Matt, is that frosting on your cheek?

I think I know where the frosting on Matt's face came from - it was a kiss from Anna.

Natalie likes to rearrange her grandma Debbie's tupperware cabinet. Actually I think grandma keeps things in there just for Natalie.

Natalie looks so proud to be doing the work of cleaning out the cabinet.
