Sweet Memories

There are so many nights in our house that revolve around music and I LOVE it! While Alex napped yesterday, I made myself some hot chocolate, wrapped presents and got caught up on a bunch of recorded shows. Before she woke up, I turned the TV off and put on some music. When I went in to get her up, she had a HUGE smile on her face and said, "Mommy, it's the Nutcracker, let's dance!!!" We danced around the living room for a bit, then she curled up on the couch with a few books and looked through them while we listened to Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. When Josh got home, we played, had dinner then danced around the living room while Josh played Christmas carols. Alex can sing along to Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Jingle Bell Rock, and Last Christmas (you know the cheesy Wham! song?!) In the midst of our dancing and singing and just sat and watched Alex twirl around to the music Josh was playing and knew I wanted to remember that sweet moment forever!

Piano Man

Alex absolutely loves when Josh plays the piano for her. If she is cranky or upset, a little tune can instantly change her mood. Sometimes she dances around the room like a wild child other times she likes to sit on the bench and help him play. I could just sit and watch them play and laugh forever.
