And then extreme holiday cuteness ensued

Holiday Cuteness #1: The snack I made for the kids in Addy’s class at school. Chocolate dipped marshmallow pops with sprinkles. I even went the extra step and packaged them individually with little bows. I felt very June Cleveresque after making them. And slightly embarrassed by my thinly veiled efforts to impress a bunch of 2-year-olds on my daughter’s behalf.

Holiday Cuteness #2: My daughter in her holiday finery. This is currently her favorite expression to make when she allows the paparazzi to approach.

.
Holiday Cuteness #3: Grandpas doting on their grandkids.

.

.

Holiday Cuteness #4: Impromptu kitchen safaris.

.

Holiday Cuteness #5: Bedhead, pajamas, glowing lights and watching your child tear open presents.

.

Holiday Cuteness #6: Watching the same girl display extreme restraint when passing out gifts to everyone around her, not once whining or trying to open them herself.

.

Holiday Cuteness #7: Those cheeks! Those eyes! That hair! Celebrating my baby boy’s first Christmas.

.

Holiday Cuteness #8: Even though he slept through almost all of the festivities.

It was a magical, wonderful holiday loaded with family, blessings and love. Hope yours was the same.
