We LOVE Our...

New Neighbors!

It's hard to beat all the wonderful neighbors back in Minnesota...but we sure lucked out when it came to a great set of neighbor's here! Our next door neighbors are the sweetest people from Aberdeen, Scotland. (Same place my best friend Lynne is from). And, they LOVE little boys! (Thank goodness!) Anyways, our neighbor lady loves to come watch Bubba, and does it to allow me to volunteer in the kids classrooms once in a while. This weekend they had us over to dinner, and to give the kids Christmas presents! All my boys feel right at home in their house...especially Bubba! He has won over their hearts!
Mrs. knows how to get RIGHT to his heart with a bag of Cheetos! She would grab a Cheeto and take a bite, and Bubba would grab it out of her hand and stick it in his mouth REALLY fast! This was cracking her up all night!
Here are the boys with their new goods! I wish I would have video taped Curtis and Johnny opening their gift from them! Mr. and Mrs. got my boys Mario Kart for the Wii (something they always wanted) and the boys were screaming and jumping around! Mr. and Mrs. were in heaven watching it! They were way too generous, and we really appreciated it!
We did a few Scottish traditions, such as each boy had a 'cracker' at their place to open up and let pop!
With goodies and a hat in the middle!

After that, it was on to the competitions for the night! Here is a short clip of what our evening was like! As you can see, my kids LOVE the neighbors! We had a great time, and I can NOT believe we were there for over 5 hours! Again, we are blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives!

OMG you sure are lucky! They know the way to Bubba's heart- FOOD! Don't worry I'm preparing for Bubba's return to WI. I'm in charge of the chocolate:)
