New Bike + Cool Ramp = One Happy Boy With NO FEAR

Santa and Meme & Poppy (my Mom and Dad) have made Corben a very happy boy. The new bike is from the North Pole, and the ramp from Meme & Poppy. I can't think of a better combination for Corben (unless it's a motorcycle). He asks every day if he can ride and use the ramp, and proceeds to ride and jump for as long as he can. He LOVES it! He has no fear, as seen in the video. I had to post the pictures as well, just to show the actual air he is getting--scary since he's only been riding on it for 2 weeks. I'll have to repost in a couple months when he's clearing it or doing wheelies off the ramp. YIKES!




























Great idea Meme and Poppy! THANK YOU!! (oh, and Santa too :)

Two Fantastic Movies

Over the holidays we saw two really great movies and our family highly recommends them! National Treasure Book of Secrets was a great follow up to the original.

The second movie, I had really been dragging my feet to see. Turned out to be a fantastic movie and definitely left you with the warm fuzzies!
These two movies were voted by our family to be library worthy--our library. :) (sorry the pictures are a little blurry)

December at our House

Well December is almost over and it was a busy month at our house. Enjoy the slide show to summarize the many events for our family. We hope everyone felt love and happiness at this glorious time of year! 2008 here we come....

Those Holiday Commercials

These are two of my favorite holiday commercials - I get a good laugh everytime they are on tv. Best parts of each ; Man driving,-no teeth guy with pointy ears, Woman driving - unibrow. Hilarious. Turn off the music player and enjoy a quick laugh. And give a Garmin (or get one, or even a Magellan, or Tom Tom, Navigon, whatever -- you'll never be sorry!!!)

Griswolds or Gebski's?

After our trip to SC we decided to stop and pick up our Christmas tree since the month is diddling away so quickly. It was pretty cold that evening and Lester forgot to grab a jacket, so he did his best looking and then retreated to the barrel fire the lot had by the entrance. It reminded me a lot of Forgotten Carols and the We Are Not Homeless song.....kind of funny. I grabbed this quick picture of Maddie racing through the trees:We found our tree, and of course it was pretty much one of the first ones we examined-kind of skinny and on the tall side, just how we like them. We brought it in the house on Thursday and I didn't get to putting on the lights until today. I have this thing with the lights, I guess I could have put this on my 6 things post, but I'm kind of OC with lights on the tree. I have to stand back, squint and look for holes where no lights are. Anyway, on with the story already....well half way down the tree I almost had one of these moments...(make sure to pause the Christmas music)

...when I came upon this deep in our tree:
Thankfully for our sakes, it is empty. Corben thought it was extremely cool that a bird lived in this particular tree. No squirrels though, wheewwww!
