Last Christmas....

Thinking back to last Christmas,

there is one memory that

still makes me laugh.

It was when Santa

(AKA Uncle Marc)

lost his pants.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing my kids laugh.
And would you just look at Bryant and Dawson's faces!!
I love it!

 We love Uncle Marc and enjoy his company very much. I'm just not sure he's the best Santa ever. He finds a gift for himself and then thinks his Santa duties are over.

It's cute. and fun.

And my kids LOVE their uncle very much. 

Today's video is all about

Last Christmas.

And it's

Cascada.

So ummm.. get ready to dance a little.

Dear My Blog Readers (especially the youngish ones),

Mind your heart. Don't give it away so easily. It's a bummer when it gets broken. Wait until you find someone special.

Love,

This one if for my mom.

Today's video is dedicated to

My Mom.

My mom is pretty dang cool.

I think she's kinda a rocker and I think she'll always be that way.

In fact she told me just the other day that her new favorite song is by

Linkin Park.

I was only a little bit surprised.

But anyway she goes to see

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

every single year.

Never misses.

So for today when you watch this one,

think of my mom or perhaps yours.

Oh and, with some help from my good friend

Char and Emilee and Jarret, my house is now decorated. And I am so relieved. That is hard stuff to put up all those decorations.

Dear Mom,

I am glad you are a rocker. I'll never forget when I first realized that! You running through the house "jumping" to Van Halen's "Jump". It's a good memory. I wish I could see ya do it now, I bet we'd both laugh so hard we'd.....you know. I love you.

Love,

Winter Moon

It's cold out there!

I was thinking that while I'm inside busy decorating I would listen to my favorite

Mindy Gledhill

and her Winter Moon CD.

I just got it from the mailbox this morning.

But SAD...the CD was cracked.

I don't know what happened,

perhaps it was the postal service.

Yes, I'm just sure it was a postal service accident. But still I am sad and cannot enjoy her lovely CD today.

So today for my for my

Christmas song video

I am posting the fabulous

Mindy Gledhill's

Winter Moon.

Enjoy..

Dear Mindy,

You are dang cute! Plus you are dang talented! I love your lyrics as much as I love chocolate. I hope your Christmas is more than amazing.

Love,

Last night and tonight

Last night I went to a birthday party for a good friend from work. It was a nice party where he asked people to get all dressed up and such. Everyone there looked lovely in their fancy suits and pretty dresses. I wore a very modest outfit that required a smooth underneath. A smooth underneath is achieved in a very uncomfortable way...SPANX!

And oh my gosh ya'll!! I could barely breathe. And going to the bathroom, well that was near impossible! Those things are TIGHT! And by TIGHT, I mean really really TIGHT! When I got home and got into my PJs I felt like Mr. Incredible exploding out of his suit.

This morning my family brought up all the *Christmas*

decorations from the crawl space.

It's time to decorate!!

I'm excited.

Also tonight my Alyson gets to go to

Temple Square

to look at the Christmas lights and attend the Christmas devotional.

I am jealous.

And since my Alyson is going to Temple Square and is going to hear "The Choir" I thought for today's video we'd enjoy a song from a previous years devotional.

Dear Alyson,
Have fun tonight! Love every opportunity that you get to go to Temple Square. I love that place. While you're there enjoy the music and dream of playing your viola with the orchestra.
Love,

Dear Spanx,
Thanks for the smoothness!

i'm a little embarrassed.

Here I am confessing I like Justin Beiber's

Mistletoe

it's a cute little song and it kinda makes me want to hang out under the mistletoe with

Mike!

By the way...

I searched Shawty on Urban Dictionary.

I thought it wasn't a good thing

and I couldn't figure out why someone would want

to hang out under the mistletoe with

something/someone that wasn't good.

But a Shawty is actually a good thing to be called.

The first definition was:

A fine a-- woman or girl.

I laughed out loud.

Dear Justin,

Thanks for such a cute little song. I love it. And also you are one lucky boy/man to have that adorable (Shawty) Selena Gomez hanging on your arm.

Love,

CoRi dAwN

It's 2 pm and I'm.....

Sitting in my PJ's still.

Dang.

And since I am still in my PJ's

I feel like I need to shake myself up a little bit and to help me shake it up

I am going to watch this video.

And I think I'm going to try and post a new

Video every single day this month.

I'll probably fail. But I'm going to try anyway.

Dear Train,

Love the song and the video! Thanks for helping me "Shake it Up"!

Love,

Blog blog bloggity blog....what do I blog about today?

Do you want to know how I was with a patient this week while she went to heaven?

It was (and is) special for me to be by someones side when they move on.

I don't love it but I do feel honored.

Or

Do you want to know about the middle school-ers in my life and how they messed up this week??

I don't want to embarrass or humiliate anyone so I'll just say I think 7th and 8th graders have lots of growing up to do. And until they do it's gonna be stressful.

Or perhaps...

I should just remind all ya'll that's it's

December!!

I love this month!

The thoughts, the smells, the lights,

and of course family.

Dear December,

You might be my favorite. I am happy when it's your turn. I wish it was December until March and that we could skip January and February altogether.

Love,
