I had really enjoyed doing the dino scenes, though. At first, Daniel and Hannah were: "You did it, Mom!" After a few days, Daniel asked, "Are the dinos gonna come out tonight?"

It's second nature to me to zoom in on a pic, or crop out all the clutter/mess in the surrounding areas. Yes Facebook, my house is a disaster and I don't care! (But I still will never post a pic of the mess!) (Also, please don't drop by for a visit, Carrie, or I'll make you stand out on the porch! No lie!) Anywhooo...I love the fanfare of the silly elf. (Ours is touchable too, by the way, even though my kids are too weirded out to touch him.) I love the belly laugh my 8 year old gives when he finds him in the morning. I'm sure he doesn't believe the legend behind the elf, but that doesn't bother me a bit. I love that my almost 13 year old still plays along and gives ole Melvin a sideways glare and an eye roll with a smirk. Sometimes he'll even snap a pic with his iPhone to share with his friends on the bus, but of course then it becomes his "brother's elf", haha! I love that I'm making silly memories with my boys AND I love that ole Melvin has quite the following on Facebook so that I can share the laughs with others. I hope to inspire others to find a way to share a laugh with a loved one! Please replace Jokey soon!Brookehttps://www.facebook.com/brooke.r.smith.121noreply@blogger.com
