I love that it's not hard to get them to pose hugging. There's something fulfilling about making two creatures that cuddle and love each other. It melts me every time when I find them cuddling in one bed together instead of in their own.
Here's the spread after Santa's visit. Seth's gotten suspicious about Santa, but some kid in his class claims his dad met the actual Santa, and Seth went for it for another year at least.
Here's Seth with his Hobbit sword, Sting. It was a huge hit.
Ada with her new kitchen and felt pizza set. Both kids love playing pizzeria for Aaron and I. They named their restaurant Luigi's.
Seth might have to watch his back here in Seattle as he proudly displays his Kaepernick figurine.
We got Ada a diaper bag with baby doll bottles and diapers, etc. She can't wait for our baby to be born, so she's doing some practicing.
More love.
I love the kids' excitement when you're about to open a gift from them.
Ada loves music and always wants to join in on the action. She loves her new guitar and now writes pages of music notes and pretends she's written songs.
A new bat is always a safe bet with Seth. He can't wait for the season to begin.
My brother's family got this tea set for Ada. She declared it her favorite gift. Aaron said to me "That'll teach you to try to compete with the Disney princesses."
The gift of new life.
The kind of mess that you don't mind cleaning up. We had a blast.
