While at Dave's parents Arden was able to spend some time with her cousins Ella and Luke. Grammy has an Elmo doll that does the hokey pokey. The first time that Arden saw it she was very scared. She can running to either me or Janet and wanted to be held.
When Ella and Luke arrived she watched them playing with Elmo and decided to join in to learn what it's all about out. She would dance by bouncing her knees and shaking her hands. She never quite got the idea of turning around but really enjoyed playing with Ella, Luke and Elmo. By the end of our trip Arden was doing the hokey pokey all by herself.
Watching the kids have a great time together is a great Christmas memory. All three of them together running through the house enjoying life. That's what we as adults need to learn to do...enjoy life. We are to live in freedom because Jesus made the way for us to be free. Look at the simple things, soak them in, and treasure them because that's what it's all about.
