Fun with Nanna and Cousins...

Last week Nanna came to our house to keep Cooper for a few days while I worked and when she headed home Saturday Anna Lauren went home with her and said she was going to stay 5 nights. Well, she only got to spend 4 nights before Daddy and Mommy spoiled her fun, but she still had a good time with her Nanna and cousins for the 4 nights and 5 days she was with them. And what is really impressive is that Nanna and Aunt Paula took pictures to document the "fun" memories they made during this Christmas season...what better time of the year to be with your family!

Saturday night Nanna and Anna Lauren kept Bently while Joey and Barbie went to a Christmas party. And guess what Nanna did to the girls...yep, what we did every Saturday night...pink sponge rollers!

Supposedly both girls loved them but took them out before they went to sleep...oh...they'll have to learn how to sleep in them so they have pretty girls on Sunday morning. Think this was more fun for Barbie and me because it reminded us of our childhood.

Every year we go visit Brookhaven's Winter Wonderland (more lights than you could ever imagine)...this year it was warm when Nanna took Anna Lauren so they got to get out and play / take pictures...

Anna Lauren told me she was calling her MeMe while in this helicopter...

This year has been "special" because Anna Lauren is beginning to understand the "true" meaning of Christmas...

Mrs. Claus...

Santa's reindeer...and yes, it is a bit on the "tacky" side but the kids LOVE it...

Aunt Paula had "cousin" cooking making day on Monday...all 5 of them made cookies together while poor Cooper was stuck at work with Mommy! We missed out on the fun, but I'm so glad Anna Lauren got to spend this special time with her cousins.

Proud of her cookies....

Jake had the winning gingerbread man...

The finished cookies...

After cookies, they headed to the playground at Aunt Paula's school...and yes, Ashton is a little big for this tractor but looks to me as if he was still having fun!


My sweet little monkey!

Fun day with cousins...Anna Lauren, Ashton, Bently, Jake and Reid...

And a day wouldn't be complete without "silly" faces!
