Weenie Roast in the Middle of Winter!

Our last night we went over to Sean and Kyra's for a weenie roast! It was pretty cold out there, but still fun to sit around and make a hot dog over a fire!


The boys didn't seem to mind the cold much


Brynna got there a little late, but there was no shortage of food!


Lincoln playing his piano!


Chloe and Elijah checking out all of Lincoln's toys!

A perk about going home...


is that I get to see this great friend!

and I convinced her to give me her fabulous hat that she had made with her own hands!

More of the cousins...

All three cousins!

Having fun!


Matching little boys


Eli was 7 months old in this picture!


Not crawling yet, but working on it!

Chloe Loving Lincoln

Here are some pictures of Chloe loving/mauling her little cousin Lincoln! I don't think he appreciated all the attention!



Hug


keep hugging, no matter what!


I think Lincoln is wondering what just happened!

Spelunking!

We were looking for something to do while we were at my parents and there was an article in their local paper about several different caves you can check out, so we decided to try our hand at spelunking!


The beginning of the cave! It was really cold and windy at the entrance and I made the HUGE mistake of telling Chloe that bears live in caves (always trying to educate, you know!) so she was NOT very happy about being in the cave at first. It took a lot of talking about how no bears lived in this cave and that Thomas the train goes into caves (we know he goes through tunnels, but we were desperate!) before she calmed down! She stills will tell me that there are NO bears in the cave!




Lincoln all bundled up and ready for a ride.


Our fearless leader!


Brynna and Chloe checking out the cave


Mom, Chloe, Brynna, Kyra, Sean and Lincoln at the end of the cave.

Buddies

Just a few more cute pictures of Elijah and Lincoln playing together. It's going to be so fun as they grow up for them to be so close in age! They'll always have a buddy!





Both of the boys watching Grammy as she makes them smile





Chewing on stuff is fun!

Happy New Year!

Ringing in the new year with fireworks and shotguns!

Making some noise!


Eli slept right through it all!


David, Nicole, Julie, and Brynna

Sledding!

Since we finally found some sleds we thought we'd better put them to good use! We bundled Eli and Chloe up and headed for the sledding hill!

It was a beautiful sunny day, but COLD! Grammy keeping Eli warm!


Cute boy!
