Dance Party

**Please pardon the video kick, but I just recently figured out how to post them correctly. . . thus, I'm addicted.

When Geoff is out of town on business, Annika and I keep ourselves occupied with "dance parties". Today, when she asked for one, I had to oblige. She dances without inhibition, just like I always dreamed of doing myself. She hears shouts of encouragement and lots of hand-clapping from me. We've been partaking in these DPs for a few months now, and until today I simply viewed them as a fun ritual.

However, please note that my daughter places her hands up in the air, looks toward our heavenly father, and says, "Praise you!" several times. It moved me, so I had to share it with you all.

(The song is Mary Mary's "Shackles", which is an absolute favorite in our household.)
