him and her and her {week forty-nine}

he is a cheeky monkey who likes eating icing straight from the tube,

is absolutely giddy about December being here,

and it giving us daily countdowns to Christmas.

she seems so grown up lately,

and has the cutest little group of preschool friends,

who love a mother's meeting at the door before the day starts.

she is smiling, smiling, smiling,

and looks like it might turn into a laugh any day now,

but still trying to hide it from mummy's camera.
