This just my day. We watched it last night when I pitched a fit and made Scott and Matt turn off the Jazz game in the name of "tradition". Go tradition.
TOTALLY not made up... Although I can't believe Alicia actually made Scott and Megan turn off a ball game! We watched a bit of it at Lisa's Thursday night, and Isabel was totally dancing and spinning along with Judy to "The Best Things Happen When You're Dancing". Happy.
I'll vouch for this tradition because I think of the Lees every time I see it. I first watched it at the insistence of Michelle at age, oh, six? I love Bing.
So this was my first time watching White Christmas on Thanksgiving with the fam. I had seen snippets of the movie, but this was my first time watching the whole thing and on thanksgiving and with the lees! OMG I loved it! It made me so happy and I felt like I had been "hazed" and accepted into the official tradition of this movie! BTW I want that one girl's tiny, tiny waist...holy sh*tballs..I think she may have had a rib removed...wtf...and for the record, there is not such thing as a "made up" tradition...that's the definition of tradition! xo
Weird to leave you a reply via comment...but it seems appropriate? As far as the virtual set up, if you know a guy who isn't scared off by the shallowness of my blog, then by all means please send him my way!
Yup. We Lee girls watch White Christmas on Thanksgiving Day and It's A Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve. Dave even joins in for Jimmy Stewart. By the way Michelle, did I ever tell you about the time that Jimmy...
Sayla Larsen and Kaiya have dance together on Tuesdays. Imagine a dozen uncoordinated three-year-olds running around a studio in tutus. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. The girls were playing at our house after class the other day. They are so funny together... See? Told ya.
Valentine's Day seemed as good an excuse as any to schedule long-overdue photos for the kiddos. (And I'm posting all of my favorites because I can. Also so that my mom and Marsha can tell me which ones they want me to print for them.) Ben was an absolute turd during this photo shoot, which is why I'm amazed these pictures turned out as good as they did. I will have to Photoshop that sucker out of his hand when I order prints for the wall, though. Here's our little GQ junior model... Seriously, how could anyone stay mad at that face? And here's Miss Kaiya! She is growing up WAY too fast for my liking. This one is my favorite! So... once Ben finally cheered up, Kaiya acted up, and our attempts at getting a decent sibling photo were kinda' thwarted... This one will have to do :)
Christmas Eve We attempted to teach the Walker grandkids the nativity story by having them act it out. Ben was uncooperative and the costumes need some work (my fault), but the kids were pretty cute nonetheless. Ben cheered up when he got to play with this super friendly golden retriever puppy that my in-laws were babysitting/hiding (he was to be a Christmas surprise for some friends). What is it about this breed that is so stinkin' cute!? Kaiya decorated some cookies for Santa by emptying two jars of sprinkles. Christmas Day Since we video taped the whole procession, we neglected to take too many pictures Christmas morning. But here are a couple shots of the magic. Among other things, Santa gave Kaiya a puppy... as real a puppy as she'll ever get, anyway :) Santa also brought Ben his own little car which he's been driving around the basement for three days (alongside Kaiya on her new birt...
