Fun Foto Friday #53 | John and Asmara Anyan

Christmas in February!

That’s what it felt like the last 2 days here at the Anyan home. On Thursday, we took the boys shopping with some Valentine’s Day money they got from Papa & Nana. And ohhhhhhhh, the options! I think Judah was a little overwhelmed by all the choices. Ninja Turtle outfit? Little airplane toys? A big car? Action figures? At the end, he settled for a Batman shirt (with cape!) because that boy loves his superheroes (even though he gets confused about who’s who).

“I’m Supermaaan! I’m Superman, Mama?” “No, you’re Batman.” “I’m Batmaaaaan!”

Elias kept on running off as fast as his little legs could carry him through the toy aisles at Target. Talk about chasing your kid! He kept on bringing us different animal figures and settled for a cow, a fox, and a lion (well, we kind of decided for him because he just grabbed as many as his little hands could hold).

THANK YOU, PAPA & NANA!

The very next day we received a long-expected package that traveled all the way from Oma in Germany to little Roach! Can you tell the boys were excited to open it?

I told them to do a "surprised face" and that's what came out :) — I told them to do a “surprised face” and that’s what came out 🙂

And ohhhhhhhh, so many presents. Not just for the boys but for John and me, too (thanks, Mum!!).

Judah LOVES swords and has carried this one around everywhere, including to sleep. He wasn’t sure what to do with the shield and is using it as a sheath for his sword. Oh well.

Elias just went for the giant chocolate bar. That's my boy! — Elias just went for the giant chocolate bar. That’s my boy!

Remember Judah's love for superheroes? A whole Spiderman outift made him oh-so-happy (with his new Batman shirt underneath, of course!) — Remember Judah’s love for superheroes? A whole Spiderman outift made him oh-so-happy (with his new Batman shirt underneath, of course!)

And that's what he did after I asked him to show me that he didn't stuff any of the little Playmobil pieces into his mouth. — And that’s what he did after I asked him to show me that he didn’t stuff any of the little Playmobil pieces into his mouth. Good job, Li-Li.

DANKE, OMA!!!

Bottom line: Grandparents are the best :).
