Cousin Time

Story told by Lainey

A couple of hours after we arrived home from Quincy last night, Aunt Elisa, Uncle Matt, and Graham arrived. I was asleep, so I got to see him in the morning.

He was ready to get up close and personal as soon as I walked down the stairs!

Then they got to meet Henry. They thought he was pretty cute (which I would have to agree with).

Aunt Elisa got in some snuggle time with Henry right away.

Graham went to take a nap, so I put on my fairy wings and helmet to sweep the garage. Seems like perfectly normal toddler behavior to me.

Uncle Matt came to push me on the bike, but then I saw the broom…

So we started sweeping again.

Uncle Jeff and Haleigh came home from running errands and they brought a Minnie Mouse balloon. I squealed in delight!!

Thanks Uncle Jeff and Haleigh!!!

Mommy and her brothers (Jared, Jeff, and Matt).

Aunt Elisa and Haleigh (Jeff’s girlfriend) joined us. (We missed Jared’s girlfriend, Ericka, though!)

Silly picture!

Mommy and Aunt Elisa enjoyed the chance to catch up.

Time to get out the sidewalk chalk. I think that Aunt Elisa and Haleigh had just as much fun as I did!

At my request, Aunt Elisa drew the coolest Minnie Mouse!

Graham woke up from his nap, so he came to join in the fun!

Aunt Elisa tried to get me to take a selfie with her, but I wouldn’t cooperate.

So she tried to mimic my face instead.

After lunch, I took a nap and Graham got to know Henry.

I’m not sure that Henry appreciated every moment of their interaction, but Graham seemed to have lots of fun!

Everyone seemed to have a great day. We loved spending time with our cousin (and his parents) and can’t wait to see them at Christmas!
