A Movie review, Some random thoughts, a milestone and miracle.

We had a chance last night to go see the new Disney Christmas Carol movie. My kids both wanted to see it and were pretty excited, but, it was not the best show to take little girls to. It had some pretty scary images for little ones and since it was in 3d it was right in your face. I think they took a great story and added a ton of special effects and forgot about the true meaning of the story.
One of Jon's friends from work gave us the tickets to the movie last night and his family was there also. They have 3 little girls, 2 of whom are the same ages and Brianna and Carly. We had told them that there would be friends there. We hadn't been there more that 5 minuets and Bri and the other girl her age were fast friends. Since it was a Disney movie and sneak peak too, there was a DJ there (Who just happened to be my cousin Rob who is really great) and they had dancing and fun stuff to start it all off. By the time we left the theater the girls were holding hands and wondering when they would get to play again. I love how fast kids make friends they are just so accepting, I wish we could all make friends so fast.

Yesterday Jon and I also celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. We have been together for 16 years now and I still think I'm the luckiest girl alive to have found such a great man.

I still think we make a pretty cute couple.

I have the cutest little family.

And the two pretties little girls ever.

All these great pictures were taken by my best friend Jill. you can see more of her photos at her site jilloaksphotography.blogspot.com

The Cousins

And now for the miracle

My parents divorced 15 years ago and it has been even longer than that since we had a family picture taken. There still some tense moments in my family, but I love them all so much and am very very happy to finally have a picture will all of us.
