Thanksgiving Fun

Finally getting around to posting some more holiday fun and frivolity.

The girls always have so much fun at Jeremy's parents' house.  There is so much room to run around with their cousins and just be kids.  My brother-in-law Steve borrowed a friend's 4-wheeler this year, and very generously he and my sister-in-law, Tricia, gave all the kids endless rides while I sat inside and read a book.  Did I mention that I love vacations at the in-laws, too?!?!?

Here is a snippet of one such 4 wheeler ride, in two parts.

Yes, you are correct, the children are sitting on pillows, strapped in with bungee cords.  If that concerns you, too bad.  These are not your children. 

See, Steve is a very safe driver.  

Christmas

I had a million things to do last night (including taking down the tree), but instead I decided to play around with Windows Movie Maker.  I thought it would be fun to put all the pictures together that the girls took.  I always love seeing what's on the camera after they have had a turn with it.  I will try to post some more Christmas pictures soon, and I also told my nieces that I would post their web show "Cooking Cousins" that they made at Thanksgiving.  I must do that.

So, anyway, here is the link for the video of Olivia reading "In the Bleak Midwinter" at church as well as the Christmas pictures Harper Lee and Olivia took.

Does anyone know how to change the volume of the background music at different points during the video using Movie Maker?  (You'll find out why I'm asking in just a sec.)
