All of my cousins on my mom's side of the family got together on Tuesday for our Cousins day. April and I hosted a cousins day back in 2005 - forever ago - before Riley and Wyatt. So cousins day was way overdue!!! Cousins day started at Mark and Tina's house for some gingerbread house decorating. The two youngest cousins snuggled up on the couch together - I use the term snuggle very loosely!! Riley loves Wyatt sooooooo much : )
Getting ready to go in for a kiss.......
Whispering sweet nothings into Wyatt's ear!
Singing jingle bells together and Wyatt trying to escape from all the lovin'.
Zach's Christmas tree.
Brooke concentrating hard!
Jonathan's house took a tumble and Hayden clearly is too cool to take pictures. Matt (throwing the peace sign) not too cool for pictures - thank you Matt!
The house that wasn't.
More concentration and some mean decorating skills.
Matt and Hayden showing off their gingerbread house. Again, Hman was too cool for pictures.
Brooke and her final product - she took a long time to perfect her house.
While the decorating was taking place in the other room, the smallest cousins were playing house. There were a lot of directions given by the little girl to the little boy - who had no idea what she was saying! It is going to be fun when Wyatt starts talking and these two have conversations with each other!!
Uncle Brady joined us via Skype from Qatar - Riley loves talking to Uncle Brady on skype as you can tell - she is up in his face!
Wyatt wrestling with his cousin Zach. Zach is so cute with Wyatt, I really enjoyed watching him play and interact with Wyatt.
Some of the guys hanging out on the stairs (and Riley in the background doing who knows what) - Zach, Jonathan and Wyatt.
Riley getting ready to go see "Anna Claus". I couldn't get her to look at me for a picture but you can see the outfit which was adorable! Love the boots.
After the gingerbread houses, we headed to Bass Pro Shop to see Santa. Miss Riley LOVES Christmas but not so much a fan of "Anna Claus." She was very concerned as we waited in line to get our picture taken.
Cousin picture with Santa! April calls our group of cousins the oldies, the middles and the littles. The oldies consists of myself, April and Jonathan (and Jacob by marriage! He was working so not present for cousins day). The middles consists of Zach, Brooke, Matt and Hayden. And the littles would be Riley and Wyatt. Wide range of ages!!! We are all first cousins except for Wyatt.
Everyone got their individual pictures with Santa - this would be Wyatt's 3rd time to see Santa this year. It just never gets old!
But when the boy gets tired, its time to be done with Santa pictures!
I took these next few pictures for Jacob. Wyatt doing things his daddy loves to do! A little bow hunting if you will : ) Wyatt and Zach.
Riding around in your ATV at the deer lease!
Taking the boat out for a little fishing.
Getting kissed by the ladies with some lipstick evidence! His daddy doesn't do this any more : )
This would be the lady that left her lipstick mark - Wyatt's Great Aunt Mel! Super cute picture.
Cousin day was cut short for April, Wyatt and myself because we had to head north to change clothes and load up to go meet Jacob at the fire station so that we could start our road trip to Colorado!
