Bowling with the Family

In the past, we had a tradition of going to a movie as a family for New Year's Day. It has had to change here and there for a few reasons. This year, it looked different because we couldn't all agree on a movie. Instead, we chose to go bowling. Since Eric and Noel both had to work on the 1st, we chose to go New Year's Eve. I don't know if everyone had fun, but I do know that I love any chance I get to be with all of my kids. I hope they never feel too old to hang out with Mom. 

Christmas Fun

Tonight, we went to a light show at Water World. I loved it, and Sean has even been talking about the e parts he liked. Chad drove through the show as we listened to the music as people would do at a drive in theater. It was fun to see the creativity as we watched Santa, elves, reindeer, and snowmen sing to us. I never thought I would pay to drive through a light show, but this was more than worth the $35 per car. 

When we got home, I had Sean take a picture of my sweater for the day and searched for a quote to pair with it for social media. All I could think of was the song from the Sesame Street Christmas special from when I was little (Mr. Hooper days). My mom loved this song because Bob taught the kids to sign it for Linda. My mom loved just about anything that involved sign language! 

“Keep Christmas with you

All through the year
When Christmas is over
You can keep it near
Think of this Christmas day
When Christmas is far away
Keep Christmas with you
All through the year
When Christmas is over
Save some Christmas cheer
These precious moments
Hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you
All through the year
Christmas means the spirit of giving
Peace and joy to you
The goodness of loving
The gladness of living;
These are Christmas too
So, keep Christmas with you
All through the year
When Christmas is over
Save some Christmas cheer
These precious moments
Hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you
All through the year.”
