Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
We had a great time here in Ohio for Christmas. Hattie got an
American Doll wooden trunk from Santa to hold all of her dresses.
Marin got princess play clothes and Maxwell got a fun toy.
The adults got their favorite childhood cereal. I got Cocoa Krispies,
Neal got Captain Crunch, Melissa got Trix, and Morgan got Corn Puffs.
Santa came through on all wishes. We had a fun time and we are all on a sugar high.

Why do I call my blog "Laura's Lies"?

Beyond Odd!

Neal and I had this picture taken at the Oregon Acquarium. I love the caption, " Beyond Odd". This is how I feel at times.
I can remember when what people thought was really important to me. My mother-in-law, Bette, said that she was very conservative when she was younger, as well. She dressed conservative, was conservative, and worried about what others might think. But, as she got older she decided that she could wear bright red if she wanted, wear an aloha dress and feel great, and she could totally be herself. I loved her so much for sharing this with me. I didn't get it, but I loved her. Now, I get it. I wear matching shirts with Neal, which really bugs our kids, especially if it has Disney on it. I found that aloha shirts are fun. I am comfortable with who I have become and I am happy about it. Neal has made this transformation along with me, so, now we are together and a little "Beyond Odd!"
