Have you had the experience of trying to get teenage boys to pose for a Christmas picture for their mom? Note the pictures above...see what I mean? All I wanted was 1 nice picture, in front of the tree, for the family album...but alas, it was not to be...not until I walked away annoyed. Then they felt badly, set the timer on the camera, and gave me what I wanted after all. Sigh....
The goofiness has been at an all time high, these days! Most of the time I crack up with them...sometimes I have to hold my laughs to scold, then laugh in private! LOL
We managed to get the tree up, though, it was a 2-3 day process, though! Back and forth from the storage space and finally, it was done! Phew! And Brandon really had no interest in the whole process this year...I remember when they couldn't wait to help! Now, they'd rather be texting, myspacing, or watching tv. Gone are the days of the little hands helping mom whenever they had a chance...that's okay, I know one day they'll ask to help again...and then, hopefully, the grandchildren will be there to help, too! I envision a full house one day in the distant future...full of married children and grandchildren...the thought brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart, just imagine! I know before then, though, we will have to pass through the girlfriend stage and the "empty nest" stage...whatever will my husband and I do with just one another to be with?! LOL
Well, for now, they are still young and here at home with us...and I am thankful for every minute! May you all enjoy your time with your families....life moves quickly!
Merry Christmas!!!
