Everyone knows that doing anything with kids in tow, or around for that matter, is tricky.  The differences are small in the choices you make but are great in number.  For example, the tree has no ornaments on it, not even shatterproof ones, because I didn’t want to bother with picking ornaments up and replacing them on the tree.  It has lights and is decorated, just not with stuff Heidi can reach to remove.  It’s a ”Low Energy” tree.  You get it; an undecorated tree takes up less of my energy!  I even put the presents out of reach instead of under the tree.  I’m no fun; I know.  It’s self-preservation.  The tree is still pretty and Heidi had great fun exploring the light strands before and after 🙂 they went on the tree! 

Pheasant feathers, ribbon and wild grasses. OH MY!

So, Heidi got into everything, which was adorable!  Seriously, she did this on her own!  Maybe she has a future in jewelry design.  Girl can make a necklace out of anything!

Wyatt did NOT get into everything, which was equally adorable!

Wyatt’s looks too cute in his camo hoodie.  I’m sure he’s thinking if he is really still Heidi won’t see him.

 

But alas, she can!

Heidi has always been a “shoe girl” and is beginning to be the same with clothes, especially if they are as soft as this outfit.  Besides the fact it is so soft, she looks like a cupcake piled high with icing! 

Cute little legs.  I wish she could stay like this forever.  Marvels at everything, copies what I say and do, mispronounces words, small enough to curl into a ball in my lap, snuggles with her hand at my neck……..NEEDS me.

The most ordinary things, such as the basket where the throws are kept, make the best playthings.

Can you feel me swell with pride at this photo?  Heidi is a multitasker of the highest caliber!  She can talk on two phones at once!

Cuteness.

Sweetness.  Daddy and Wyatt holdin’ hands.

You’ve got to love kids for the funny stuff they do.  Everything is funny.  I mean, come on, a laundry basket on your head?  That is funny stuff.  Put one on your head and see if you can keep from laughing!

Our precious son’s adoption was finalized in court December 10th.  What a happy day!  We adopted two children in 17 months and are humbled by it.  Blessed are we.  Wyatt looked so dapper in his outfit that day.  🙂

Did y’all know there was a lunar eclipse? 

Amateurish at best, I know.  Still cool.

Christmas is next!
