Pre Christmas

Before Christmas, Marc and the doggies went down to Pensacola and I went to Hampton. The nephews were there, too, and full of Christmas excitement. Hudson didn't feel great, so he spent more time in the recliner and Bowen and I got to have some Aunt Mary/Bowen bonding time.



But he would periodically go check on his brother to see how he was feeling. Bowen is a VERY sweet boy.


And man, does Bowen ever get into Christmas.

He loves to wear the Santa hat, the Christmas bell and the festive slippers.

He also adores those annoying singing-thingys. You know, Santa singing a carol about himself or the reindeer singing about Grandma's demise. So being a good grandma, my mama has several of them. And Bowen will listen to them over and over. Sometimes two or three at once.

But the joy it brings Bowen makes up for the fact that you want to take out and hide the batteries!
