We left for Alabama on Christmas day for TWO weeks of fun! The one nice thing about Ben's job being seasonal is that he actually gets time to do things like this and we could be gone for two weeks, no problem. The first week we were there all of Ben's siblings were there which means lots and lots of cousin time.
These two are as thick as thieves. I love it. They were playing outside (oh, to be in 60-70 degree weather again! *sigh*) one morning and I told them to look up and smile, and they together, without knowing, made this same face!
Taylor also had a BFF cousin, Kaiya. She is about 4 months older than Taylor and they were finally at that age where they would play together. Here they are in the room that Ben finished for his parents, playing with grandma. They both LOVE LOVE LOVE their Brama-as Taylor calls her! :) This big empty room was perfect for the kids to just run run run around in.
Kaiya loved to feed Taylor...
Aunt Lynlee reading a good night story to the boys...
And Aunt Lynlee also reading to the girls, looks like they were having a good time!!!
Aunt Meg brought these mustaches home from work for the kids to play with and they had a great time with them!
They made random appearances throughout the week...
This year each family was in charge of dinner for one night. On our night we decided to have a hot dog roast. It was a hit! We had so much fun. It's too hot to do stuff like this in the summertime down here, so the winter time it is! :)
Noah & Jonah...
Even Elijah got in on the action...
The grandkids that were there (missing 5)...
Tucker & Jonah...
Here are me and Kaiya. I took their family pictures one afternoon. I love me some Kaiya, she is the cutest thing ever-so social and friendly and talkative. We got along really well! :) And notice what my hair does down there; The humidity makes it curl and frizz!!!
A day in the life of Taylor and Kaiya while we were there. First, run around in just our diapers for a while in the morning after breakfast. Playing in grandma and grandpa's couch...
Next, eating lunch together, teaching each other bad habits. Here they are licking the applesauce off their plates...
Next, watching a movie with Brama (looks like a good one!)...
And finally, after a ton of playing and nap time and dinner time; taking a bath together and getting into matching pj's. We had to take the annual matching outfit picture. This year it was jammies...
We love us some cousin time!!!
