Wish we could live on love.....

I like this song:

If I could make a livin' outta lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a livin' outta lovin' you.

I don't want Chris to go to work............EVER!

I am so thankful he gets such nice breaks from his job. I got to have him for a week at Thanksgiving and still going on two weeks for Christmas and New Year's. Things are so much easier with him home. I told my doctor I need a note for him to stay home. Maybe it's because....well no, for sure it is....I am extra emotional about it this year because I am about to have a baby, but I just wish he could be here all the time. Connie start kicking my butt hard to get busy on writing with you.

Update

We had such a fun Christmas. I loved watching Mckenzee open her presents. Santa brought her a kitchen and she loves it. Chris did a great job on my gifts....everything I wanted. I surprised him with an iphone....that he can't really have until February when our cell phone contract runs out and my parents got us a new video camera that's way cool. I will post about Christmas soon, but I can't allow myself to do so until I post these two things:

• The last post of San Antonio....I know forever old, but I want it for my record
• Our week of Thanksgiving

I don't think I will make this family blog private afterall, but I will make the baby riley one private so you may be getting an e-mail about that soon. I haven't done it yet out of pure laziness. We have one more family Christmas to go to today. It is my dad's side of the family. I better be on my "A" game for that. It's fierce. So many games!

First Day of Dance Class

Today Mckenzee went to her trial dance class. She did pretty well and had a great time. I tried and tried to get a good picture of her and finally bribed her with a dollar. That's why she has a dollar in this picture. The other pictures I took are a little blurry and I just could not figure out why and then after we left it dawned on me that my lens might be dirty and sure enough...all smudged. I may be able to improve them in photshop a little.

Mckenzee's First Performance!

Mckenzee made her first stage appearance on Friday night. She has been going to a music and movement class, once a week, since the summer, called Wiggles 'N Tunes. We love it. The kids are 2-4 year olds and the class is 30 minutes long. They get to dance and play instruments. They learn hand movements to songs and the teacher teaches them about tempo and rhythm patterns. Mckenzee has had so much fun going and it has also been a great prerequisite for dance class. Friday night the class performed at the lighting of the Christmas tree here in town. Each child had a colored bell and they were to ring it when they saw their color on the card the teacher was holding up and they held it quiet against their chest when their color was not up. There was background music playing during this. At first I thought the kids would not be able to get it, but they did so well. We were so proud of our little bell ringer! We did take a video of the performance, but it is too large of a file for me to post it so you just get pictures.

Chris' Christmas Party

I have SOOOO much blogging to do to catch up, but for now here's this. This is the picture my mom took before we went to Chris' work party. We had a good time. We played Texas Hold 'Em most of the night and won around $85,000...fake money of course. We got to turn our money in for tickets for prizes and we got 17 tickets, but we didn't win anything. we had a good time though. The food was good and I met a lot of people Chris worked with. It was a nice party.
