merry christmas!

this made us laugh pretty hard tonight...elfyourself has really gotten better in the last few years! 

enjoy...

i took the kids to see santa last week with my friend nicole and her little guy cash

we've been going together for the past several years together and it's so cute to watch the kids

this year was much better for connor and molly did great too...

molly started to fuss when i put her on santa's lap and he told me "keep on walking"

i jumped by the camera and distracted her and i'm pretty excited about the shot we got

with no tears or reaching arms

connor was so sweet

he asked santa for a new three little pigs book because he couldn't find his that morning

pretty easy going kid i guess!

our little hobo

our little moo loves shoes and clothes!

she has to be watched at all times in the bedrooms because she is constantly opening drawers 

and pulling everything out

the other day she was in connor's room and decided to pull out his shirts and 

scream until we put them all on her!

she was perfectly content after she got all 4 shirts on

we love this about her!

{the thing i hear most often about my kids is about the eyes AND how much alike they look...i know, we definitely have to label her pictures so we know which baby it is}

never trust a quiet tot...part II

molly is a clever little baby

and LOVES to do things on her own

i was on the phone the other day

again two feet away

i knew she was right there and was glad that something was keeping her attention

and turned around to a huge mess of papers

not a big deal i sat and watched her play and pretend to read over all of our old paperwork

she loves books right now and is talking a lot

never trust a quiet tot!

even when you are two feet from them...

they are clever little things and are always watching, learning and waiting for the right opportunity

to try things out for themselves

it's been a long time since i used nail polish around connor because it ended in a full on toddler mani/pedi session

today i was just blowdrying my hair and i knew connor was in the bathroom with me

but wasn't really paying attention {obviously}

he was concentrating so hard

and was very impressed with himself

luckily this little scheme of his didn't result in a big mess

we were actually pretty impressed with his painting skills :)

life is never boring with this boy around!



it's the most wonderful time of the year!
happy holidays to everyone!
love,
james & nichol
