Merry Christmas. The dinosaur clip was so funny because the remote seemed to be moving Cole's head, too. Also I'm waiting to see a comment from Cathy Z about your singing. Great stuff...
Enjoy the mountains and Happy New Year

OMG! I am SO glad that someone I know got that dang dinosaur for their kid! My husband and I could not get over that thing when we saw it, but my kids are just too old to appreciate it's greatness! Oh, nice hat, by the way... ;-)

Joyeux Noel a vous, trop mignon.

Ok, we might have to get the rock band thing now. We just got a wii...we're behind on the hipness.

Our girls got D-Rex instead of Spike. He's way creepy and answers questions...but a cool pet nonetheless.

Merry Post Christmas, have a great vacation.

and Happy New Year. See ya next year!

Have you seen this website Donna? http://www.mapmyrun.co.uk/

Great way to work out where to run and how far before you run it.

It is nice to see a family enjoying christmas morning. I hope your kids know how great they have it. We could only afford one present for our kids and our christmas dinner was macaroni & cheese with apple slices. May the new year be better for everyone!

Oh so precious! I love the excitement all the kids had! : )

Posted by: angie | December 28, 2008 at 08:12 PM

I want Rock Band! I love that you ran 8 miles just to spite Bill, haha. :) Love the Christmas pineapple... how many avenues does that open now that I know you can shop for Christmas gifts in the produce section? Can't wait to see you in May, I'm really wishing I'd driven up to PA earlier this month... :)

Posted by: Cameron | December 28, 2008 at 09:41 PM

Wow- 8 miles is a lot! good for you, it seems it wasn't that long ago when you 'didn't run' - !?

Triple love the hat! ;)

Posted by: Shelly | December 28, 2008 at 10:51 PM

Ya'll are so cool and look like such fun parents. I need to be more like that. Please share the story of the Christmas Pineapple! What fun! Happy New Year!

Posted by: debbieR | December 29, 2008 at 11:41 AM

Oh, I love that dinosaur Cole!!!

Posted by: Charisse | December 29, 2008 at 01:17 PM

You sing better than I do. I tried my hand at singing with the AC/DC Rockband and let's just say it wasn't pretty. Even my dog left the room. Looks like you had a great Christmas. All the best in the new year for you and your family.

Posted by: Sara | December 29, 2008 at 05:27 PM

I am so looking for one of those "heidi" hats for my trip to Chicago next week. Do you know where it's from?

Posted by: Emily Barklage | December 29, 2008 at 09:49 PM

Happy Holidays and thanks for sharing. I wanted the dinosaur for Cristmas but couldnt even fit it in my budget for my Godson. Loved watching!

Posted by: Karenraye | December 30, 2008 at 03:50 AM

Oh my God. The singing at the end?

I would pay to see that DAILY.

LOVE YOU!

Get the Garmin running watch. It is awesome for tracking your routes and telling you how far you have run. We use it for hiking too. Costco had the Garmin Forerunner before Christmas for a great price!

Posted by: Sue | December 30, 2008 at 07:40 PM

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Healthy New Year!
I look forward to more fun and sharing in 2009!

Posted by: Gaby Bee | December 31, 2008 at 06:33 AM

Thanks for the laugh. It's a great way to start my day. Hope your vaca is fun & safe. :)
