We've been driving around taking in the neighborhood displays on a regular basis for the past few weeks. I remember that over Josie's second Christmas season we would drive around and she would sing "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..........way" as we drove. When she saw one she liked she was enraptured, then would chant "mo wights! mo wights!" until we found the next. Her third Christmas brought an infant Jasper for our rides and she would have a more discerning opinion, labeling each as either "colorful" or "tasteful" in the Anderson family tradition. This year Josie and Jasper clearly prefer the more ostentatious displays with multiple strings of variously colored, preferably flashing large colored bulbs, plastic effigies of Santa, reindeer, or snowpeople, projection nativities, etc. Needless to say our little white-lit pine garland isn't to their liking. Really though, Jasper prefers the "boo wights!"
favorite book: Jingle Bells by Veronika Vasylenko and Olivia's Christmas by Ian Falconer
on the cd player: track 8 (a.k.a. 'woo--woo-woo-charlie-brown-kismas-song-woo-woo-woo-right mama?) Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi
catchphrases: Josie - ginormous! Jasper - wight mama? uh-huh. Adelaide - delighted squeal!
oh, and it's just started to snow as Jasper and I eat our Mackyroni and Cheese.
