Just hanging around

One of the most amazing things about kids

is that they can find fun with nothing more than a tree and each other.

Cousins

Grace and Stephen had a wonderful time playing together this week.

In fact, they were usually inseparable.

That's how best buds roll, y'know.

Actually, all four "big" cousins played together nonstop.

They wanted to pack as much fun in while they could.

Of course, that doesn't mean they enjoyed getting their pictures taken all the time.  I have to pack that in during our short time together, too.

Scarlett's ready for Santa

Here is Scarlett all dressed up and ready for Santa Claus.

He'll be coming to visit before we know it.

This sweet little girl is definitely on the "Nice" list.  Wouldn't you agree?

And if Santa doesn't spoil her rotten I'm sure her grandparents, aunts and uncles certainly will.

Sweet Scarlett

One of the highlights from our trip was finally meeting our new niece.

This is sweet Scarlett.  Isn't she precious?

At just 6 weeks old she's really gained a lot of head control.

And she's always really alert.

Such a tiny baby girl.  We love her dearly.

And I had the best time playing dress up with her.

I think she enjoyed it, too.

It's simply astounding how quickly they grow up.

So I took the time to capture those tiny little feet.

And that sweet little bum.  I can't wait to see you again Scarlett.  You be a good girl for your Mommy and Daddy and soon you'll have another little cousin just your size to play with.
