Well, three of them since two are in Colorado…
The boys came over to play with Grandma & Poppa today.
We had a great time. I am so amazed at how much they change every time I see them. Zephan is speaking in complete sentences, Javan is gaining more command of words, and Eli is just… fatter.
Poppa held Eli most of the time. Somehow I think this guy is in love with his Poppa. And lookit those cheeks! Oh my oh my oh my… You just want to cuddle that fat little face!
What is it about this boy and his lips? He has the most adorable little lips. I’ve tried capturing a moment of Eli’s lips, but… they just aren’t the same as Javan’s. Javen is so… expressive.
We had a wonderful night. Grandma showed the boys her pitiful outdoor Christmas light display which to little eyes looks like all the magic of Christmas and then some. Grandpa discovered that some of the cheap yard sale toys had battery compartments so he opened them up and added batteries. Suddenly the lights and horns came on and Arwen threatened us with, “THOSE are toys that STAY at Grandma’s house!”
Well, of course they are! But I don’t understand why she decided to leave fifteen minutes and twenty million truck honks later.
Someone blamed Grandma for taking the honking trucks away.
He should blame the Grinch holding him.
Tell me that tear doesn’t break your heart?
Yeah, he’s already forgotten about the honking trucks with blinking lights. He’s got Mom’s shades on.
Why?
Because Grandma’s Christmas lights are just so bright, they might blind you…
I know. It’s pitiful. But imagine it through the eyes of a one and two year old and it’s the best Christmas light display EVER.
Which is why I love my boys…

I think the lights look great! Not as great as the cutie pie boys, of course!
Darling boys and those lights look pretty good to me. I have yet to convince David that our house way out in the country, completely invisible from the road, and with a very high roof needs Christmas lights. I do have a strand of white lights around the balcony which stay up year round but I do miss the completely lit up house we had in town (and only one story tall).
[…] I told you how this happened, you wouldn’t believe me. After Don “fixed” the little battery-operated toys in Zephan’s toy box here at the house (the ones […]
