Looks like this Christmas season will be more of the same -- just double. At least this year we've had the good sense to enlist a recording of James Taylor (frequently on repeat) on the iPod, rather than singing Deck the Halls until we grow hoarse. (We occasionally switch out for Bing Crosby.)
When the song began, Madeline yelled, "My favorite!" and Kathleen cheered, "It's my song!" And then it looked like this:
(Feel free to stop watching before the end... the dancing sort of peters out and I couldn't be bothered to edit the clip.)
Thanks to months of dance classes, Kathleen's dancing has a bit more variety this year. Madeline seems to have adopted the spinning that her sister favored last year. What's the same, though, is their love for dancing to that specific song. Once the girls hear Deck the Halls come up on the (lengthy!) playlist of Christmas carols, they ask for it again and again and again and again. We can't resist their dancing (or their glee), so we generally indulge them.
But you can be certain that no grown up who lives here will be asking to listen to "Deck the Halls" anytime soon.

I love it! i wish our girls could have a Christmas carol extravaganza. Anna's latest favorites are Jingle Bells and Away in a Manger.
That is great! Josh won't let me sign Zeke up for dance lessons. I can't figure out why. :) Your girls are fabulous, by the way.
