Pre-Christmas Road Trip

We made a short trip before Christmas to Missouri.  My parents and the boys left with an extra day to stop and see my Grandpa and Aunt Rita & Uncle Jerry.   Of course the highlight was for the boys to see the cows.  They also got a ride in the back of the pick up truck.  Quinton didn't want to leave the truck when we returned to the house.  We might have a truck man on our hands.

The second part of the trip was to Branson, MO to meet up with my cousin, Tamara and her family along with my aunt and uncle and cousins.  We had rented a house and just were able to hang out, eat too much food and visit.  Also seeing baby Liam was special too.  Seeing the kids all hang out and play was special and nice to repeat the tradition of cousins spending time together.  I have such good memories of growing up with my cousins that I hope for our kids to have that same experience....even if it's with second cousins.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Hanna didn't think her actual potato head was as funny as her uncles did!
 


To build or to eat....that was the ongoing debate

Love that they cousins are old enough to be at the kid table.  I think all of us have fond memories of the kid table....

Playing Together

Going through my photos from the past couple months I realized how much the two boys really do play together.  I love they like to be near each other and interested in what the other is doing.  As you'll see...sometimes they just play near each other.  Quinton likes to be doing whatever his big brother is doing.  And Dominic can be really kind and helpful to Quinton.  We still have our moments when they don't share or play well too!

But I guess there is worse trouble they could get into
