We love Cousins

I know that it's my fault because I am a hermit and don't have friends...but Paxton has a hard time not going on play dates. This is really because my schedule is opposite of everyone I know but play dates really don't happen much. So Paxton doesn't get play dates and besides school he doesn't get much of a chance to play with friends either. The good side of this is that Paxton has a million cousins.
On Wednesday Ryan's sister Heidi dropped in to say hello. We hung out with Heidi, Derek and the kids for most of the day and Paxton was in heaven. Especially because of Sydney, his 5 year old cousins. Finally a cousin almost his age!!
Heidi and Derek actually went out later that night with Sid and Leslie so Ryan and I offered to watch the kids so that they would have a night together. They happily accepted and the night was CRAZY!
They watched Christmas movies...
They ate pizza
and they dressed up in a hundred different costumes
They played Cops and Robbers and even put Ryan in jail (behind the railing). It was fun watching Ryan chase them all around the house and then watch them all chase Ryan around the house. He tried to stick the kids on me, but I got out of the chase because I had cookies...
It was SUCH a fun night!
We had a great time with Heidi and Derek too. They live in Colorado and we don't EVER get to see them. We love their kids and hope that sometime they can move closer so that we can see them more!! Thanks for stopping by and kicking it with us for awhile! We love you guys!

Man Chuck E Cheese pizza and games has got nothing on Bastian's costumes & cookies ...you'd put them out of business you guys are so much fun!

I get choked up thinking how selfless you were to watch the kids so H & D could have a night out! Gotta go get a tissue now...
