halloween

 

Myles and Analiese joined us on Halloween! 

Myles was Superman!

 

Analiese was Aurora.  So sweet.

Liz was Tangled.  When I asked her to smile and look happy, this is the look I got.

Kate was Cinderella.

 

the kids' table

Family came over this weekend to celebrate Aunt Kerry's birthday.  In a moment of brilliance I decide to set up the kids' table in the entry way, which was far away from the adults.  

They could play, giggle, and eat in their own space.  And, the adults could carry on conversations without constant interruptions.

I think they liked eating at the kids' table.  I know I liked the arrangement!

jumping cousins

I got out my camera, told them to jump, and I snapped away. 

Mr. Myles doesn't jump yet, but he is in constant motion.  

Getting a picture of him was a task.

Oh, Mr. Myles.

cousins

 Cousins Analiese and Myles came over this weekend.

 The girls played with princesses.

 Myles spent most of his time climbing.

 We ate some lunch.

Kate gave Liz and Analiese manicures.

They finally sat still when I turned on cartoons.

We also "exercised".

I hope Isaac and Christy let us babysit again.

cousins

Grandma Terri and Aunt Kerry bought matching Christmas outfits for the cousins.

Capturing a picture of these four was a workout!

Good grief!  Could these four be any cuter?

I couldn't help myself.  I had to add some mustache action.

happy birthday

It was a struggle...

There was some crying and maneuvering...

But, we managed to get a decent shot.

Happy Birthday Aunt Kerry!!!

happy birthday

We celebrated cousin Analiese's birthday this weekend!
Happy Birthday, Analiese!

We then, of course, had to take some group shots of the cousins. Why do we try to do this? The result is always chaos!

For the grand finale, we decided to have all three girls ride the bike. The bike is actually a plant stand. Yes, we are crazy!

mustache

I just couldn't resist! I had to do another mustache picture. Enjoy!

happy birthday

Happy Birthday, Grandma Terri!

We love to party with you!

The cousins got together for a Christmas photo shoot over the weekend.

Not everyone wanted to cooperate.

There was lots of squirming.

There were some disagreements

But, we managed to get one good picture!
