Christmas shenanigans and Christmas with the Wolcott family!

Let's start this post off with a picture of my baby boy having fun watching the
ducks at one of the most awesome parks in the Houston area...Burroughs Park!
We love it there and are looking forward to living closer to it one day!

Daddy told Ella to draw a monkey...

We had a very exciting mid-November with the birth of my new little nephew,
Ella and Parker's new cousin and Ethan's new baby brother, Eli!
As soon as I got the word that Leah was in labor, I headed over to their house,
we picked up Ethan from school and had chick-fil-a.  What's even cooler is that
Ella and Parker got to spend the night at Ethan's house since mommy and daddy were
in the hospital.  They were so so so excited!  Granny came home from the hospital
late that night and spent the night too.  We all slept together, me and the 3 kids that is in
Blake and Leah's bed! The next day, we all went up to the hospital in the afternoon to meet baby
Eli!

just some park fun...

One weekend all 3 Siha kiddos came over to spend the night and of course
they all get a little stir crazy in the house so I took them to the park for a
little while and of course made them pose for a picture!

Pawpaw and Daddy putting up the Christmas tree!

This must have been the first really cold day that Parker and I
spent outside and I just remember only having a thin jacket so I put Ell's blanket over
my head!  Parker didn't seem to be bothered by it...lol

The next time it got really cold, we had a plan!
I took my little Peanut to a jump house (open play)
and he jumped, slid down slides and climbed all of the place
for a good 2 1/2 hours!
Nap time came quick that day :-)

Miss these babies!
