Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 17, 2009

You wowed ‘em with that one, Lio!

And biodegradable, too :P

Good thinking Lio since the Christmas light bulbs shorted out yesterday.

And Dad looks like he recovered just fine….. :o)

Eco-friendly fireflies! How fortunate that Lio has trained them! Both Dad and Squishy (Ishmael) are amazed!

As long as they stay put.

Aw, Ishmael has one of his arms(?) around Dad.

now thats just wrong

i think Mark’s theme of a better way to go is adorable! (double fold meaning in this case. both as in the ‘awwww’ reaction and ‘having the ability to be admired” wonderful!

Living lights? Pretty.

Flies in the face of ol’ Tanenbaum. How Lio makes light of it!

Genius.

It’s nice that Ishmael and dad like each other.

Living in FL I do NOT miss the first sNOw or the winter’s chILL. What I miss most of all from my life up north is the Lightning Bugs in June (we’ve got no Lightning bugs any time here). What an awesome way to decorate a tree. Yeah, I know they are a summer thing - but the scholars teach that Jesus was born in the summer anyway (that’s why the shepherds were in the fields and not tucked away at home).

Lio (and Mark) - I salute your Christmas Creativity & Spirit.

sadly we don’t see as many fireflies as we did living downstate they do make really nice light shows

Ahhh, heart warming…..and a smile for all.

Aww. Lovely.

Hope Lio has more lightning bugs when these ones die. I’d be surprised he has a Christmas present for each and every one of them too.

Dad is hitting the Falstaff, so Ishy is welcome for the Holidays!!

Dad’s so impressed, he doesn’t even mind having a big wet tentacle around his neck.

Nice way to light a Christmas tree!

I want Lio to decorate my christmas tree this year.
