Birthday Girl

Kennedy turned 7 in September - and for her birthday, she got her ears pierced! Auntie Peep, Emily Fitzgerald, Kennedy & I spent the day at Bay Street having lunch, eating cupcakes and shopping before heading to a SURPRISE party in our joint honor.

Uncle Kyle's Cupcakes - YUM!

"Mommy, beauty is pain" Um, wow.

Surprise!

The Danger of Having a Big Sister - SHOWTUNES

Kennedy's favorite - and therefore Cooper's favorite - movie and soundtrack is GREASE. We're going on five months now of the same two songs on repeat; but I'll take it - thank goodness High School Musical fell on the Henselmann family charts! The kids constantly ask for the "Ooo ooo song" - and Cooper's second favorite is "Tell me more song". Without further ado, I give you Cooper...

Rainy Day

There are two things the kids love about rainy days - puddles & umbrellas!

A Naked Tiger

Cooper's new favorite thing to do is draw. Santa brought the kids window markers & they sure get a lot of use out of them. They've also tagged the walls in their room - which they are now allowed to do, but only until I repaint. Wish me luck attempting to UNteach a 2 year old to draw on walls. So now I hear a lot of:
"Momma, draw wall?"
"Momma, draw window?" & the newest
"Momma, draw self?"

Back to Reality

I have a ton of holiday photos to share, but need to finish uploading & scrolling through them for my favorites... In the meantime, I thought I'd share this classic pic that Sam just emailed to me. We all had two weeks off - spent a week in LA with my parents and a week at home. It was great family time & much needed R&R! But sadly, today was an early morning for all of us and back to the real world.

Here are Kennedy & Cooper, all bundled up because it's COLD, on their way to school. Dreamy. :)

Sam's Cell Phone Photos

Sam is really cute & frequently sends me photos of the kids in the morning. Here are a few of the recent ones.

Kennedy's First Highlights

Why have boring blonde highlights when you can have HOT PINK? Sam took Kennedy to get her hair cut - I had a big surprise when I picked her up! She might have the coolest daddy in the entire world... (and we now are going to have to add more hot pink to Kennedy's wardrobe as she wants to dress to match her hair. So awesome)
