We Love Cousins!

We had a great cousin week!  The three oldest and I finally made it to "The Hobbit," thanks for my sister watching the three little girls.  Normally when the big kids have gone to a movie we'll take the little girls to one too, but I don't even know of something worthwhile showing right now.  When we first mentioned going to "Hobbit," Erin asked what movie they were going to see, and I told her they'll be going to their aunt's house.  She was just as excited, if not more!, about that.  They love playing with her two little boys.

Very sadly, Jamie was out of town and missed out on going with us.  Every time we were free the past several weeks, someone was sick, so we finally just grabbed the chance while we had it.  Looking forward to watch it with him, even if it's on DVD and not in the theater.

Grandma and Grandpa's house is always a great place to be with cousins.  I caught this unfocused picture of Madeleine and her buddy hanging out upstairs.  That spot is always a great place to tease and be teased from everyone below.  "Get my toes!"

This week was extra exciting because two cousins we used to see a lot came up to visit for a few days.  They even came with us to choir, and one went to activity days with Carolyn.  Carolyn and Erin also gave them crochet lessons.

Another super great thing about Grandma and Grandpa's house is that they have a wonderful sledding hill.  The kids get cold and they can come in without having to drag everyone else home too.  And mom can take fun pictures from inside.  :)

So nice to get to visit with them for a few days.  We sure love and miss them!

Random shot - we were eating popsicles for our family home evening treat, and Melanie noticed hers had a face on it.
