It's nice to know that even with all these big things a-brewin', you can enjoy the constant things in your life. Perfectly illustrated above, of course, with lots of chocolate cake eating. Be mindful that I wasn't innocent in this indulgence either! (Just off camera!)
Mini has deemed herself the honorary Reindeer of the season as well, going at her first Christmas with unmatched zeal. I don't think Monkey was ever that willing to wear those antlers so proudly! Now I just need to solve the delimma of what will decorate Mini's stocking?
Yep, that's right... Those are some big girls sitting at Grandma and Grandad's kitchen table, eating breakfast.
And of course, Daddy HAD to teach Monkey to drink the milk from her cereal bowl when she finishes. Oh, did I mention how much I loooooove those piggy-tails?
Suiting the end of this entry ideally, here is the Monk pretending to go to work. She will grab all the necessities for a grueling day at the grind, kiss everyone around goodbye, and yell "Bye!" as she is walking to the door. Pretty much the second cutest thing of all time. The first cutest is when she puts on a pair of Momma's shoes during the ritual.
Well, as Monkey's 2nd birthday is approaching, we are just loving life more and more. How lucky we are! Just tonight, Jay traded a tattoo for a Wii for Lilly's big day. Or should I say "for" Lilly. I suspect some ulterior motives here...
P.S. Any suggestions as to what should go on Mini's stocking would be much appreciated! If ya'll recall last year- I spent quite a few hours crafting Lilly's. It was a labor of love, and I had Grandmother on my mind for much of it. I still prize mine that she made for me so many years ago and I only hope to provide the same for my kids.
