This looks more dangerous than it actually was:) Boys being boys...no matter the age:)

 Jace was teaching Rome how to use his stick to stab the big leaves...

 This is a classic picture of Rome being very proud of himself:) Jace still carefully instructing him...

 Such a handsome boy! I love this nephew of mine!

 And this handsome little man ...

 Proud of his stick again..:)

 Rome followed Jace everywhere ... Jace is focused on something and Rome is making sure he isn't missin out:)

 Focused again..

 "See Rome, just like this!! I got it!"

The boys had a very fun sleep over...I loved watching these two cousins .. Rome felt like a big boy and Jace was so proud to teach him some of his little hobbies;) 

Rome is about to wake up from his nap .. gotta go start lunch!

PS my black coffee this morning was fancied-up with delicious peppermint mocha creamer...and it was served in a Christmas mug:) I love this time of year!! (I sure do miss you all though!!) 

Until our next coffee date...
