Shake Your Booty!


I pulled out all of my Christmas decorations yesterday and it was so fun putting them around my house. Last year we had just moved in a week before Christmas so I did not put all my decorations out. I was lucky to have most all the boxes put away. As I looked over my decorations this year trying to figure out what I was going to put were I saw one of my snowman that my mother in law gave me last year. It is one of those little characters that sing and dance and sometimes the songs are a little obnoxious but so cute you have to at least have one. I forgot the song and dance that this little snowman does. I almost didn't put him up because i couldn't figure out a spot for him to go and I thought no one will miss him this year. Well this morning Brookie woke me up bright and early and sure was fussy. I tried every dang toy in the house to make her happy and then came across that snowman. Maybe she would like to see him sing and dance. So, I put new batteries in him and pushed the button. Bingo that was it, she was so enthralled watching him sing and dance. As I listened to the song it brought back a sweet memory of Kamber. Last year Kamber loved the snowman. He sings the song Shake Your Groove thing and wiggles his booty around. Kamber thought it said shake your booty, shake your booty yeah, yeah! So she would push the button and sing Shake Your Booty, Shake Your Booty, Shake Your Booty, over and over as she really shook her booty. We would just sit and laugh and the more we would laugh the more she would do it. I forgot that little memory of her. Oh, we love and miss that little girl so much. It is hard not to see her do funny things to make us laugh, but I am sure she had something to do with reminding us of this toy that wasn't so important to me this year but how fun it was to her. Now that snowman has a special place in our home!
