Christmas Cuties

I think it goes unsaid that every parent thinks their kids are the best.  Well there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think to myself, "Do all kids do this to their parents?"  And by "this" I mean many different things...such as...Melt my heart, act super cute, amaze me with their athletic abilities, amaze me with how smart they are....drive me bonkers, put me into a panic attack at least once a day, test my patience....Good and not so good, these two are mine and I love them so very much!

One of my more creative, engaging moments....I made a bus, minivan, tractor trailer truck (it's a multi facetted box) out of a huge box.  Paulie is trying to invite Molly into the box, but she wanted NOTHING to do with it!

In fact, Molly was quite perplexed as to why the others were having so much fun.  There isn't much Molly doesn't like...but small confined places is one of them.  Oh and bubbles, she is petrified of bath bubbles!  

Early Morning with Daddy!  Surprisingly, I was awake to capture the moment.

Waiting to see Paulie in his school Christmas Program.  I know I'm bias, but Molly is so unbelievably adorable.  She's really into twisting her tongue lately....They say it's hereditary...Silly girl, just like her Mama!

The morning of his school's Christmas Program...Yeah, he's pretty freakin' adorable too!

Paulie's class sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Little Drummer Boy and Happy Birthday Jesus!  Most of the kids in his class were like deer in headlights looking so lost up there on stage.  Paulie was all smiles when he spotted both his parents in the crowd.

We met in Paulie's classroom for some cookies and juice afterwards....He was so proud!

Molly is in HEAVEN playing with all the toys while Paulie is in school.  This is a much coveted toy that she feels pretty special to be riding!

Park Time with Daddy!  Paul rode the bike to our old playground with both kids in the trailer...First time ever!  They did great and Molly loves stairs and slides.

A little out of focus, but funny look!  Molly has this funny look where she furrows her brow and looks at you with such concern...I need to get this "look" on film, it's hilarious!

This weekend we attended Makena's 3rd Birthday party.  The theme was Hawaiian Luau and Molly got her very own coconut with her Hawaiian name written on it....Let's just say between the goldfish crackers, coconut drink, and chocolate cupcakes Molly was in Paradise!

Malia and Molly...BFFs!

Makena and Paulie are such dear friends...I never once noticed (until now) that he was the only boy at the party (except for 4 month old Porter)!  Paulie sure didn't mind it...Funny...Makena was posing for a photo with Paulie and said, "We are gonna get married!"  Ha!

CUPCAKE TIME!  Molly:  "Really Mom, I can really eat this?"

Everyone else is digging into the delicious cupcakes!

It goes without saying, this girl loves cake...Chocolate Cake!
