christmas lights.....

i don't think i ever experienced looking at
christmas lights quite like tonite.

this is the first time my kids and i combined
with my guy and his son, piled into one
vehicle and went looking....

me and five testosterone filled guys looking
at christmas lights.

josh was on a roll. he was smack in the middle
of the car and giving commentary on everything.
there was sarcasm gone wild thru out the car....
the critics were out in full force and you had
to squint to find the spirit of the season in
our group!

but if you tilted your head just right, you'd
see the love and companionship that ran underneath
the guy humor and the jabs. but believe me, you
had to look just right.....

i sat there kinda shakin' my head in disbelief
and thinking how different it would be if i was
in a car filled with women!

all nite, his son was tucked way in the back
hatch of the car. when there'd be a turn, you'd
hear him and everything back there go flying!

we laughed and laughed over the clunks. and
then finally, my guy, who was driving says real
calmly as he's slowly taking a turn "i think i
figured it out, you go wide and then gun it.'

and bam, he gunned the gas pedal and we heard
his son go flying.

i laughed so hard i thought i would bust a gut.

his son is like rubber, and a great sport.
he was havin' as much fun as we were.

when we finished up, i had really felt like we
had experienced something. wasn't sure what...
but definitely something.

lights viewed from the testosterone point of
view....

there's nothing quite like it......
