Having A Blast With Cousins

Just before Christmas (and after as well), we had a fun little visit with Layne, Kathy and cousins Lydia and Lindsey. They stopped through on their way to visit Kathy's family in Indiana. As soon as you tell Lucas and Sam their cousins are coming they stand at the door watching or asking every 5 seconds when they will be there, so we usually don't say anything until they are down the street. :) Lindsey (7) and Lydia (10) are amazing mother helpers and so good with both boys. They truly love Lucas and Sam and that feeling is mutual on all ends. They all have so much fun with each other and when the cousins are around, I every now and again need to check on the boys or I would never see them, ha! During our visit, we did a lot of playing both inside and outside, some shopping and a few visits to some fun kid friendly places around town. We also did an early Christmas celebration with each other. Below are some cute pictures of our fun times with everybody.

Sam with books all around him, couldn't be more appropriate for our boy. I have never met a kid more obsessed with books than Sam, it's so funny!

Lucas and Sam with their Uncle Layne. They love the attention they get from Uncle Layne.

Can't believe I got 4 kids to smile at once...it's amazing what opening presents will do, haha!
