This Good Life

Blu told me that he wanted to do Christmas cards this year. What?!  So fun. Yes. So I told him that we definitely could make that happen on one condition... Blu agreed to the terms.  We kept the terms secret from Xander.  Then we fulfilled said terms. Results below: Yep. The terms agreed upon were that if we did a photoshoot, we would dress up in dinosaur costumes. It. was. so. fun. Xander had a blast!  We all did! In the pictures above, Blu is on the left, Xan is in the middle, I'm on the right.  And Macy is there somewhere, too, dressed as a velociraptor. We got some "normal" pictures, too.  :)  And we had as much fun taking all of these pictures as we will enjoy the pictures for years to come!  Thank you to Krystole Glover for doing a great job AND being will to do crazy with us!

I can't even believe Little Man is 11. When I first met him, he was 6 years old.  And he turned 11 in September... I've known Xander almost half of his entire life!  Cue the tears. I am so so proud of Xan in so many ways.  He is mature, he is smart.  He is curious and he loves to dig into the details of things.  He asks the BEST and most insightful questions of any young person I've ever met...  He's fun and always up for anything.  He's kind, especially to kids younger than himself.  He listens to the "whys" in life and soaks them in; I pray that is a trait that will lend him to making wise decisions in his life, rather than having an attitude simply having to following rules.  He loves waffles.  He loves dancing, particularly Fortnite dances. He was the hit entertainment at Goran and Heather's wedding.  :)  He reeeally hates mosquitoes!  He loves hot chocolate -- but milk-chocolate-hot-chocolate, nothing fancy pants...
