Present time at Nana's! Eddie's pouting because Billy's going first.
Budding chemists playing with homemade glowing slime!
Lego miniature tie-fighter.
Overwhelmed with joy.
Still going after the marble track assembly. On to the microscope!
Experimenting with the marble track while Eddie was still in bed (Eddie had been up very late the night before, after all.)
"Someone was in the pod. The tracks go off in this direction..."
Yes, I could tell from the start of the service that Billy did not intend to comply.
Billy followed some kids to the front and sat there briefly before deciding he really didn't want to be in the Christmas pageant this year.
Giving me the "evil eye" over a light bulb (see below.)
Having a Christmas cookie before running on the playground after the pageant.
"Mom, it's a REAL grown-up camera!"
Mommy cannot believe how much she LOVES legos. "These aren't the droids you're looking for..."
Billy no longer has to build his Star Wars guns out of Trio blocks!
The double-ended lightsaber comes apart to form two separate lightsabers! Kid-bliss!
When Eddie returns from Auntie Beth's and Nana's, we will start a little blog for him, too. He's taken some great action shots (and also some pictures of his rug, his wall, his toys, etc., etc., etc....) 
Here's Eddie, totally unsurprised, opening exactly what he asked Santa for. Billy is throwing a fit on the couch in the background because 1. he's up at 4 am so that his dad can go to work and 2. Eddie got to open his present first.Oh, but when Billy's moment came, he was a happy kid again!
The running of the marbles around midnight after Nana's day. Note the Bastrop County Sheriff's sticker adorning his shirt!
Eddie decided to be a shepherd in the Christmas play. He was very cute. The only problem was his candle. The kids were given little battery-candles, and the parents were supposed to screw in the light bulb "flame" right before the candlelight singing of "Silent Night" at the end (even then, we heard several pop and shatter during the song!) Eddie insisted during the entire program that I should give him his light bulb already because he wouldn't break it. We need to work harder on his understanding of "no" the FIRST time.
Billy pressed the button on this Christmas ornament over and over... so much, in fact, that he just parked his little rocking chair right in front of it so that he could hear the dialog again and again...."yes, Greedo, I was just going to see your boss..."
