Life as we know it: In Cell Phone Pics

We had a crazy-warm day last week and met some friends at the park.  It was so much fun!  Here are our little pink ladies.  We didn’t mean to color coordinate them, but they did look very cute!

And, the pink ladies with their big brother “bike gang.”  These boys are so fast on the bikes!  I love it!

And, a beautifully detailed feathered friend who had no fear of us . . . The colors on this peacock are so amazing.  My picture does not even begin to do it justice!

And, we had our annual Siddons Family trip to see Santa last week.  Despite my boys telling me:  “I will cry if I sit on Santa’s lap,” they did great.  William kept saying “Merry Christmas, Santa!” over and over again, and Hudson asked Santa to bring Anna a baby doll.  It was so sweet!  The boys had a first on our way out . . . as soon as we got to the car, they had to go to the bathroom, so Daddy gave them some tips and took them over to the rock pile/construction site nearby . . . nevermind the fact that Broad Street was on the other side of the pile o’ rocks! oh, these boys!

Huds and I found Sister half-way up the stairs screaming “MA MAAAA!” the other day.  She giggled and then booked it up the rest of the way as soon as we saw her.  This little love is quite independent!

Our annual Siddons Family cookie baking party/stuff-your-face-fest was today.  It was so fun!  The boys loved it, and Sis even had a cookie once she stopped running laps around the house!

Say “ICING!”  (please note the “wreath” cookie on the plate in front of Huds)

And, last year:

Can I just stop and have a moment to say:  I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW BIG MY BABIES ARE!  I would cry about it if I weren’t so tired right now.  I mean, look at those cheeks!  Oh, MY BABIES!

and “SPRINKLES!”  (Check out his plate!  WOAH sugar high!)  The boys have perfected their cookie decorating and cookie inhaling a bit from this time last year!

And, flashing back:

I cannot even talk about how big and sweet and independent and rascally, and loud and precious this tiny little love has gotten!  She was on the move so much today, I don’t even have a picture of her!

oh, babies . . . and cookies . . . I love them both. Lots!

nighty night!
