Words to Remember

Just a few of the funny things I've heard the kids say today:

In the middle of lunch and out of the blue Grace announced: "When I grow up and have my kids I'm going to name him Sid."
Then, 15 minutes later as she was playing princess dollies, she was singing, "Now bring us some pretty pudding, now bring us some pretty pudding, and eat it right now."

And Lincoln has renamed the plastic, animal-shaped container for the honey from 'Honey Bear' to 'Honey Pig' -- and he's right it does look like a pig :)

Picture Perfect Christmas

We had another wonderful Christmas, full of exciting family parties and lots of new toys. We are so blessed and Christmastime is a beautiful reminder of how deeply God loves us.

Could there be two cuter kids??

Santa Sightings

There have been a few close encounters of the Santa kind. First at Florence Mall:



Then at Mimi's St. Nick party:

(unfortunately Linc was too terrified to sit with Santa this year, but Grace requested presents for both of them.)

Sweet Dreams

Here's a conversation between Mommy and Lincoln. He was just waking up from his nap and I went in an picked him up:
Mommy: Good morning handsome; did you sleep good.
Linc: mmhmm
Mommy: Did you have good dreams?
Linc: mmhmm
Mommy: Did you dream about Santa?
Linc: no
Mommy: Did you dream about Frosty the Snowman?
Linc: no
Mommy: What did you dream about?
Linc: Nana

After this story is repeated to Nana, I think Linc may find a few extra presents for him under the tree at Nana & Papa's house :)
