anticipation.....

In case you haven't been to my house recently, here's a bulletin - WE ARE FULLY AND COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH STAR WARS. It's been an ongoing thing for a while now, hence last year's Halloween costumes, the birthday party, and daily dress-up/lightsaber fighting/millenium falcon building sessions. We tried to explain to them during the costume discussions this year that you can dress up as something OTHER than Star Wars characters. We were met with mostly blank stares. And a few comments like "huh?" and "why?" We sort of gave up. Especially when Nana told them they could pick any costume off the star wars website, and she'd buy it for them. They love their Nana. Seriously.

So.....the costumes were waiting for them in San Diego, along with the costumes for their cousins. We decided to make a big deal out of the presentation - making them all wait with their eyes closed, patiently, until everyone had theirs. It was AWESOME to see them all......so excited, trying soooooo hard not to peek. They did a great job, and much excitement ensued, along with a full dress up session.
