12/30/2011 - Car Madness

From Drop Box

Boys will be boys! Finny loves his cars and it seems like Liam likes them as well. So glad that we have enough cars to entertain both boys. Santa was good to the kids this years by adding many cars to their enormous car collection.

12/29/2011 - Fun at work

From Drop Box

We did a fun little contest at work today. They gave away all sorts of swag, an ipad, a TV, gift cards, beats by Dre headphones and a jambox. My boss had me write funny jingles for one of my favorite coworkers to read to the group to describe each prize. My mystery giftcard jingle was a hit. If things don't work out with ADP, I could write jingles for a living. Could be fun!

12/28/2011 - Huggin Cousins

Kai, Kim and Tim arrived yesterday to visit for the next couple weeks. Finn has been having an absolute blast with his cousin. They can't get enough of each other. I love that they enjoy each other's company so much. So sad that they don't live closer.

12/27/2011 - Snuggles

Sometimes I worry that the boys will never get along very well. Finny, our organized systematic particular boy does not like it when Liam, busy, playful boy tries to join in Finn's games. Finn gets so frustrated having Liam messing with his categorized Hot Wheels cars. Liam gets frustrated when Finn won't play with him. Then some days, i just see how much they love one another when they snuggle together. Finn and Liam will be so close some day. It makes me feel better that they will always look out for each other.

From Drop Box

We received a membership to Habitot from a really really generous and amazing friend for Christmas this year. So, we took advantage of our day off to let the kids try it out. It was amazing to see little Liam tromping around in the Toddler Room and Finn doing art and dressing up as a NASA astronaut. Totally adorable.

From Drop Box

Being the youngest cousin on the West Coast, I also became the babysitter of my cousin's kids at all holidays for many years. Now, my little cousins are all big and they take really good care of my kids of holidays now. J & K were watching Liam since Finn seems to want to hang out with the older boys now. It is so great to see the girls so caring for both Finny and Liam. So blessed and lucky.

12/24/2011 - Slipper Time

From Drop Box

Finny has been wearing my cozy slippers around the house. That kid loves to be cozy. So I bought him a pair of slippers, and then did a last minute purchase for papa as well. So the boys had new cozy slippers for Christmas from Santa. Total cozy happiness.
