I asked Josh for help on the holiday poem. His started off something like this:

“Jingle bells ringing while puppy dogs itch,

Kizzie is in the back room being a witch…”

Anyway, needless to say, I took over. The Holidays are a

magical time in the Weston house, so many cheerful voices

and happy puppies – at least that’s what I am going to read

into the shouting and jingle bells.

Hope you enjoy the censored version of our Holiday story,

and feel free to drop by anytime. The rum is always buttered

and the cookies haven’t gotten stale yet!

Much love,

Josh, Liv, Halle, Kiz, Nat and Aspen (and Truck, Emmy, Dagny and Rascal)

PS: Be warned, it's terrible.

My Favorite Every-Things

(you know the tune)

Football on TV and soup in the crockpot

Dogs dressed like reindeer and

Movies with weak plots

Blubbery teenagers locked in their rooms

These are the things that cause parental swoons

3^rd grader homework and 12 year old cello

Tuba sounds echo from attic to cellar

Backpacks with contraband high heeled shoes

This is why mom and dad feel abused

We have four girls

And three weird dogs One ridiculous bunny

Who thought that this was a brilliant idea?

It’s nothing short of funny

Girls all get moody and puppies like chewing

Rabbits don’t potty train

Carpets gets ruined

Nine year olds seldom take showers at will

Kizzie is lucky if she don’t get killed

Halle’s skiing

Aspen’s dancing

Josh is hiding downstairs

Truck he just sleeps all the day long and night

And Emmy is losing her hair

Kizzie takes pictures

Aspen takes long walks

Natalee plays with the rabbit and dogs

Even with trouble the kids get straight A’s

This means that somehow their parents are great?

Josh and Liv take turns working and whining

The bills are all paid

So there’s really no pining

Natalee plans to make all of us rich

Being a track star and concert cellist

Liv is shopping

Josh is cursing

All the girls do their chores (mostly)

If we survive through at least one more month

We’ll party on Waikiki shores!
