With our growing families (well, technically I think we have all stopped growing), we need a lot of space to gather for holidays. Uncle Billy and Aunt Maria graciously offered to host an early Christmas celebration at their house. This was the perfect setting to enjoy time with family in the sunshine!
We loved celebrating Christmas at the Lawes' beautiful home.
Kennedy didn't mind letting Aunt Kristen get her baby girl fix!
Guess some of Journee's toys are a bit small for her oldest cousin!
There's a theme at gatherings we attend. Kennedy gets passed around and loves every last second of it.
Charley and Braden rough housed in the trampoline, while Journee did tricks on the side.
Meanwhile, Kennedy did what she excels at...looking adorable.
Looking super cute must run in the family...
This picture requires an explanation. Cameron doesn't like smiling for photos, so John-Paul, Kristen, and Tucker did what any great family members would do...acted like complete idiots to try to get Cam to crack a quick smile. Certainly, it had to work...
...or not. Not even a courtesy laugh for strong effort?? Tough crowd!
Turns out, Uncle Billy is the family's comedian.
Uncle Billy continued his hilarious shenanigans later in the house. Had Cam in stitches.
Even Miles found Uncle Billy to be hilarious.
Uncle John-Paul tried again...
Those eyelashes...
Well, at least someone considered John-Paul to be the super fun uncle!
Getting creative with toys he was too big for.
Charley had the pool to himself momentarily.
How many cousins fit in a small inflatable pool?! Too many, according to Journee.
Just a quick snuggle from Cam because he was ready to test out all the toys. Journee has quite the selection of activities to do in this wonderland they refer to as a loft...It's basically Toys R Us.
Kennedy found a quiet spot, a chair and a book...this cute nerdiness didn't last long though.
Cameron couldn't get enough of Uncle Billy!
It's safe to assume Journee doesn't hang out the window of her playhouse, but the boys sure treated it more like a jungle gym.
It is impossible not to love sweet Tucker!
Kennedy could stay here a while, with the endless fun their home and yard have to offer!
I won't complain if there's a future chef in the family.
I found Uncle John-Paul and Aunt Kristen off to the side trying to sneak in a quiet lunch. Gotta take those kidless moments when they come. The cousins were all having a blast together!
Cameron knew Aunt Kristen has great experience giving big squeezy hugs to little boys.
Kennedy really enjoyed hanging with Uncle John-Paul. Maybe she should spend a weekend with the Nelsons?
Sorry Grandma, after hours of playing and opening gifts, this is the best shot you are going to get with your beautiful grandkids.
Not going to be able to pin this girl down now that she discovered the art of tearing open gifts.
One final adventure before concluding our Christmas celebration.
They took Journee's new toy for a spin.
