Soup Bowls & Love

I have really been enjoying this time that I have had with all of our little family. I am so grateful for my children and the happiness and joy they bring to our house! Z. has been on a CUTE roll this week- here are some of the things she has said. 

We were on our way down to see the Temple lights, and she yells, YELLS from the back seat "HERE COMES THE SOUP BOWL!!" (She was talking about the spaghetti bowl (you know where all the major freeways cross). And then Z. continues with "D. lets take a big bite!" After I corrected what kind of bowl was coming, we all took a bite of Mom's favorite food (spaghetti)! 

Z. and I were shopping last night, she is a SUPER helper to her mom, and she only asks for a treat like 100 times. Anyway- as we were looking for Molasses (where is the world of Wal Mart is the Molasses!) she says "Mom, will you still love me when I'm big?" The other mom on the isle burst out into tears (she had just had a baby), "that is the cutest thing I have ever heard!" I followed up with big tears in my eyes, "of course I will love you, of course I will love you!" 

Finishing the shopping trip we had to venture over somewhere remotely near the toy section (which is scary this time of year) and Z. just held onto the cart and sang loudly "Santa Clause is coming to town!" I think she has done a great job of reminding me about what Christmas is! When we leave anywhere she says "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" with a BIG smile.  She is such a sweetheart!
