One of my favorite memories from my trip to Alabama....
I was in the car driving with mom and we were talking about my favorite silly Christmas song, "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" and she said she hadn't heard it yet. I was reminded how last year she called into the radio station and dedicated it to me and had it play as I drove home from Anchorage where I worked. As the song playing ended and the next one started I started to giggle and laugh. That song was our song, and as we sang about hippo's and chimney floo's, I couldn't help but smile and look at mama. We were on our way to do a little Christmas shopping and as we got to the store and went down the christmas ornament aisle, what was there? A Hippo on skies! I just had to have it! So I bought it!! This year I got my very own "Hippopotamus" for Christmas!
