A Few of My Favorite Things

The fact that Aiden loves to wear our shoes around the house. 

That Sophia props her legs up on the front of the stroller like it's her footrest. 

Aiden's enjoyment of Saturday morning trips to the doughnut store....and his consistency in ordering at all places. (He'll take the pink one.)

Clapping....Sophia's newfound trick. 

But most of all....snuggles. Nighttime snuggles from my girl and morning snuggles from my boy. Soph and I sneak in a few minutes of alone time every evening at bedtime to sing and nurse and pray. And on the best of those days she falls into a deep sleep in my arms and let's me snuggle her until I have to force myself to do something besides rock and cuddle for the evening. Then in the morning Aiden wakes up like me...slowly. So he'll crawl into my arms and just let me hold him...and I'm reminded of how big he's getting and how I'll snuggle him every morning as long as he'll let me. He can be 18 and I'll still let him sit in my lap.  Yeah, snuggles are my absolute most favorite. They are the entire reason I started writing this post...but then I thought of a few other things that regularly bring big smiles to my face, plus I don't have any snuggle pictures...just the mental ones I've stored away...but since you can't see those and a post with no pictures isn't all that fun, I figured I could perhaps include a thing or two that fills up all the storage space on my phone...
