Adleigh and Aaron frequently had baby battles over people holding them/playing with them. Luckily they are both pretty light.
Grandma Cathy got Adleigh and Catherine matching Sparkly Princess shoes. They were in heaven!
Aunt Megan had an awesome idea of using cornstarch, water and food coloring as paint. Washes off really easily so they can get it everywhere: and they did!
Adleigh and her painted nose.
Grandpa Russell built a nice fire pit in our old sandbox and we enjoyed going out and roasting hot dogs, marshmallows and starbursts.
Grandpa also had lights strung down from our balcony for the Luau that he put on while we were there. My parents went on a cruise to Hawaii so my dad learned how to cook some of their favorite foods/desserts and showed us a video he made of their adventures. Yes, my dad has a selfie stick for his Go-Pro. :-)
Adleigh and her favorite Aunt Bubba. She was very festive for the Luau!
My sister Megan was trying to shoot some pictures of our sister Marah's new baby Russell. First Catherine joined and then off course Rosco needed to get in on the cuddling action.
More baby battles with Great Grandpa Scott! He is very good at spoiling his great grand children!
We had early Christmas and did a gift exchange since most of us wouldn't be together on Christmas.
Megan got me a very awesome Initial necklace off Etsy. It has three small hearts with the letters B, K and A. Guess I'll be needing to add another B to it in the near future! Brian was obviously really impressed... or jealous that he didn't think of the idea. ;-)
Besides Thanksgiving the main reason we all got together was for baby Russell's blessing day!
Adleigh loved this car but couldn't make it go on her own. So everyone spent lots of time pushing her around the yard in it.
Adleigh is obsessed with cats (and her father won't let her have one) so she was very excited whenever she got to see Grandma's cat Mulan. Sadly Mulan was not a big fan of Adleigh.
Adleigh was very helpful during bath time. But don't you dare try to wash her hair!
Grandpa & Grandma's house has lots of fun toys to play with.
She was spoiled and given a kitty kitty and a dog that she named Ma mo (Camo). They still come with us to lots of places.
Adleigh and Catherine were very cooperative shoppers in this cart.
Adleigh also learned how fun the iPad is during this trip.
Since we were all together for once, I convinced my parents that we needed to hire a real photographer instead of having my dad set up his camera on a timer and run! This is the whole group with my Maternal Grandma Jan and Paternal Grandpa Scott and Grandma Danice.
Happy Grandparents with their Grand babies. Obviously we have children that are super cooperative in photos...
Our family picture! Totally shocked that Adleigh actually smiled!
Until we tried a different pose! I tried to put this on the Christmas Card but Brian wouldn't let me.
Cute shot of the Squeaks.

Next time we're together we'll be holding two babies instead of two toddlers, or maybe two babies and two toddlers :)
