Christmas posts are coming soon! But they will have to be in a few days because we have family in. Oh ya! My grandparents from Oregon came down here since we couldn't go there. So I'm gonna spend some time with the family while they're here instead of me sittin at the computer while everyone is having family time. But I'm still here so don't give up on me! :)

Loooong Mornin
It all started at 4:00 in the morning. Dad came into my room and woke me up. We were all ready and packed for our trip to Oregon for Christmas to stay with my Grandma and Grandpa. I hopped in the car with my blankey and pillow. We headed off for the 14 hour drive ahead of us. I quickly fell asleep. So a couple hours later I woke up to the sound of my parents talking. We were on a road that had a bunch of ice on it. My parents were discussing which road to take. One was a shortcut, but had more ice on it, and the other was allot longer but wouldn't be as hard on our suburban. So Dad decided to take the shortcut. We had been traveling down this road for a while when suddenly the engine started making a tapping noise. Dad slowed down and listened hard. The crankshaft which is usually tight and snug, loosened up and was knocking, which is really bad! So we pulled over and dad called AAA. We waited about 20 min. And they arrived. So then we started our journey back home. Another 100 miles. So now were home with no plans for Christmas, no suburban, and our clothes all packed up. So, no Oregon after all!

One thing leads to another...
It all started with Savannah asking me to put a clip in her hair. So then it led to me brushing her hair, doing a twist, another twist, 4 small braids, and adding a whole different clip. And it just wouldn't be finished unless I curled it. So here is the finished product.

Thanks Giving!
Sorry I'm late on posting. It's been really busy these past few weeks.





This is what Aven (Villa's big brother) would give me each time I tried to get a picture of him.
He also started throwing pillows at me. Apparently it was a pretty fun game. (for him)
I don't have many pictures of Owen (his brother, the oldest)because dad got him addicted to our racing game on the computer. So I didn't see much of him. DAD!
This is the only good one I got of him. No family pictures! How bad of me.
