.:: Here is a story-in-song of what our family did last year. We hope you are inspired to make your own family memories this year and always have many blessed times to remember! Happy New Year from our family to yours::.
Wake up to the sunlight with your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress
Use your good dishes
Make a big mess
And make lots of wishes
Have what you want
But want what you have
And don't spend your life lookin' back
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you lived.
So go to the ball game
And go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don't run from the truth
Cause you can't get away
Just face it and you'll be okay.
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
Cause you won't regret it
Looking back from where you have been
Cause it's not who you knew
It's not what you did
It's how you lived.
Oh, wherever you are
And wherever you've been
Now is the time to begin.
So give to the needy
And pray for the greiving
Even when you don't think that you can
Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
Make peace with God
And make peace with yourself
Cause in the end, their's nobody else.
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
Cause you won't regret it
Looking back from where you have been
Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you lived!

Oh my goodness, Nicole! This is my all time favorite post of the whole past year of all the blogs I read!! I love it! :) The pictures you chose are absolutely perfect -- and the words hit the nail on the head. Greetings to your whole family!
Love you, girl!
Hello! I found your blog by a comment, and I thought I would come and see!
That's a beautiful post you've written! I really liked it! It was inspiring!

Awsome post, Nicole (or Tiff)!!!!!!!I love all 56 pictures. (Chels told me that you said you did a post with 56 pix; she thought you were joking) Way to go. We're guessing it was easier to download pictures on the Yoders' high speed internet?:D(if that's where you did it) Again, awsome post (we've known that for yyeeaarrssss!!)
Happy trails,
Allison
