Christmas with Cousins!

Knowing we were headed to Bremerton, Emma had been dying to play with her cousin Maddy. Although she didn't see much of them with all the hectic christmas schedules-she was able to get in a little playtime during the opening of presents! Go figure that when we pulled up we realize we forgot our ENTIRE bag of clothing-for all of us!!!! So Auntie Michelle went to the store and bought the kids some jammies and undies to get us through the weekend. What a lifesaver! Plus Em was delighted by the Christmas Tink jams with sparkly buttons! lol!

(the cute christmas bucket from Auntie Ashley-see, I told you I rarely buy anything for my kids! They are well loved on by their Aunties!)

Em & Maddy coincidentally both got Snow White costumes as gifts, so it was fun to see both girls in their new dress up. They had fun playing Princess & the Frog with Maddy's new Disney Store figurines (which Emma pretty much coveted and has put on her birthday wish list!), Bryce's favorite toy from Grandma & Papa was his giant SUPER WHY action figure. (He held it the entire car ride home today too!)

(...and chocky)

(all the kids got Zu Zu pets...)

(Bryce LOVED this pirate book called "Pirates Don't Wear Diapers"! :)

(look at the fun Tinkerbell Cafe that Maddy got!)

(Bryce's new additions to his GeoTrax set...)

(the 2 princesses playing "princess Tiana" together)

Emma's view of Christmas dinner....(all photos I got of Christmas dinner were courtesy of Em's photograhy skills!)

(yes-that is Emma's plate-she ate 23 of Grandma's famous rolls and....yep-GUMMY WORMS!)

This is the toy Emma picked out for Maddy but DESPERATELY wanted herself (so Momma headed to Freddies and picked one up-hey-It's Christmas-don't judge me! :)



She has napped with Ariel, and bathed with Ariel, sang Ariel lullabies, and tucked Ariel in to watch movies together....

After the christmas morning present madness, I took Stephanie & EmmaLee to see the new Princess & The Frog movie (once again) since Steph hadn't seen it yet. Steph brought treats for them and Em had a fantastic time with a cousin she doesn't see very often. Steph was such a helper and so responsible. We wish she lived closer-she'd really come in handy! :) The girls both enjoyed the movie and Steph got a kick out of how excited Em was to see it for the second time.

Another whirlwind trip-but the kids had fun nonetheless!
