Cute kids!

We were downstairs playing and Stratton said, "Mom, I have a present for you." He then said, "Just stand up and open you arms and I'll give it to you." So I did, and he came toward me with his arms outstretched and gave me the biggest hug! The best present of all!! Stratton is such a sweet boy!

We were over at Grandma Harris' house and Evie found a dolly and brought her over to me and let me know that the dolly was sick. We started to take care of the "sick" dolly together and she then proclaimed, "Mommy, (referring to the doll), she is a child of God." It was so adorable. Later as she was talking to the doll, she said, "Follow the prophet!" Too cute!

Evie has been wanting to brush my hair lately, which I don't mind that at all! Anyway, a couple of days ago when she got done brushing and fixing my hair, she said, "Mom, you look like a rockstar."

On our way to Grandma Harris' on New Years Day, Evie was pretty honery due to lack of sleep over the holidays. Anyway, she was sitting right next to Stratton and started pestering him by pinching and hitting. Then she immediately broke into tears saying, "I want to say sorry, I want to say sorry!", as she is sobbing. So I said, "Say sorry then", and she did, only to soon start up the hitting and pinching again and the cycle started all over, "I want to say sorry...." The funniest part (mind you we are trying not to laugh), she began some self talk after the incident, "Don't scream Evie, it's alright" to herself until we finally reached our destination.
