Christmas Routine Part Two – Check

As I was laying in bed awake around 3am, I came up with an idea that would send laughter around the Christmas tree.

Check it – part two!

Christmas Routine – Check

Growing up, all the cousins sang Christmas songs every year. Many of the songs were from the Sundance Kids. A dance group we all performed in for many years. Yes, even a show at Great America. This is one of my claim to fame stories.

Diana sent me this funny Elf Yourself link and I made one with all my nephews and niece. I sure am going to miss Christmas with you all. But if you could learn this routine, maybe we can perform it next year.

View the complete dance here. (only available till January 15th)

5 Things I am thankful for.

1. Family. I am thankful for all my family and friends. I can’t say enough about all the good childhood memories I have. I am so very thankful for my parents, Aunt Lynn and Uncle Chod for raising the families together and having so many wonderful traditions. I am thankful for all the things my parents did to provide a loving, caring home during all my years of growing up. I truly cherish all my memories. They make me smile from deep within and continue to fill my heart with love.

I am thankful for Jared, my wonderful husband and best friend for 16 years. With this great relationship I also get to join his family, whom I love dearly and enjoy making new traditions with them. Speaking of new things, I am very thankful for my little baby boy still growing strong in my belly.

2. Health. I am thankful for my health. I am grateful for having such a healthy and enjoyable pregnancy. I am thankful for my love of movement. I enjoy any sport or workout. I just love to move.

3. Job, Shelter and Food. I am thankful to have a job that pays the bills and allows me to live in a house and enjoy daily food. I am grateful for my animals and their unconditional love. I never have to come home to an empty house. There is always smiling faces glad to see me. I am thankful to have a warm and loving home.

4. Music. I am thankful for all the talented people out there that make my soul smile. It can take a frown and turn it up side down. Music makes me feel good. It makes me move and enjoy the moment.

5. Breath. I am thankful for breath. It seems so simple and a staple part of life, but that is just it. It is simple and is the force of life. I am thankful for those moments where breath brings you back to the present moment. Living in the moment and feeling life.

Pure Talent

The other night I came home to a message from my youngest nephew Josiah. He is 5 years old (will be 6 in January) and is in Kindergarten. I had to cut the message down a bit for size, but I am sharing the best part.

Josiah sang me a song that he made up while he was singing it and I love it. Pure talent I must say. I wonder if he is getting this wonderful talent from his Aunt Sheryl.

Thanks for your message Josiah, I love you too! You make me smile and feel loved. I enjoy watching you grow up and seeing your personality shine bright. "I love you the all."

Enjoy – I sure did.

Now Showing "Baby Dreams"

Had another baby dream last night. I was at my friend Kathi’s house and the baby needed changed. As I was carrying him to the changing table, with a half on diaper, a big pile of you know what hit the floor. I don’t know why the diaper was on half way, but it was. It was kind of a messy dream. Then the best part was I was kissing his chubby cheeks and telling him how his daddy couldn’t wait to kiss him there too. Jared and I always talk about how we can’t wait to kiss the neck and cheek areas.
