Trains, Trees, and Sweet Potatoes

Another Sunday and another visit to Nan and "Bee's" house. As usual, Shawn could barely wait to get out the door this morning for his weekly visit to a house he feels needs "rearranging"... which can only be done with his special touch. Upon our arrival I noticed a beautiful glow coming from the front window. To our delight the Sauers Family Christmas Tree was up and running!

A family tradition since Shawn was Landon's age is sitting down with Peeps to watch choo choo trains go around the tracks. Shawn's village that Peeps made for him last year isn't set up just yet, so he surprised the boys with a little train around the tree that Nan trimmed just for them. It was a heart warming moment in deed watching my two sons and grandfather gather around the train tracks with warm glowing lights shinning softly on their faces. This time of year is so magical... for young and old a like.





Speaking of magic... Landon performed a trick of his own this evening. He turned a nearly all white bib to orange! How talented is that?! Mr. Messy had his first taste of sweet potatoes today. He seemed to like them much better than he did the squash. Then again, his bib and clothing did most of the tasting for him.
