Move Over Paula

On Monday Alex's teacher allowed each student to choose a Christmas present to bring in to share with the class. I would have thought Alex would have chosen one of her various Barbies or Hannah Montana toys. Nope, not Alex. Instead she chose her new Paula Deen cookbook from Nanie. And she had been BEGGING to make a recipe ever since Christmas. So that night I let her make her own dinner, a Mexican Omelet. She also sported the look by wearing her new apron, oven mitts and chef's hat from Grammy. Unfortunately she forbid me from photographing her in it citing she would look ridiculous and she didn't want people seeing her look so ridiculous.

And tonight it was/is just the boy and me. Daddy is in Niagara/Buffalo for the night and Alex decided to stay with Grandma and keep her company. Oh how I wish I could scoop this guy up and bring him to bed with me. He is the world's best snuggler! And isn't that face the most kissable ever (even with the crusty nose)!!!
