Christmas 2014

 
-->
Raven, Raven, look where we are.
Look back, look back, at just how far.

Our lives are not changing as fast as they were.
For now we have more time to look up and conquer

Our spirits they soar to our little ones’ door.
Hoping they can come out to play.
Grabbing their bags
While holding them tight.
Making fun plans all through the night.

Our playgrounds are filled with trucks and cars
 Now we’ll be adding Barbie dolls.

Playing in the cabin.  Getting sand in our shoes,
I’m hot and sweaty? Yeah me too!

I want ice cream, to cool me down
Then we’ll have tea in the tree house and zip line to the ground.

Rylee, Clara, Landon, Taylor, and Holly with smiles that shine all around.
We have fish to feed,
Creeks to swim,
Along with our shadows following them

Our dogs will follow sometimes knocking us down.
They are our protectors from the snakes on the ground.

We’ll teach you to climb our favorite rock,  
We’ll look at our mountains and then hike to the top.

We may be slow, with our get up and go.
Just give us 10..We’ll make it by then.

Oh Tarbone, Oh Tarbone, as we lay under the stars
The stories are told with giggles from afar.

This is where we started so long ago
Embers around the campfire still aglow

 Oh Raven, Oh Raven, look where we are
Our hearts are young. Our spirits still soar.
