Robertson Christmas

Yesterday, we packed up the van early in the morning and started our trip to Aunt Katie's house!  Thankfully, the kiddos all did great on the trip - good thinking on the DVD players, Santa!

GG's first time meeting Julianne

This morning, Daddy was playing airplane with the older kiddos.  After breakfast while everyone was finishing getting ready, they wanted to fly again, so Pa-paw volunteered to take them up.

Finally, it was time to start opening presents, but first...yep, Momma had to get a picture!

I was able to take more pictures today because Ma-maw "volunteered" to hold Julianne.  Good thing Dallas and Reba were very willing to help others open their presents!

Have you seen this commercial?
Aunt Katie introduced Doug to it at Thanksgiving, and he, of course, loved it!  Therefore, Kate and Brian thought Doug needed this shirt...

Us girls went together and got this family birthday and anniversary wall hanging for Granny.  Each round "charm" contains a family members name and date of birth and hangs from the respective month.  The heart-shaped "charms" have anniversary dates.

Meanwhile, Pa-paw and Reba worked on a puzzle together!

Until next time...

Super Bowl - The Year of the Farmer

This year, I was watching the Super Bowl mainly for the commercials since my favorite team was not playing.  I was disappointed at half-time when there had not even been one Budweiser Clydesdales commercial!  I mean, you can't have a Super Bowl without the famous Clydesdales!  Remember some of these past commercials?  Not long after posting about my disappointment on Facebook, I was rewarded with a beautiful commercial.  I guess it's true when people say, "Ask and you shall receive."

But, it was a commercial that aired shortly after the horses graced my television screen that stole the show.  And I do believe I am not along when I say it was the best commercial EVER.  And judging by the way my Facebook feed exploded with similar posts, I have a very strong leg to stand on when making that statement.  According to USA Today, it was the 3rd most popular commercial (behind the Clydesdales).

If you don't know which commercial I am talking about, watch this...

Thanks to Ram Trucks, the National FFA will earn up to $1 million in donation based upon the online views of the commercial.  Every view helps raise money (and awareness).  You can also visit www.RamTrucks.com/KeepPlowing and share a badge.

As many of you know, farming, agriculture, and FFA hold very dear places in my heart

I was so glad to see this commercial get such positive attention.  Even Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa talked about it this morning on LIVE!

Until next time...Thank you God for making a Farmer.
