Dance Fever

Big thanks to Uncle Justin for passing along this gem of a video he shot on his phone while visiting during Christmas. We were all in stitches watching Cooper show off some dance moves.

Easy Breezy Flying Trapezie!

Adeline started her new Trapeze class at DoJump! She has been getting really good at the bars at the playground and the rings at school that one of her teachers suggested we enroll her in this program. The teachers are great and the class is really imaginative, creative and Adeline loved it. Above, the kids are being some sort of insects with antennas. Adeline is in the center.
Look closely and you can see her swinging on the trapeze!

Playmates

Cooper got a double-escort when Adeline had her friend Devlin over for a playdate. First sunny day in awhile so we grabbed some lunch in the neighborhood.

Afternoon Delight

Until the kid's naptime schedules start to overlap more, there's always those hours in which one of them is patiently awaiting the other to wake so that we can get out of the house. Here, Cooper decides to sample his sister's silver sparkly boots and beaded necklace.
Later he tries his hand at cup stacking.

Christmas Morning Highlights

(1) Santa gave the kids new toothbrushes in their stockings. We had no idea they would be so excited to try them out on the spot.
(2) Adeline models her authentic Oaxacan outfit given to her from her cousin Ella. The candy cane not only matches, but tastes delicious.
(3) Cooper plays "Santa" on Christmas morning and continues to pull all the delicate ornaments off the tree.
(4) Adeline got the big Hello Kitty doll she had asked for from her cousin Lauren. More hugs this tight and Hello Kitty might consider relocating.
