Man Jeans

Sutton Paul is such a mini man in dark denim Levi's. As a teenage girl, I always thought it would be just horrible to be a guy and have your pants size right there on the outside of your pants for all the world to see. Well, I still wouldn't love it (even though you have to be pretty close to see the size, so whoever is that close better have a good excuse) but as a little man, it is too darn cute. I don't know why I think it's so great, but the little "2T" is just the cutest thing I've seen of late. No 34x32 here, just a little 2T. Seriously, that is adorable.

Silly Sutton

"He's all boy." That's what they say, right?! Well I love all of this all boy.

Merry Christmas Day

Santa visited Natalie.

And Sutton too!

Playing with stocking stuff. Raaaaar!

These three are what make my Christmas so wonderful.

The Choo Choo Train was definitely the biggest hit of this Christmas season, and will certainly be hard to top in the future. Luckily, it's a holiday train, so it will be back every Christmas.

Christmas Lunch. Sutton blowing out the candles in the centerpiece.

Lighting the last of the advent candles.

Christmas conversation at Klings. I just love the mantle in this picture. There really is no place like Home for the Holidays.

Round two of Christmas, with the Cooks. Sutton putting fishing lures the his ears.

That's better. Well, not his, but at least they belong on his ears.

OU gear from our OU aunties.

Playing with the goods.

A week with Mimi and Pops, best gift of all.

Helping with holiday clean-up.

Reading the classic.

Ready For Christmas

Love our new home, even better at Christmas.

Christmas Eve

We began what we expect to be our new Christmas normal from here to forever. We spent Christmas Eve with our family opening a couple gifts from Granny and Grandaddy, eating pizza out (per Kling family tradition) and looking at lights. It was perfect.

Here's Natalie getting the tea set in a basket she's had Granny "thinking about in her little brain" since she saw something like it months ago. Needless to say, she LOVED it.

Sutton and Grandad playing with his new cars and trucks. Notice both of their mouths in "vroom vroom" position.
