A Fun Day With Cousins

My sister Lindsey and her family have recently moved back down here, so they came over for the day two weeks ago. The came bearing gifts for Piper since her birthday was the next week. Piper was pretty excited to see her pretty pink bag, but still a little timid about her cousins being here.
Brody and Brooklyn helped her with opening it since they just couldn't wait.Oh a pretty picture by Brooklyn. Great job writing all those P's and 2's Brookie!Piper got a darling pink outfit that she just had to try on right away. She is showing us her pretty outfit. Can't you tell how excited she is? She is such a girl!
All dressed up ready to pose for pictures. Aunt Lindsey made her adorable headband that she is so obsessed with right now.After present time, they were off to play toys. They were having so much fun we had to pry them away just to go get some lunch.We went over to the kids favorite fast food, McDonalds of course, to eat and play outside. Brody had been asking forever to go and I thought today was the perfect day.

Brooklyn and Brody having too much fun out in the play area. Easton kept wanting to climb the tunnel, but never knew quite how to do it.Piper was surprisingly climbing everywhere and having so much fun.Brody found her climbing height to be unsafe, so he helped her back down many times. I love this picture! It shows me how much he loves and protects her. He is always sticking up for Piper when other kids aren't. It always makes me smile. :) What a good big brother.There is cute Easton again. Ever since he learned how to walk, this kid is everywhere! It is funny to see him like that, since the last time we saw him in Sept. he was just learning.I see Piper!
After wearing these kids out, we went back to my house and sat outside watching them ride bikes while Easton napped. It was a beautiful day to be sitting outside and we enjoyed every minute of it. Then it was back in side for more playing and getting dinner ready before John got home. After dinner, we showed Lindsey all about the Kinect and we got our grove on. It was fun times. They ended up leaving just before bedtime, so they could make their drive home a peaceful one. Thanks for hanging out with us Lindsey and for the adorable outfit for Piper!
