We’ve been following the Kardashians for over a decade now, and one thing we can say for certain about them is that they have strong family values and put each other above all else. Now that Kourtney and Kim are all grown up and have families of their own, it’s amazing to see just how tight-knit they remain. Kourtney and Kim are only a year apart in age so they grew up with a super close bond, and ironically both of their first-born daughters were welcomed into the world within a year of each other. Penelope Scottland Disick is the four-year-old daughter of Kourtney Kardashian, and North West is the three-year-old daughter of Kim. Anyone who has been keeping up with this busy brood knows that these two kiddos absolutely adore each other and they’ve already become the best of friends. On top of that, North and Penelope are both quite possibly two of the cutest little girls in the whole world. Don’t believe us? Here are 15 times North and Penelope were just too cute to handle.
15 When They Were Disney Princesses
Everyone knows that all little girls dream of becoming a Disney princess, and for North West and Penelope, their dreams came true faster than they could say "bippity boppity boo"! The lucky little ladies took a visit to the famous Bippity Boppity Boutique where they all got character makeovers, complete with sparkles and crowns for all. North, Penelope, and a friend looked like perfect little princesses during a family trip to Disneyland earlier this year. North chose to dress up as Elsa from Frozen fame, while Penelope kicked it old school as Princess Jasmine from the classic animated film, Aladdin. Kourtney and Kim took to social media to share pictures of their precious princesses… and the world seemed to have said “aww” in unison. There’s no doubt that two cutie patooties got the royal treatment at Disney because they totally are worth spoiling. Seriously, just look at them! They are too cute for words!
14 When They Were Running Wild
North and Penelope have definitely earned the title of being too cute to handle, and it’s pretty easy to see why. The paparazzi recently captured a marvelous moment featuring the girls running down the street while happily holding hands. Of course, North and Penelope are too cool for school and are already super fashion-forward when it comes to their style. North resembles a rebel without a cause as she jets off in a black leather jacket with flames on the sleeves, cut off denim shorts and French braids in her hair. Penelope is equally as adorable (and all smiles) while wearing a black tank paired with a leather skirt. These girls are young, wild, and fearlessly living life and having fun. Their friendship goes far beyond just being blood relatives, and they are totally #goals, no matter how old you are. We seriously can’t get enough of this too-cute twosome because they are the most adorable thing we’ve ever laid eyes on.
13 When They Were Team Khloe
When it comes to incredibly cute kiddos, few can compete with North West and Penelope Disick. North and Penelope were the definition of adorable when they helped Khloe Kardashian promote the release of her newest book, Strong Looks Better Naked. While taking a trip down to the bookstore, the little divas in the making were all smiles as they proudly displayed their Aunt Koko’s most recent publication for the entire world to see. Of course, they’re both much too young to read (or understand) any of Khloe’s book, but they sure do look super cute holding it up. The darling duo wore matching white tops and looked pretty pumped to show support for their fun-loving relative. Seriously, how could you not just want to pinch their adorable little cheeks? North and Penelope are already giving their famous family members a serious run for their money because they are well on their way to becoming our hands-down favorite members of the Kardashian clan.
12 When They Were Ballerina Besties
Just when you think that North and Penelope couldn’t possibly get any cuter, we see them on their way to ballet class and we totally stand corrected. It really doesn’t get much better than this. These pretty little ladies were decked out from head to toe in ballerina attire – from fashionable top-knots to frilly tutus, all the way down to adorable ballerina slippers. North wore all white with a custom miniature Balmain blazer over her dance costume. Miss Penelope looked cute as can be in a black tutu with pink ballet slippers. Both girls were accompanied by Kim Kardashian as they walked along and captured the attention of the paparazzi. The best part has to be how grown up they look in these photos. It’s pretty easy to see that they take their dance class super, super seriously (and we love them for it). These trendy tykes are definitely the future stars of the Kardashian family, and they’ve already won us all over with their nonstop cuteness.
11 When They Were Ballerinas Again
Okay, let’s just face facts: these two girly-girls are super duper cute when they’re dressed up in tutus, and just one time on this list wasn’t enough. Penelope and North look twice as nice leaving their weekly dance class, this time, accompanied by Kourtney. North still rocked her white tutu while Penelope found the perfect occasion to wear pink. Miss West had her cute curls tamed in a top-knot while Lady Disick went au naturel and wore her blonde locks down. These besties since birth are probably wondering why the paparazzi always take their picture, but they are totally adorable and the world just can’t seem to get enough of them. Sure, their parents are global sensations, but we all know who the real stars are here. There’s no denying that Nori and P are two of the trendiest, most precious, and some of the cutest youngsters in the world. If you never dreamed of wanting a little girl of your own before, take one look at these cuties and your biological clock will kick into high gear.
10 When They Dressed Up As Skunks
Let’s be honest, parents love to dress their little ones up in super cute costumes for Halloween for as long as they possibly can (of course until they start choosing their own). It’s pretty much tradition that moms take plenty of embarrassing snapshots of their youngsters decked out in cute ensembles, and that’s exactly what Kim and Kourtney Kardashian did with their two daughters in 2014. North and Penelope looked like the sweetest little stinkers on the block when they both donned matching skunk getups (complete with fuzzy headwear and plush tails) while heading out for some trick-or-treat fun. Skunks are notorious for being quite stinky creatures, but we’re pretty sure that even that wouldn’t be enough to scare us away from these cute-as-a-button cousins. The fact that they’re holding hands in this picture will make just about anyone melt. Honestly, North West and Penelope Disick would win any Cutest Kid contest by a landslide in these amazingly cute skunk suits.
9 When One Seat Away Was Just Too Far
North and Penelope proved once again that they are the epitome of adorable during a family car ride last September. Khloe was driving and Kim was riding shotgun when the girls displayed just how close they really are. Each girl was in her own car seat on opposite sides of the car when they reached out and happily held hands. Obviously, this was a too-cute moment that needed to be documented and treasured for years to come, so Kim snapped a pic and shared it on social media. The friendship that North and Penelope share is so amazing and it’s super clear to see that even being one seat apart from each other was more than they could possibly bare. Penelope’s big bro can be seen in the far back looking less than impressed by his sister and cousin’s cute antics. Don’t worry Mason, you’re still pretty cute too… but the unbreakable bond between North and Penelope is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
8 When They Danced Till They Dropped
When you’re North West and Penelope Disick, the cuteness just comes naturally. They don’t even have to try but they totally always manage to steal our hearts, one cute photo-op at a time. The Kardashian’s recent trip to Cuba proved to be the perfect setting for some incredibly precious Nori and P moments, such as the time they took a family salsa class. The whole gang showed up ready to bust a move, and even Kanye West himself got in on the dancing action. But it was little North and Penelope who stole the show from their famous parents once they hit the dance floor. The little ones wore traditional Cuban dance attire – Penelope in a floor length pink skirt and ruffled belly shirt while North dazzled in a purple dress. The two girls looked super happy frolicking around on the dance floor while having the time of their young lives. What can we say, they’re way too cute to handle, and they definitely know it.
7 When They Were Beach Buds
North and Penelope are totally living large, and at just three and four years old, they are some of the most adorable little high-rollers you could possibly find. The sassy pair showed off their photogenic sides when they posed for photos during a trip to St. Barths last summer, while Kim shared the snaps on social media. The inseparable besties are seen here lounging in luxury on a red towel sprawled out on the beach. North is gleefully playing in the sand (as kids do), while Penelope sits and watches. Both future phenomes bring cuteness to a whole new level in their matching sunglasses and beach-bun hair. How precious is Penelope in her little black ruffle bikini with her white crochet cover-up? She’s barely out of diapers and she already has better style than any of us combined! We are super impressed by these fabulous kids, and they are undeniably top-notch in the cuteness department.
6 When They Hugged It Out
Could this quite possibly be one of the cutest photos of #cousinlove ever? We definitely think so. Not only are they the cutest twosome imaginable, but North and Penelope genuinely love each other. They’re practically stuck together like glue and they never miss an opportunity to hold hands, hang out, and just hug it out like good friends do. This sweet snapshot was taken right around Penelope’s third birthday, and North is showing her BFF some love and appreciation on her big day while perched on top of a kitchen island. Little Penelope gets engulfed in North’s loving arms during their adorable embrace while posing for the camera. It’s easy to see that these two snuggle monsters definitely captivate the world with their cuteness, and as they get older and their bond gets closer we can only imagine that they will continue getting even more precious as time goes on. We totally love it when Kim and Kourt share photos of North and Penelope’s adoration for one another, and seeing them hug definitely makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
5 When They Were Mermaids
It’s no secret that Penelope Disick and North West both have an obsession with mermaids, so when their birthdays rolled around this year, Kim and Kourt decided to throw the girls a joint mermaid themed birthday bash. The enchanting under the sea concept for the party was a huge hit, complete with mermaid costumes, a mermaid cake, and even a ‘real life’ mermaid swimming around in a nearby pool. The birthday beauties were totally enamored by seeing an actual mermaid before their very eyes, and neither of them could look away as they stared at her in utter amazement. It was a seriously cute moment that will forever go down in North West and Penelope’s birthday history, especially since their shared party was unforgettable in every way. Both girls were decked out in their finest mermaid attire, which included pink and green glittery tails and seashell bikini tops. There’s no question that Penelope and North are very lucky little ladies, and their cuteness blows everyone else out of the water.
4 When They Were Poolside Pals
It’s unbelievably cute that North and Penelope do pretty much everything together, especially since they’re super close in age just like their moms Kourtney and Kim were growing up. It must be tough being two of the cutest kids in the world, so North and P relax by hanging out by the pool when they get a rare moment to lay low. The girls are just casually sitting with their feet in the water, as North rests her arm on her best friend’s shoulder. Their cuteness is completely through the roof…maybe it’s because they look like a spitting image of their moms only shrunk down small. Always fashionistas, the girls are rocking their finest swimwear: North in a cool plum colored two-piece and Penelope in a floral one-piece. These mini misses live the life that most of us could only dream of, and they’re not even five yet! We’re totally envious of North and Penelope’s amazingly lavish lifestyle, and these super sweet chicks never fail to make us all burst at the seams at their incredible cuteness.
3 When They Bonded After Bath Time
This picture is enough to make pretty much anyone misty because it’s just all kinds of adorable. North West and Penelope Disick are lying on a bed together after a pre-bedtime bath. The super clean and super cute kiddos are wrapped up in towels while lovingly gazing at each other. The icing on the cake is that young North is reaching out for her cousin and attempting to pet her on the head. If this doesn’t make you say “aww” out loud then we don’t know what would. This amazing snapshot captured an amazing calm and gentle moment between two besties, and it’s incredibly cute in every way. It’s awesome that the girls spend so much time together, are close in age, and have an amazing relationship that goes far beyond just being cousins. It’s super obvious that North and Penelope are besties above everything, and their love runs deep. We just can’t help it, they are definitely way too cute to handle!
2 When They Won Halloween
For children, Halloween is an amazing time of year because they get to dress up in fun costumes and get tons of candy while trick-or-treating. If you’re a Kardashian kid, it’s pretty safe to say that your holidays crush everyone else’s. Last October, Kourtney took to Instagram to share an awesome picture of her family dressed up in their Halloween getups ... and the youngsters were the stars of the show. Kourt and her kids (including sons Mason and Reign) were all a family of superheroes, while North was a precious pink and white unicorn. There’s no doubt that Penelope and North have to do everything together –and of course, that includes celebrating Halloween in style. Penelope has on a cute little superhero tutu that features gold stars, a lightning bolt belt, a cape, and a mask to keep her identity incognito. Let’s face it, all of these kids are beyond cute, but North and P have to win the award for our favorite little trick-or-treaters.
1 When They Were Super Little
North West and Penelope’s friendship dates way back to infancy, and we got an intimate look at the girl’s early stages of bonding when Kim shared this amazing photo on social media. This was the debut of their first public picture together, and it’s pretty much perfect in every way. In the snapshot, petite Penelope holds her new cousin North in her arms and the two cuties pose for the camera. This picture is heartwarming beyond belief because it’s one of the first (of many) times that North and Penelope would be photographed enjoying each other’s company. Penelope is decked out in a cute little grey sweater while tiny North gazes into the camera while wearing an all-white onesie and a bib. These girls have proven time and time again that they are the epitome of cuteness, and we’re sure that we haven't seen the last of these crazy adorable moments.
