on the fresh white snow at nine in the morning. At the tree lot there was so many trees to look  and we all had a tree picked out pretty fast, with the help of Nathan's gas saw it was down in no time.  Brian is a nice model right next to the tree.

All together for Thanksgiving dinner

Hey...I thought we dont have to many pictures of Thanksgiving.  Tyler, Tiffany, and Nicholas came to visit us in Utah for the week, you  never know when all seventeen of us will be together again for another holiday.

Harry Potter

  We as a family are just stoked to see Deathly Hollows Part 1. It is a tradition to purchase the tickets ahead of time to see the movie for that first weekend when it comes out in theaters.  As a family we have enjoyed the anticipation of waiting for that "next big"  movie from the next book.  Braxton has grown up with Harry Potter for about 10 years. So we will enjoy this movie as we think about all the years that Harry Potter

 has been a part of Braxton's life as well as ours.

Marie Osmond - This Is The Way That I Feel/ Flashback Friday

 When I was about 11 yrs old this was one of my favorite records and my most favorite song.  My mom had bought it for me at a yard sale but after a few years it had a lot of scratches on it.  If you are interested you can listen to it and the other songs as well. (I did it more for my pleasure)

I am thankful for

I am thankful for  BRAXTON!

Even when Braxton was just a week old he slept every night the whole night without waking up once from the time he was a newborn  till he was 3 yrs old. I do re call some nights when he would wake up when he was sick or something, but I would put him down and I would be waking him up in the morning.  As he grew older he was always so considerate of other peoples feelings, school teachers and him were always friends. He has always been a happy person and he has the gift of being gabby just like his mother. Later on he became more support to me I know as he gave me help and love on very bad days. Now being in his teens, I see he is very mature for his age and being a boy. He respects girls and treats and talks about them in a nice way.  He has hardly ever needed help doing his homework,  my struggle is only to get him to do it,  which is every parents problem I know  but he takes it all  on himself.  I laugh and say its because his parents don't understand the modern day assignments that is somewhat true ha ha. He tries to keep peace with me and his dad, and I see a change in him that he is taking on responsibilities to make us happy.  I couldn't ask for a better son and I am so thankful for him. He just keeps getting better and bigger every year.
