Ohio Trip: Part 3

Not only do we get to celebrate Christmas, we got to celebrate the 1st birthday of our nephew Ethan. Hannah got all dressed up for the occasion.  She was so cute, that daddy requested to have a picture taken with her!

All dolled up!

She loves her daddy...

...and her grandpa!

Here's the birthday boy! He is so stoic that he did not even give a smirk to uncle Clay even though Clay tried really hard

Waiting for pizza

Who is this girl and why is she holding me? ;)

The birthday boy all dressed in chocolate!

Ohio Trip: Part 2

Someone really likes his laptop

Watching Baby Can Read video...he likes the BIG words on the BIG screen

Airplane Carter!

Poking Grandpa's eye out just like he does on skype

This girl was so hungry and I couldn't keep up. We tried avocado but most of it ended up on the bib.

She had fun trying!

Ohio Trip: Part 1

Packed like sardines, we set off for the 8 hour trek to Ohio. Clay only had to rearrange the car 3 times in order to fit all our stuff. And guess what...the 8 hour drive took exactly that...8 hours! With a 5 month old and a 2 year old it was an unexpected surprise! 

Clay drove the entire way

My camera didn't do this justice...it was beautiful

Potty break! 

playing on his new laptop

sound asleep!

5 month girl

I had to get these posted before she turned 6 months... :)

you are making us do this again?

AND I have to touch her???

We aren't liking this

Seriously...get her off me

Well....she is kind of cute

and she seems to like m

Happy Now!

I even think she is deserving of a kiss!

We like each other!

So cute!

Present from Gigi

Gigi is Carter and Hannah's great grandma from Texas. She graciously surprised them with stuffed animals that respond to your voice. We gave Carter the option to pick which one would be his and which one would be baby's.  We thought it would be a good opportunity to learn how to share with his sister.  Did he get it?  Yeah, he got it. He got that we didn't let him keep both animals...not fair!

Cool! I get 2 new animals!

WHAT?!?! I have to give one to HER?

But I don't want to! These are both so cool that I want them both!

Ok, I guess I'll pick the bear...he's pretty cool

It's been a while since I've lit candles around the house. We were having company so I wanted to get the house smelling good and festive. This little guy found it fascinating.  He ran straight to it and started...
