There were cousins to meet/remeet. Hannah and Katie have both turned out to be polite, fun, beautiful young ladies. They enjoyed watching their younger cousins, and O and H loved hanging out with them! Plus, they brought some new electronics for the kids to check out.
My kids loved "helping" Katie arrange the new presents under the tree!
More fun with Uncle Ken, Aunt Chantelle, and Uncle Michael. Hadley was pretty unsure about Uncle Ken. Not sure why. She was so stoic, while he was trying to impress her; it was pretty amusing for the rest of us. :)
Semi-formal cousin shots:
Hadley found plenty of new things to explore at Granna's house. Hello, childproofing!
And don't forget about quality time with Granna and Grandad.
The younger generation helping Granna with her iPad.
We even got in one night with the full family playing cards. The game was 31; the winner was Chantelle!
This rocking chair turned out to be H's nemesis. She would crawl up into the chair, but in so doing, the pillow slid down into her sitting space, so she would scream and throw the pillow out. But then she'd decide she wanted the pillow, so she would climb back down and repeat over and over. It was a love-hate relationship.
The big windows were another favorite since she could peek in at people inside the house. Top is playing with Aunt Chantelle and bottom waving to Grandad.
I loved this shot of the men doing the child-watching. :)
Owen was talking about the ranch must-do of shelling roasted peanuts on the porch before we even left Idaho. So glad that he remembered that tradition and was excited to partake! He could even shell most of his own, though the technique left much to be perfected.
And lastly, me and my brothers before we all went to our separate states again. Is it just me or did I get shorted on the tall genes? Pun intended! :)
Well, that's plenty of pictures for now. Guess I'll have to do another post just for Christmas next...
