That time again...

I got the message loud and clear...so here's your dose.

Jake and Brady are still the coolest kids in the Universe. I would say in any Universe, but that would be blatant braggery.

Ok, so I left off before Turkey Day. It was good times, what can I say? We get to go eat fabulous food for free at two houses. Rock on. The boys had a great day. Jake ended up eating, I believe, 9 pieces of pumpkin pie. You would think his ticket would be punched for the rest of the year on the stuff, but no..he still asks for it.

Which brings us to..Christmas time. The boys are old enough now to really appreciate what is coming at them this weekend. I think they are getting the point about it really being about Jesus, but who know's? Children can be the greatest manipulators so maybe they just play along to entertain us. "Yeah, yeah..Happy Birthday Jesus, God is great, that Mary, what a gal...now how about those toys?" Either way, they are sweet as heck right now and I'm savoring the flavor.

Oh yeah, on a silly note, the boys have somehow decided the Wizard of Oz is the greatest movie of all time. The scary thing is, the more I watch it the more I agree with them. The movie was made in 1938 and the special effects are better than some "blockbusters" they try and force feed us these days. Furthermore, if you don't fall out laughing when the Lullaby League/Lollipop Guild hit the screen, dial 911 because your heart isn't beating. The dudes have every line in the movie memorized now. Jake can do the Scarecrow and Tin Man dances perfectly. Brady's little nasally voice crooning all the tunes is pure comedy. I can bust out a pretty good Cowardly Lion myself. Good times...

I'll get some pictures put up in a few days. In the meantime, have a great Christmas or whatever reason you have for spending time with those you love. If you can't be with the ones you love, remember all those cherished times when you were with them. Failing that, there's always eggnog. Cherish the eggnog.
