My child... Jedidiah... has an EXTREME fascination with chriSTMAS lights. He has talked non-stop about them since the day after Thanksgiving when our neighbors put some out. The neighbors lights are (of course) right across the street out side of his bedroom. Jed has to say good night to them, notes every morning that the "Suns wake up... neighbors light off... dark outside... neighbors lights on"... All of this has been the absolute highlight of his December!
This fascination encouraged me to get Jed his very own tree to decorate and be "in charge of". He had his ornaments on it... and loved playing with it!
Great grandma reading a great book called "God Gave Us Christmas"... a must get for parents confused about how to explain the Santa-God portion of Christmas.
A tradition we started when Jed was born... the grandparents come over to pull out Jed's stable, and set up the scene of Jesus' birth.
(Bapa mooing like a cow...)
So happy about his lights despite a large face wound...
We really loved going for walks around candy cane lane... a short walk from Jesse's parents house... Jed the whole way... "ooh..." "aah".... "maybe over there..." "these ones over here..." "maybe over there..." So cute!
Jed and Austin admiring Oma's lights we briefly placed in their house.
We would even drive around and look at lights to kill time.
On one of our walks... I estimate we alkyd candy cane lane 15 times in December.
"Look! Baby Jesus!!!"
Oma and Opa gave the boys lights... they loved them!
