Once upon a time, a Mommy and Little Dude spent the night at their Big Dude's house so he could help if the Little Dude decided to have a scream-fest two nights in a row. PTL, he did not...

He did, however, have a major peepee accident...discovered around 5:30 am. So the Little Dude and the Mommy were transplanted to the couch... The Little Dude was not about it...but the Mommy fell back asleep for another two-ish hours...Ooops!

Then...that mommy woke up to a very undeserved treat!!

She opened her blinking eyes to a fully dressed Little Dude, with a Go-gurt in his hands.  She helped him open it and snuggled him while he ate every last drooly bite.  Then, when she was on her way downstairs to get her contact lenses, that incredible Big Dude pulled her to the dining room table... where there was a plate of delicious eggs, bacon & potatoes all scrambled together...and a biiiiig cup of coffee...just waiting...so beautifully...

"I LOVE YOU!" squealed the Mommy, as she wrapped her arms around the furry Big Dude's neck.
"I love YOU," the Big Dude replied.
"I can see that!" said the Mommy...as she sat down to her lovely and delicious breakfast.

:o)

Not only did the Big Dude take care of the Little Dude all morning...(after getting the least amount of sleep of any of us...). He also found it in his heart to make us all a fantastic breakfast to enjoy together at the table.

Everything

Me: What do you love about me?

Him: Everything

Me: Now that's not true...

Him: At the end of the day, it is.

Anniversary Date

Saturday morning, all three of us went out for an anniversary breakfast. 

Saturday night, just the adults went out... :-)

We pull into the Home Depot parking lot and I have no idea what's happening... I had already guessed dinner at Tilted Kilt & Taco Bell. 

"Oh ye of little faith," he said. "We, my dear, are recreating some of our first dates."

"What?! I love that!!" I said.

"Now, let's go buy some chains."

Chains at Home Depot. Laser Rifle Range at Cabela's (in lieu of the range at Bass Pro). Dinner at  Chili's. And duck pin bowling at Fun Squared on the turnpike. .... AND I gave him a run for his money at bowling...even beat him once. BAM.

Happy New Year!

"Did you want to kiss me last year?"

"I wanted to kiss you for the better part of a decade."

From last year to this year.... many, many kisses later...

Apart

While my guy was visiting "Greatmom" in VA....

...I miss you.
I miss you too.
Really? You're not just saying that?!
Really.
Aww... [big smile, a little teary...]
Awwwwww....

An Audio Christmas Card

Merry Christmas!!

Love,

Jennica, Elijah & Big Dude

Please ENJOY this extra special recording of "Mary, Did You Know" (click the link below). Big Dude used his phone to record while Elijah was in his arms. Note the banging cars... and the "Dada!" (sometimes Elijah calls me Dada). You'll hear the "Dada" from farther away later on... that's when Grammie took the phone.
