Christmas Vacation with Cousins!


It was SOOO great having Amber, Tony and kids here for about a week of our Christmas vacation. The kids have so much fun together and we love hanging out with Tony and Amber!

Vivian is starting to talk so much! I had a great time with her and she really seemed to warm-up to me which was so FUN! What a sweetheart she is...




Coffee Time with Opa at Starbucks...










Gabrielle is the best bis sis and big cousin to these two!



Fun on the Dairy....






So much fun, imaginary play, games and electronic play at home...




The littler kids loved spending hours in Gabrielle and Genevieve's bedroom playing and playing. It was mostly Nia and Nev who played imaginary games while Viv soaked it all in and J tried to convince the girls to play his games :)....






Willem takes good care of his littler cousins :)

We were treated to an AWESOME Duck win vs. FSU in the National College Football Semi-final...

Genevieve is Six!

Our spunky, loving, smart 'baby' is SIX years old! How did that happen?! She is such a JOY and just a lot of fun to have around! ON her birthday, Nev woke up to the kitchen decorated in a 'Frozen' theme and she got to open a couple gifts. I joined her at school later in the day where we had treats and her classmates sang to her. After school was the school's annual Christmas Program and a trip to DQ! A couple days later we had a family birthday party along with Selene and then a few days after Christmas, Genevieve's four best friends came over for the afternoon for a party at our house! 

Here are some stats on Nev: 

Weight: 50 lbs. 

Height: 47 inches

Reading: she's getting so close! Nev knows all her sounds and letters and is working on sounding out words. She has read the first couple of Bob books and should be really reading soon :)

Friends: Cousins Jacoby and Nia, and Kyra, Hannah, Sophie and Libby from school are her besties!

Food: Nev does not like much fruit and only likes broccoli and green beans for veggies. She favorite foods are spaghetti, mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, quesadillas, pizza, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon.

Favorite toys: Barbies and other dolls like them, legos, stuffed animals, and she LOVES drawing and coloring. 

Nev is just so much fun and such a love! We love her so very much!
