Now Playing

Before Christmas, we (foolishly?) got PK into YouTube videos. It was an attempt to get her interested in Sesame Street, since both the hubby and I looooooooved Sesame Street growing up. (We still do. The old Sesame Street.)

Anyway, YouTube was an awesome discovery. It brought back a whole whackload of childhood memories for the hubby and me, plus we get to share them with Hannah. In the process, we've also discovered some new videos that are just as cool. I thought it would be fun to share some of PK's favorite videos. So without further ado, here we go!
