Cousins Escapade

My goodness, the month of December has been a time for family and frolic. When two sets of cousins left, another one came to join in the merriment! To add to the excitement, we had one of our biggest snowstorms in Virginia! Here's Patrick in our front yard:

Like father like sons. Micah and Caelan came out to help.

I wasn't prepared for Caelan's outfit yet,
so the little guy had rain boots.


The snow kept them inbound quite a bit, so we had to be creative.
They would, however, dream of being outside.


But while indoors, they practiced their artistic skills on...gingerbread cookies...



And on ornaments...


and on each other!


The cousins bonded.


Stuck together at the hips, really.


When they exhausted all the toys in the play room,
they made it a fortress instead.


They soared to new heights.

And this was the week BEFORE Christmas!
More pictures of the Christmas celebration coming up.
I'm working on a video again! :)
