For the first time in I don't know how long, the whole family was together last night. And since it is so close to Christmas, what better way to take advantage of the time together than doing a little shopping and having a movie night!
So, Helaina, Rachael, Jake and I made a quick stop at the grocery store and then off to the liquor store to enjoy the bright lights and shiny bottles. Then it was back home, where we dimmed the lights and gathered around the TV to watch that feel-good holiday classic, "Drive". Within minutes, we were all under the spell of that old Hollywood magic- where we were whisked off to a simpler, happier time- and strapped into that sentimental roller coaster some call "Love".
We laughed together. We cried together. And in the end, lessons were learned- lessons about love, about life... and about the true meaning of Christmas!
Yes, it's moments like these that really brings a family together.
