Amelia and I have been listening to the Chipmunks Christmas on vinyl for about 3 days now. It was my favorite as a child, and my mom scored a copy in mint condition at a yard sale for 50 cents! Amelia has recently learned about Santa,  presents, snow, and snowmen,  and should be able to sing every song on this record in time for Christmas Day.</p>http://modernmommy.tumblr.com/post/234570943http://modernmommy.tumblr.com/post/234570943Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:46:56 -0500chipmunkschristmas<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksnw0gQKsU1qz9235o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Say hello to my little bean.
