Malia started the morning by stealing Pops' slippers and putting them on her hands. Not sure how she got in his room but she has a thing for shoes.
She tried Daddy's shoes on too...
We headed to church where Zachary and I got to enjoy a service together and the kids were entertained in the nursery.
Then we came home and had a yummy lunch- hamburgers and hotdogs- but Liam wasn't into waiting until they were done so he snacked on some yogurt. These yogurt cups have Mickey on them so they were a hit.
Then we had naps- I didn't think Liam would sleep but he did and he slept hard. When it was time for him to get up I found this:
Then it was time for dinner... chili! But before dinner, there was time for some Grandma birthday snuggles. Liam went for a kiss.
I got a shirt for Malia that says "It's a nice day for visiting Grandma."
The birthday cake was delicious- Malia agreed.
Zachary found this as a great opportunity to play around with Malia. He kept sneaking up on her and she was a huge fan.
And here's a picture of Liam tricking Pops. Liam ate a bag of fruit snacks and then grabbed another. He took it to Zachary and Zachary said no. So he brought it to me and I said, "What did Daddy say?" and he said no. So then he took it to Pops who had been distracted by the iPad. Pops immediately opened it and handed it to him while the rest of us looked on and laughed. Gotta give Liam credit for being resourceful.
First of all I would just like to share how blessed I am to see this beautiful face every morning and the handsome face of my son- his is not always as cheery as Malia's but he's still handsome.
And second I would like to share how blessed I am that my children love each other and that they, at their core, are so very loving and sweet. It's hard to hear, but Liam is blowing kisses and after every kiss says "Lala" which is his name for Malia. It was so very precious and warmed my heart to no end.
After he finished blowing his kisses, he did something he's been doing a lot lately- he walked away and said "Bye guys." He's been doing that a lot lately and it's so funny.
Also, we had leftover lasagna for lunch. Malia enjoyed it.
This first picture is of the roses Zachary brought home for Malia the day of her party- I love that he's so sweet to her and they are just gorgeous!
I love that I got this picture! We have been asking Malia for kisses for a while now but she just recently started actually doing it. This is her version of a kiss:
Another new thing in the Holliday house: Liam gets on Daddy's back and rides around the living room and Malia pushes him- she really thinks she's the motor behind this operation- it's so cute but it's also helping her develop those leg muscles and practice walking!
