Bad Nutcracker!

Brandon has a collection of Nutcrackers. He has had them for a while. One of the members of this collection is taller than Savannah.

She loves to play with them. And, apparently, the snowman and the large nutcracker where fighting the other day. Savannah had to "separate" them by placing them in different rooms. Then, she had to go back and discipline the large nutcracker. I walk into the room and see her holding the nutcrackers cheeks in her hands (like she says Emma's mom does) and telling him that "WE DO NOT DO THAT! Now you need to be good and apologize to Snowman."

Little Brother

How is Christopher?

GREAT!!

And, cute as can be!!!

Mom'n Tot!

Savannah LOVES tumbling!! She loves the trampoline, ball pool, tucks, the parachute, circle time, swinging on the bar, and especially her cousin Max. For about a year Savannah and I have done a Mom'n Tot tumbling class. It is great! She gets a lot of her energy out and has fun doing it.

This is HALLOWEEN!!!

The Princess, and her little brother, the PEA!

I would like to say that I am not a fan of Halloween. But, lets be honest! Any day where you can go beg the neighbors for YUMMY treats is always a plus in my book!!! Savannah loved chasing the neighborhood kids from door to door. We even got the added bonus of having the cutest little GIRL monkey come with us! Emma, I don't care what the neighbor two doors down thought!

We also went trick-or-treating at the Treehouse Museum. The kids wear their costumes and go around the museum hearing fairy tales and they get little prizes or treats.

Savannah's favorite part . . .

She met Cinderella!

(Savannah was so SHOCKED and EXCITED! Now we don't need to go to Disneyland.)

Second to that, though, was driving the FIRE TRUCK.

Five for Christopher!

This is hard! I feel like I know my children. But, it is hard to think of five things about a baby that isn't pretty common in ALL babies!

1. Christopher already LOVES to suck his thumb. He spits out his binky just to suck on his thumb and knuckles. And, Christopher is very particular about his binky choice. He has to have a certain kind. If I give him a different kind he spits it out and looks at me with one of his fathers inherited "UM, NO!" looks. (you all know that look!)

2. Christopher is so sweet! He loves to be held and cuddled. He is a very calm, great baby.

3. His smile melts his mother!!! Just like his sister, and this could be bias, when he smiles he makes his mom tear up! It is just amazing how they can get you wrapped around their little finger with just a small smile. I LOVE IT!!

4. Ice cream already gives him gas! SERIOUSLY!! (don't ask how I know this!)

5. Last but not least, he has a pair of beautiful blue eyes that only a prince could have!

Sing'n Savy!

This is from February, so it is a little old. But, it always makes me smile!

5 Facts about SAVY!

I've never done this before, but I guess my kids have been tagged. And, since two of my sweet friends tagged them I guess I better get on it!

Five things you wouldn't know about Savannah:

1. She has the squishiest nose I have ever seen!! I think there is no cartilage in the tip of her nose! She can push it almost flat against her face. (I think that came from Brandon's side!)

2. If Savannah could she would eat spicy chips (sunchips) and applesauce for every meal!

And, she LOVES sauces!! Thanks to Uncle Jake she was introduced at a very young age to Ketchup and BBQ sauce. Now when she has fries and chicken nuggest she has to have a little bit of both. And, if left unattended with the BBQ sauce from McDonalds she will just drink it from the container!!!

3. Savannah loves to sing! She knows all the words, and is pretty good with the tunes, of I am A Child Of God, Teach Me, I Love To See The Temple, Families are Forever, Book of Mormon Stories, Popcorn Popping, Nightengale (from Cinderella), Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, and of course, the theme song from The Little Einsteins.

4. Savannah loves order. She loves to put things away. Infact, it is hard when I want to buy her something at the store because she finds something she wants and carries it around with her and then just before checking out she has to go put it back on the shelf where we got it.

5. She doesn't like to be alone. She loves friends! And, Savannah absolutely adores her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins!

Her laugh and smile melt her mom and dad's hearts!!!
