On the last day of our trip we picked up a buddy, Eli's cousin Hunter. Eli didn't know what to make of a new baby in the car. We took the boys to my grandparent's house and then to Aunt Lisa and Uncle Dennis's for the night.
Eli did the golf ball dance on Papa's bed.
Papa mesmerized Eli with golf ball magic tricks.
Duck talk.
Mama snuggle.
Both boys zonked out on the way to Lisa and Dennis's house.
Cheese.
The boys had a big time with fun Aunt Lisa!
Eli even had some unexpected Christmas presents to open and play with with Hunter.
Hunter was more interested in that bow.
Sweet blue eyes.
What's next?
The Dog, Duck, and Lisa Show!
Playin' the drums.
"He looks hungry."
Sleepy sweaty Eli on the way home, breaking FAA regulations, the little rebel.
I love this shot of the boys. They both love the window seat.

"I found a shoe down here."
We got home yesterday afternoon. Eli would not nap (instead he spent the time quietly peeling all the artwork of the wall above his crib. Sad). So Eric took him to the grocery. He was out cold when they got home so I laid him under the tree for a quick nap before dinner.
zzzz.
The hat toss.
Brushing while I primped.
Oh, the excitement! Sweet Gram (Eric's mom) paid for my spree at the fabulous fabric store in Asheville. When I got home I went straight to sewing. It occurred to me that Eli didn't have a holiday outfit. So I made him one! It's hard to tell, but the swirlies on this fabric are strings of Christmas lights. It's really good that my sewing obsession began early in his life, because a one-year-old can get away with wearing such a dorky garment. An eight-year-old can't.
Oh so cute!
Eli has gotten really bold now that he's conquered walking. He climbed right up on his step stool and had a little snack. He's growing before our very eyes! It's wonderful and heartbreaking at the same time.Eli walks over for a Mama snuggle.
