More Holiday Memories...and SAD, SAD GOODBYES!!

We had a wonderful Christmas and had so much fun seeing family. These are some pictures of Christmas we spent with Ben's family. I think Parker has gotten over his stranger anxiety because he was completely comfortable with everyone from the moment we walked in the door. He had lots of fun reading stories with Grandpa and was always giving Grandpa loves.

He had so much fun playing with all of his cousins. He has a cousin named Ella, which is funny because he has a friend named Ella. He would point to his cousin and say, "Ella." Then he would say, "Church. Ella." Then, he would laugh. I think that was his way of distinguishing the two Ella's, it was quite funny.

Anyway, Grandma does daycare in her home and has two rooms full of toys, and dress up clothes. Anything you can think of she has, and Parker loved the attention he got from his cousins and I loved having a break. So, they would get dressed up in different costumes and come up stair and put on a play...I forgot the name of the show but, it was hilarious.

Parker and Aunt Wendy and Parker with his brand new cousin Emma. So Cute!! Looking at this picture made me want to have another baby....I am not sure I am ready though. He will make a great big brother. I think he loved on his two smaller cousins a little much.

We Miss You Aunt Rocky!!

My sister left Tuesday and I...Parker misses her so much. She spent a lot of time with him and he loved every minute of it. Rock, has an I-Phone and downloaded the song, Beat it by Michael Jackson and they danced to it 100 times a day and ever since she left we have listened to it 100 times a day. Yesterday, when we were at the store in the check-out, he told the woman behind us to 'beat it.' I told her it was his new favorite song and not that he was actually telling her to 'beat it.' It was actually kind of cute.

He wakes up every morning and says, "Ocky. Nance. Beat It." We went over to mom and dad's for dinner tonight and we walked in the door calling, "Ocky." and looked around the house for her. She called later that night and he talked to her and when she told him that she had to leave he started crying. I am so happy they got a chance to bond. She was so good to him and gave him so much love and attention. We miss her so much!!
