Mia Famiglia

There hasn't been any Letti Thursday since Grandad passed, but we the family still meets every Tuesday for Taco Tuesday, so we still see each other once a week, at least.

Last weekend, we celebrated Jim's birthday at Stephanie's house, and the whole family got yet another opportunity to get together and eat & hang out.

I think the little boy had the best time, playing with his cousins, upstairs :)

Snow!

It doesn't snow very much here, and so, to the little boy and I, it's a big deal when it finally does.

We got about an inch earlier in the month, and the little boy wanted to go out and make snow angels.

When he realised how little snow there was, he was still more than happy to just make happy tracks on the lawn :)

Winter Walks

We sometimes take a walk after/before dinner, down the road over to where the bend in the road is, and watch the sun set. It's quite the view.

Now that the weather is cold, we need to be bundled up for our walks. I got the little boy a supremely cute aviator style hat ( which isn't his favorite, though.... bleh ) and made him pose for mama. Heheh.

It's nice to see the boys bonding. The little boy loves his daddy "this much" and his daddy just adores him :)

This has got to be the picture that made me laugh out loud. It looks like they're doing some deadpan Nanu Nanu or Vulcan Salute or something :)

I wanted it to whisper "Here's Looking at You, Kid"

but I'm positive there would have been a lotta noise going on if I were to leave the head on our main dish :)
