Christmas Eve Day

We really try to see my cousin Layne and her kiddos every time we are in Florida. Sometimes it doesn't work out, sometimes we meet half way, and sometimes she comes up to my parent's house. She has invited us every time down to her house and it just feels too far to drive after the usual Florida traveling. But it was time. We needed to make the trek down to check out her beautiful house. And it was so worth it. The kids had a blast hanging with their second cousins who welcomed them into their home and their toys with open arms. Of course, I always enjoy being with my cousin...we can go forever without seeing each other or talking and fall right back into things like we haven't been apart. It's nice.

Sophia hung out with Sadie and showed her what it's like to be girly. Sadie was in love! Here they are having some down time together.
Layne's youngest (3) and Skyler hung out a lot. They even look a lot a like which is crazy!
One happy kid. And I love this firetruck toy!
Noah is the oldest. Sweet and very smart kiddo.
Some women are very natural mothers. My cousin definitely falls into that category.
Ok, creepiest, but a pretty fun hanukkah gift that had to remain in Florida. Nemo is a remote control fish that 'swims' through the air. It's crazy! Except the last night, around midnight, I woke suddenly to the crashing of our suitcases outside our door. I sat up only to see Nemo swimming slowly and creepily into our room....no remote controlling it and it was originally hanging in a room on the other side of the house. It was something I'll never forget!
