Easy evening

Tonight I got home from work and my sweet sweet husband had put up Christmas lights on our house!!!!! Oh. My. Gosh. I'm so excited!!!! He said the kids were great little helpers and Maddox kept telling him that "mommy will love it" it's the little things that make life so perfect! We have never had lights up on our house before. This was the best surprise!!!!!

We went to the Chinese restaurant for dinner and let the kids play on the slide and I got schooled in pin ball!!!

My babies

Tonight I'm realizing just how quickly my little ones are growing. It just happens so fast, just one day they are not little bitty babies anymore. It's not like they are teens or even in school for that matter but they are kind of official toddlers. It has gone by so fast. I try really hard to live in the moment and soak up each minute with them but it's inevitable, time just flys!!! 

The kids were away from us for one night this weekend, not even 24 hours but I swear they are bigger and smarter! Eliana's sweet grin is now just the biggest most beautiful smile. She just moves around so so fast. The songs my son sings are so cute. He can carry a tune that's for sure! To hear him sing every lyric and have the right tone and pitch through the song, it's just crazy!

To watch him really play with his cars and dump trucks, he actually hauls items from room to room in them. Such a playful little boy. His imagination is going wild right now. It's so fun to watch. The innocence and purity of a child is beautiful. My baby girl loves to point to every object in her baby Einstein book, she gets so excited to be read to and asked questions. She loves to have her shoes put on, she runs to her room to get them and sits down right in front of me, ready to go. Maddox just started "reading" books. He actually remembers what the books say and in the veggie tales Christmas book he gets every page right. Of course he changes some of the words, cookie to cake, dark outside to nighttime, he just blows my mind. I am so so crazy about these two babies and can not believe how fast time is going by. I am beyond thankful that God has given me the job of being their mother. I am so thankful for the blessings I have in my life. Everyday here on earth is a gift and I am truly thankful. This is the best job ever. Here's to one more😉
