fa la la la la la la la la

Oh, how I love holiday music! It is even better when it is coming out of the mouths of cute kindergartners. Garrett had his winter performance tonight with all of his favorite friends.





























They looked so cute, all decked out in their Frosty the snowman hats. They sang their little hearts out & really added a bit of happiness to my December. I was so proud of Garrett for singing loud & "knocking our socks off". His teacher told the children that she had a treat for them if they could "knock our socks off" with their singing ability. Garrett kept coming home from school, prior to the performance, saying "I am going to knock your socks off". I love my 5 year old & am glad I finally figured out what he was talking about.

My top 40

I found this on another blog. I think it is a great "ALL ABOUT ME" topic to blog about. It will be fun to look back in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, etc... & see how my taste in music may have changed over the years. This top 40 list reminds me of this past year & the things I was into & loving. For example, this list reminds me that I saw WICKED for the first time this year. I saw it,fell in love with it, & then ran home & downloaded the whole soundtrack. This Top 40 list shows me that I am still enjoying a mix of music from my friend, Kinsey. She made me a CD of all the songs that would have made the cut if she were in charge of the Twilight soundtracks :-). Thanks Kins, I am still listening to those songs. This Top 40 list reminds me that I enjoy a wide range of music. This Top 40 list reminds me of how much I LOVE music. It is the soundtrack of my life.

I will document the next 40 RANDOM songs that pop up on my ipod and challenge you to do this on your blog...just for fun!

For this challenge, turn your entire ipod library on shuffle, push play and then push forward and that will be song #1 on your list!! Good times...just for fun!!! HAPPY LISTENING!!!
