ABCDs, the Uke remix

during halftime this past weekend, 

the shu shared his latest talent: the ukelele.

i cannot (and will not ever) 

get enough of the look on his face when he finishes.

"oh, so...you were all watching? why, i had no idea... 

i'm just in it for the music, man..."

i mean...

there are too many things i love here to mention.

GiGi bells

the movie Elf is much loved
here in stroesslerland.
among the many quotes we
use year-round, we love:

"the best way to spread Christmas cheer
is singing loud for all to hear."

our child, like a good little man,
has taken this elfin principle to heart.

what we 'humans raised by humans' love is that,
in his little two year old brain,
the words to Jingle Bells are slightly altered
to spread some cheer to one particular person.
his grandma, Gigi - marks' mom.

Merry Christmas, G!
