Man, I am so stoked for the holidays. Like, all of the super cliche parts of it too, they’re like, totally the best part of Christmas.

I am so so glad I’m not alone! I thin the cheesy and cliché parts of the holidays are what make it the most magical! Have you done any decorating yet? Or done any shopping? I know I already went crazy with decorations.

Well, I can say with certainty that Haisley has enjoyed every second of her lessons since joining, and I have been judge to many practices at home, so if the rest of your students are anything like her, no doubt they’ll have some amazing ideas lined up to showcase.

That just makes me so happy to hear! It is so wonderful to have her in the classes, she is just a natural when it comes to dancing. You know I use to do the same thing when I was her age, I put on many performances for my family. They truly do though, I might have a hard time making decisions and make the showcase longer just so everyone can show off their talents.

I might be excited for the holidays but keeping it on the down low because I don’t know what I want to do for decoration. I was thinking about a small family dinner, though, unless you want to surprise the folks. 

Keep it on the downlow? However do you do that? Because I feel like I just want to go over the top all the time! I even decorated the dance studio. I would love that though, both of them. I think they would love for us to surprise them don’t you think?

Still not over you not allowing me to use “my” senior discount, Red. 

When did I say that? You know I would always let you have private lessons if you wanted it!

I certainly think that as well. I try to instill in my daughter that the little moments are just as important as the big moments. Right, it certainly feel like the fairy tale romance moments happen just in story books and movies, but more often than not they can happen in real life as well. Love is so beautiful and amazing. It makes me wish I had someone to love romantically. That’s sweet. Never let him go.

That is so amazing that you do that, she sounds like such a lucky little girl. I would only rarely hear stories of amazing things like that happening in real life. Like I never thought that I could be lucky enough for it to happen to me. But now I wish everyone could experience it. Is there anything I could do to help? I think I could play a pretty great matchmaker! I won’t he is certainly stuck with me forever now.

MICAH: I'm glad they were amazing!

MICAH: I do have a secret recipe, but the extra ingredient is friendship.

JACKIE: Oh my gosh I could have never guessed but that is obviously what made it amazing!

JACKIE: Do you have any plans to do some baking with the holidays coming up?

[gradianjackie]

It’s the time of year for recitals for my classes and I don’t think I’ll ever get over how much my students tug at my heart strings. Just getting to watch them from the beginning to now deciding what they’d like to perform is amazing. I just feel so lucky to be their teacher. How is everyone else doing though? Excited for the holidays? 

[patrick-stclarington]

I have decided that I will be decorating Jackie and I’s place for Christmas this year. Quick question: how many decorations is too many?

[gradianjackie]

You are? Oh babe you are too sweet! In my eyes there could never be enough decorations when it comes to Christmas!

MICAH: Okay! I'm glad it's a good thing. :)

MICAH: It's not necessary. I'm just happy to be sharing with you!

JACKIE: The cookies were amazing! It is like something special was in them!

JACKIE: Do you have any special recipe?

TEXT 📲 PATRICK & JACKIE

Patrick: Maybe we should be giving other people food? Maybe we missed a memo about it.

Patrick: I'll take every extra second I get to spend in your amazing company 😘

Jackie: You know maybe we do! I think we've been getting a lot of practice bringing food to the station why not share it with everyone?

Jackie: If only there were more seconds in a day! I need extra seconds for every single thing like kisses, hugs and cuddles!

[gradianjackie]

TEXT 📲 JACKIE & ASHER

Asher: It's the worst! Sometimes I almost don't want to go to work and just stay home and cuddle Buddy instead.

Asher: Yeah, we're just hanging out the moment and seeing how things go. If things look like they might move further, we'll have to discuss it beforehand to try and protect everyone involved.

Jackie: I swear along with sick days and vacation days there should be extra hours for cuddles!

Jackie: Well I think it is amazing that you guys are thinking so maturely about everything! It just shows how much you guys care.

[gradianjackie]

micahrileyvincentberry​:

It is. I wish I could do that, too. Even just sending a text telling someone I’m proud that they got out of bed this morning is something I’d love to do. The little things I see as little victories and little inspirations. I love it! Exactly. I love that they come when you need it. All in their timing, of course. It’s awesome. I, too, am in love with love and the idea of being loved. True! Violet is the light of my life, so it’s always a reason to celebrate. Oh yes, the cuddling weather is the best!

That is just beautiful, people deserve those reminders as often as possible. They need to know how important and valuable they are. Those little moments are some of the most important! I just never thought that those were things that happened in real life you know? Amazing things like that happening almost makes you feel like you are in a movie or fairytale. Ugh it is just amazing isn’t it? Love is such a beautiful thing! That is so sweet! Isn’t it? I swear sometimes I don’t want to let Patrick go.

micahrileyvincentberry​:

You’re never alone in excitement. I’m always excited when good or exciting things happen to my friends! I am sure it will happen when I least expect it, because that seems to be when the best relationships are made like you and Patrick. That’s so romantic. I love that for you! I do love fall. It’s one of my favorite seasons because my Violet’s birthday is in November. I love the summer, too, but with the falling leaves and all the celebration and the sweater weather; fall is the best for me.

It is the best thing isn’t it? I wish I could just celebrate each and every accomplishment of all of my friends and family. Even just the little things that seem so simple. I totally agree! I feel like those ones are just a different kind of special. They come when you need it even if you don’t think you do. Thank you! I just can’t help but love, love. Oh gosh gracious well you give so many great points to love that season! I feel like the birthday alone is enough of a reason for it to be your favorite! The sweater weather is amazing though, I love how it encourages cuddling.

MICAH: Is that a good thing?

MICAH: No need to repay me. :)

JACKIE: A great thing! It means you are making my heart happy.

JACKIE: Are you sure? I could even try to bake for you guys!

[gradianjackie]

micahrileyvincentberry​:

I do, too, which is why it took me so long to get everything organized. I hope one day I’ll feel that wonderful feeling again. Have they? That is very sweet of the celebrations to wait for me to arrive. Of course, I came here just in time for my favourite season as well. 

I am so glad I’m not alone with that excitement! Oh I am sure that you will, Micah. I thought for the longest time I didn’t deserve someone as wonderful as Patrick. And before I know it he just popped into my life. It felt like I was meant to find him. Well that has to be the case! Oh you love fall too? It is just the best isn’t it! Although summer would have to be my absolute favorite.

MICAH: I try.

MICAH: You deserve to be spoiled!

JACKIE: Ah!! You're tugging at my heart strings!

JACKIE: There must be some way I can thank you!

asher-mccarthy​:

Yeah, exactly. If I worked the 9-5, I’d be confused if I ever had to work at night but because my days and nights can both be a work day, it just becomes normal for me to work whenever. You would do that? Wow, I mean, that would be amazing! It’s nice to go out to eat in the middle of the afternoon too because most places are quiet and empty because everyone else is at work.

That is a good point! At least it is your normal though and if it works it works! Of course I would! I’m already out, and it would be worth it to drop off coffee! It is very much deserved when you work late shifts. You know that is a very good point! It seems like when you do you get to really relax and enjoy yourself. There is nothing wrong with the evening, but it just has a different energy.
