No one hardly ever comments!  I LOVE COMMENTS!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 blog, easier right? Simplify, right?!? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, I am a blonde.

I am so excited to start my year out fresh with a clean slate.  I don't know why I feel that way, I just do.  Things are so wonderful during the holidays but everything seems so rushed.  The birth of Jesus Christ is the true meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate -yet it seems to get crowded out too often during the hustle and bustle.  I was so lucky to be able to capture a few fleeting moments and get these photos with my children and my two nephews during a visit to Colby's parents.   These are my favorite photos of the 2008 holiday and will be treasured always (even though Mason wanted NOTHING to do with that robe!).  Remember the Saviour throughout the seasons and keep him close.  Best wishes this year to all my friends and family, - love, April&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5081848798950193241-8950493533879899224?l=aprilandcolby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aprilandcolby.blogspot.com/feeds/8950493533879899224/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5081848798950193241&amp;postID=8950493533879899224' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5081848798950193241/posts/default/8950493533879899224'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5081848798950193241/posts/default/8950493533879899224'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aprilandcolby.blogspot.com/2009/01/happy-new-year.html' title='happy new year!'/><author><name>April</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MabaMd_gZqw/TG9NHX2mYII/AAAAAAAAALA/_4F_as6iGtc/S220/0804001631.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MabaMd_gZqw/SWKoebEoB9I/AAAAAAAAAD0/iqkGKboyJI0/s72-c/IMG_0670.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081848798950193241.post-6656590493416754650</id><published>2008-12-28T21:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-28T21:09:21.276-08:00</updated><title type='text'>guitar hero world tour</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MabaMd_gZqw/SVha1ImYusI/AAAAAAAAADo/lk6TLtlqTCA/s1600-h/roadblock_packaging.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MabaMd_gZqw/SVha1ImYusI/AAAAAAAAADo/lk6TLtlqTCA/s200/roadblock_packaging.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285074031607331522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas everyone.  Let's play some guitar hero!  Santa brought us this great game and we have been rocking out to it ever since!  It is so much fun to play with the drums and the guitar and sing!  It's also really funny how we can all sit around and watch everyone else play the game.  It think that it is hypnotizing watching the chords on the tv.......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5081848798950193241-6656590493416754650?l=aprilandcolby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aprilandcolby.blogspot.com/feeds/6656590493416754650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5081848798950193241&amp;postID=6656590493416754650' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5081848798950193241/posts/default/6656590493416754650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5081848798950193241/posts/default/6656590493416754650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aprilandcolby.blogspot.com/2008/12/guitar-hear-world-tour.html' title='guitar hero world tour'/><author><name>April</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MabaMd_gZqw/TG9NHX2mYII/AAAAAAAAALA/_4F_as6iGtc/S220/0804001631.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MabaMd_gZqw/SVha1ImYusI/AAAAAAAAADo/lk6TLtlqTCA/s72-c/roadblock_packaging.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081848798950193241.post-5356360656194758147</id><published>2008-12-22T17:27:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-22T18:27:17.111-08:00</updated><title type='text'>keeli bug</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MabaMd_gZqw/SVA-eLKg4qI/AAAAAAAAADg/wycfC6u0cTY/s1600-h/000_0010.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MabaMd_gZqw/SVA-eLKg4qI/AAAAAAAAADg/wycfC6u0cTY/s320/000_0010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282791051019477666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a photo I found of Keeli.
