things we love, and things we love to hate.

things the girls are loving {and hating} these days:

heffalump:

loving:

watching daddy play video games

pointing

when i sing to her

laughing back and forth at nothing at all

baths- especially splashing her sister

playing with hazels toys- anything hazel shows interest in, cora is bound to want to play

pulling herself up and holding onto everything

when john speaks in mandarin to her

hating:

when i take old food, cardboard, and other things she has found on the ground out of her mouth

getting her face wiped

when i turn the pages of books for her

getting dressed- she wants to stay naked! every evening after bathtime we have a wrestling match.

hazelnut:

loving: 
cooking with me
anything and everything star wars
chasing or getting chased around the kitchen, we call it the "get you game"
reading books
sprinkles treats (rice krispie treats)
her new pizza game and baby doll
all kinds of rough housing
playing dress-up
painting and play-dough
all things animals and princess

hating:
when cora mae touches anything she is even remotely interested in, from toys to the coffee table
not being able to do things herself
when i sing. "don't sing, mom!"

2015 in review from Paige Brunt on Vimeo.

merry.

we are in idaho for christmas this year, and it's pretty thrilling. hope yours is great as well.

zoo lights!

we have been having a blast in utah with my family! i have done all my christmas shopping, we have been sledding, and have played outside in the snow, and eaten great food. i have gotten to reconnect with dear friends. hazel and cora mae's aunt and uncles have been the sweetest to them and they get played with almost constantly. it's really the best.

before john flew in, hazel and i went to the zoo lights together. such a fun outing! here's a few pics:
