Christmas Friday Favorites

This is actually a post about favorites from Christmas' of the past. I wanted to share with all of my many nieces and nephews some of my favorite things at Christmas time when I was little and young.

The song It's Marshmallow World is a funny, cute little song. I still like this song now but mostly because it reminds of my two older sisters Michelle and Erin. They used to perform this little number at the very elite Granada Christmas Concert. I loved this song. I loved the idea of a world being covered in marshmallows. I'm not quite sure why exactly because I don't even like marshmallows (unless toasted and smashed between chocolate and graham crackers.) I think it piqued my fancy because, growing up in Southern California, I had very little experience with snow. Whatever the reason was I loved this song and loved to hear my very grownup sisters singing it around our house. It really must be nice to have little sisters because well, we just think you older ones are wonderful in everything you do. But then again, you really are!

My next favorites are a couple of Disney Cartoons I always looked forward to seeing on TV when I was a little girl. Now, you can simply just buy these on DVD's. I love how even if we own our own copy of a certain movie or children's cartoon it's always fun to find it surprisingly on TV. And even if we've watched it a millions times already it still feels like "Oh ! the Disney Christmas Cartoon is on!" And we simply have to watch it.....again.

The Missing Month of November

An entire month has come and gone in which there is not one post to show for it! And November was a great month! I mean it's not like it's January or anything where everyone just stares at each other wondering what is there possibly to do?

There is a good reason for this missing month though. Two weeks of November were spent in Europe! Adam and I had lovely holiday (doesn't that sound British?) We really had a wonderful time seeing so many places that you read and hear about. It was so fun to travel with Adam and all of my family as well. It felt like being a kid again in the back of the big van, laughing and talking with all of my many siblings and with Mom and Dad in the front somehow tolerating all that racket and nonsense.

It really was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I cannot thank my Dad and Mom enough for their generosity. Thank you for taking me to Europe! I can't believe I actually got to go! I mean I really don't go too many places so this was an amazing way to start off the stamps in my passport!

*More pictures to come soon hopefully. Slide shows really do take a dreadfully long time to do!
