How Top Gear Has Changed Our Lives...



If any of you has ever loved, liked or use a car, Top Gear is going to be a must "netflix" for you.  Now, History Channel has just recently come out with a "Top Gear" show but do not be fooled.  It is just an bad impersonation of the real deal.  the UK has created a show so wonderful it is our new dinner, nightly ritual.  Somehow, Top Gear has unleashed Gunnar & I's inner lust for muscle cars, super cars and ridiculous english humor.  I have always leaned toward having 'car infatuation' BUT this brings me to a whole new level.  AND for Gunnar who thought people who slammed on the gas real hard were just doing just to be jerkish and beat him off the line, has had his eyes opened for the first time and realized, no not jerkish, they just like their car... 

What Top Gear has also done is caused me to be accident prone and a real target for the local police who like to hide out and clock me. Accident prone because, if I see an Audi, Porsche, Corvette, Challenger, Mercedes or a BMW I immediately focus my attention to find out what kind it is, how it would be like to drive one of them and how fast I could go in it.  I now have mini heart palpitations every time I see a Police car I have to slow down because I am driving my Tahoe like I would be driving a Bugatti Veryon. 


What I have also found is my Super Car Preference.  As it turns out, I am not really a Porsche or a Aston Martin fan.  I know they can be fast and are luxurious and all but, I prefer cars like the Audi Q5 and the Challenger.  Well any Audi really...
My mommie dream car. 

If I could choose ANY car for Gunnar, This would undeniably be it.



So, if you have a hankering for super cars, or any type of cars really Top Gear can always feed your inner car beast.  Unfortunately this new found hobby of our is completely and utterly wasteful, at least until we are rich and famous right?

A Bergeson Christmas



I know I am a little late for this but, with no further adieu... This was our Christmas in a nutshell.  I apologize for all the pics, I swear I sifted through them! 

These next few pictures we used for our Christmas card, we took them willy-nilly while we were on one of our almost daily walks

It is rare you find a serene Britta.







Handsome Jack-Jack 

This is MY LIFE in a nutshell....







It snowed overnight and then was mostly gone by the next day, we made the most of it!



She loved the snow! 


She couldn't resist...



Bethany was pretty happy about the snow :) 

One of my favorite pix



She loves Casey rides :) 


The one day I didn't do her hair, it makes her look so much older 




Shelby, in one of her happier moments at Christmas at the Cabin 


The "Baby Jesus" -
well she is the closest "baby" that we have

My mom wanted all the kiddos to open their gifts from them before Christmas morning,
the train was a absolute HIT!

This picture describes the entire Christmas Morning. 


We couldn't have enjoyed it without these people!
Love ya mom & dad!
Christmas wouldn't be the same without the cabin!



We had a wonderfundle Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We are so looking forward to the next memory filled year!
