Our kids are definitely cuter than yours, here's proof

See what I mean. They are stinking cute! It really doesn't get cuter than that. So maybe I'm biased, but still they are cute. And not only are they cute they are so sweet and fun. We just love being parents. I took these today before church, their Christmas outfits from Grandma Valenza.

Yes, those are earrings. We decided to get Marissa's ears pierced a few weeks ago and we love it. Isn't she so cute. Our little doll baby. I'm still hoping those eyes turn green. Wouldn't that be fun.

And we're already creating piano prodigies. They love playing together, sweet beautiful tunes. Well not yet, but don't worry, I'll teach them.

Our little penguin.


This is our rollie pollie girl. She is a mover. She isn't crawling yet, but she rolls all over and gets wherever she wants. It's so cute and fun, but I wish she would slow down. She's going to cause trouble. But she sure is cute!

My little helper. Collin won't leave our side. He hates to be alone. It is so sweet, sometimes. A lot of the time we just wish we could do something on our own, but if we leave for 2 seconds we hear, "wait for me". We'll definitely miss it when he outgrows it and never wants us around. Anyway, what I wanted to say is how wonderful of a helper he is. Again, sometimes it can be a little frustrating, but usually I don't care, I mean my 2 year old vacuums, sweeps, mops, rakes, he practically does it all. I love having a little helper. I am a lucky mom!

Isn't this cute. Marissa sure loves her Toby kitty. Whenever he comes near she smiles and giggles. She loves to pet him, even if it becomes more of a tug.

We had a fun snow storm a few weeks ago and of course had to go play in it. Collin didn't enjoy it quite as much as I thought he would. It was pretty cold and windy. We got to sled down our hill out back and build a snowman. It was a fun week. Collin's favorite part was just getting to have "hot (warm) chocolate". He asked for it every chance he got. He was more excited about the hot chocolate than the snow.

They are so cute together! Marissa adores Collin and Collin loves to entertain her. He is starting to talk to her and show her things. Today after Marissa's nap, I brought her out and he kissed her hand and said "good morning" Rissa (that's what Collin calls her). Pretty cute! He also turned on the Christmas lights on the tree today and turned and looked at Marissa and said, "look Rissa, lights". It was so sweet. How blessed to know that Families are Forever.
