James calls this his 'Blue Giraffe' - even though it's obviously PINK!
The thing looks like it's been skinned!!!

Trying Something New
So, Tim and I have been shopping for 'art' - we desperately need some color to decorate our walls.
Well, while we're checking out different web sites, I thought to myself, "Wow . . . some of these pieces just look like abstract pictures of things around the house" . . . so, I thought that I would try taking some close-ups of some random things around our house . . . here they are (guess what they are!)

Things NOT to say in public
Peter - "Dad . . . beat Mom!"
Dad - "What?!?!?"
Peter - "BEAT Mom!"
Mom - "Excuse ME?"
Peter - "You know, like in a race!"
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Peter - "Look! There' a big fat man!" . . . . this is a hard one. He was technically telling the truth, you know. So, I guess we'll be learning more about MANNERS!
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Peter - "Um, Grandma . . . . I can't wash my hands . . your sink is kind of dirty"
(which actually was lime built up just around the tip of the bottom of the sink - honestly . . . this one was, I guess you could call, my little 'guilty pleasure' - my mom is the 'clean queen' . . so, for him to think that THAT was 'dirt', kind of made my day - OF COURSE, I didn't tell HIM that!)

Rottenness . . . pure rottenness.
James kept saying "Tiom, Tiom . . . " when he wanted something. Tim and I kept scratching our heads trying to figure out what he was trying to say.
We finally figured it out.
Here's THAT conversation . . . .
James: Tiom . . . . Tiom
Tim: James!!!! MY name is DADDY! You may NOT call me TIM!
Funny Quote #152
Peter and Daddy played on the wii last evening, while I spent a couple of hours catching up with a good friend at a coffee shop. I came home after bedtime, so Tim brushed their teeth, PJed them up and read them their bedtime story all before I got home. Tim told me about how much fun he and Peter had playing the wii resort together and how good Peter was doing on the game.
That next morning, during breakfast, I said to Peter, "So, Pete, Dad told me how much fun you guys had playing on the wii . . . Daddy said you're doing really well!"
Peter responded, "(sigh) Yea, we did . . .. but, it's a long story . . . we'll talk about it later"

Special Memories
James' BIG gift this year:
Daddy put this horsy together - it took a long time, but it was well worth the wait. James did not get off of this horse for the first 2 hours of getting it! He absolutely ADORES this thing!
James' RE-GIFT:
Tim and I decided this year, that we were going to re-gift at least one toy for James. Seeing as he is still pretty young, and that he is starting to enjoy all of the same things that Peter does, we wanted to give him a toy that Peter 'outgrew' - something JUST for James to play with. It was PERFECT!
Peter's Lego's:
This year was the first year Tim and I have even ALLOWED small lego's in the house - with a 2 year old that eats EVERYTHING, we wanted to wait until the right time. Peter has such a great imagination and loves to build things, so this really was the perfect gift to give him this year.
Our Christmas Tree:
Tim is famous for the obscene about of lights he puts on our real tree's every year. And, this year - was NO exception! I think we started a new tradition this year too - Tim asked Peter to help him strand all of the lights on the tree - instead of using my help. I made some popcorn and Tim let Peter stay up extra late with him until they were all up! Peter really felt special being the 'chosen' one for such a large task!
Our Cards from Friends & Family:
Tim and I like to display all of the pretty Christmas cards that we get each year. We actually received more than what's shown - in fact, our hallway door is almost covered from top to bottom with Christmas cards - it sure is an easy way to decorate the hallway!!!
Christmas Breakfast!
When Patrick and Catherine come out to visit during Christmas, I get to make a big breakfast for everyone each morning. Here are some pictures of the table each morning. . .
And, what's Christmas Breakfast without COOKIES & CANDY!?!?
