The Best Birthday Gift

I recently celebrated a birthday. The best birthday present ever was my sweet 22-month old wishing me a happy birthday after having some delicious chocolate birthday cake.

A Couple of Really Cute Kids

I finally have gotten just a little time to share these photos of two fabulous kids (if I do say so myself!). Such a fun day!

Does this gent look slightly mischievous?

Hansel and Gretel hop through the forest.

Will they ever find their way home?

Once we got them to hold hands, they just kept holding hands.

Cheerio! Top o' the mornin' to ya!

The reluctant kiss!

We need to have a serious conversation.

After we managed to get a few good semi-posed pictures, we let the kids play. L did not want to swing, but he offered to push A. Miss A could have sat in that swing all day, but alas we had to remove her kicking and screaming.

L shares a sweet moment with his mama.

THE OUTTAKES!!

(Just as fun if not more!)

A was coming in for a kiss, and L did not want any part of that.

A's turn to shun the attention. She did not want to hold L's hand!

"Ewww!! Mommy, she's got dirt on her hands!!"

"It's ok, L. She likes having dirt on her hands."

A tries L's hat on for size. I think she'll keep it. :)

Do you need help?

She does love rocks and dirt!

Super L to the resuce!!!

A was not into this hug either. If they'd just want to be loving at the same time!

This kid makes the funniest faces!

I had so much fun with these photos. There were so many good ones that I had to share a few more.

I love this picture. It expresses so much ... love, happiness, laughter, & fun!

All the kiddos!

Did somebody say, "Ice cream?!?!"

I love this sweet hug!

Which brother do you think will like the spotlight?!

A stroll with dad.

That was a lot of work ... let's sit a rest a while. :)
