Oh and this....

I forgot to add these.  The other night, Nick went out with Jeff for his birthday.  The kids and I cuddled up in our bed for a night of cuddling and Christmas specials.  It was awesome. :)  I loved every minute of it.

This is how many of our mornings begin.  I wanted to record the sound of Ella laughing.  The tinkling sound of little-girl laughter has to be one of the best sounds in the world. I feel like there are a lot of times in our regular life when I think, "Twenty years from now, I HAVE to remember this.  I don't want to forget a single second of our kids being this age."
