Spiders

There are certain benefits to having tall friends. One of those benefits is turning into a bit of a holiday tradition. That's when "Uncle" Korey lifts the kids high up in the air - upside down - so they can walk like Spiderman, pushing up the tiles on his mom's kitchen ceiling.

Sydney had been too scared to attempt it last year at Christmas, but this Thanksgiving she was excited to try, and ultimately begged to do it again.

Sydney's likely the only one who will be able to do this many more times. AJ, along with Korey's daughter Jenna, are both getting so big (and heavy) that my spider senses tell me their airborne days are numbered.

My mom senses, meanwhile, were just happy that the kids' Thanksgiving meals stayed down throughout their trek upside down.
