Just Dance 4

NO PICTURES will EVER be posted from this incredibly fun evening in our families life. 
Quick run-down for those who do not have tween or teen children... Xbox (hope I don't have to explain what that is).... Kinect (an accessory for the Xbox that allows you to "play" without a controller -- it reads your body movements -- similar to a Wii from Nintendo).... Just Dance 4 -- a dancing "game" where you follow the dancing grooving moves of the "expert" on the screen!

Carrie and Annette spent the weekend with us, and Anika had just gotten the game... so was excited to try it out with Tante Carrie.  Liv joined in the fun the first night -- we heard them giggling and jumping/pounding for a couple of hours Saturday night! 

Liv said "my waist feels bad."  :)

The next night Grandma Annette thought we should all check it out... so one by one the family joined in... at first just to watch and poke fun.... but eventually we were ALL dancing (not at the same time = it can only handle 2-4 players at one time).  Grandma moved and grooved to aBarry White's
You're the First, The Last, My Everything...... Carrie and Anika "Istanbul"... Thor and I challenged each other to "The Final Countdown,"  and Dirk and Thor faced off with JLo's "on the floor"....

The night flew by... if Lars hadn't started to snuggle on a pillow who knows how long we would have gone....

A Fresh Start

2013:
A fresh start to my blogging.  This past weekend my mother-in-love and Sis-in-love were visiting... one of our best long weekends with them yet!  One of the brightest moments for me was dragging out the "new" old photo albums.  2006-2010....  not so old... but still things many of didn't remember until we looked back at the photos.  Even more fun was reading my "old blog" -- morrison family.blogspot... yearbook that I had printed out for Christmas 2010

Since Lars was born, the blogging world has been left behind ... the world of facebook was a bit more userfriendly and instantly gratifying.  But the ability to write out memories and moment with the kids is totally lost there. 

So I have a new ambition -- to continue the family blog -- and to remember those cute moments (and maybe a few learning moments) for both parents and kids. 

I'm already full of new ideas!!
