These pictures seemed to have loaded in the wrong order, so, for those of you who were there, forgive the backwards story telling. Here's a shot of the youngest cousins once gift opening was complete. I like the mirror nature of this shot. AJ is holding baby Zane, and Sydney is holding her own baby.
There's nothing like new toys to revert older children back to younger interests. For instance, AJ just had to check out one of Zane's new hammer toys.
And it doesn't even have to be new toys, as long as they're new to them. Note how nicely AJ and Sydney played "train" together on Zane's walking/riding toy. We have two similar toys at home, which they alternately ignore or fight over. Hmmm... do you suppose it was the promise of more gifts to open that inspired their happy teamwork?
Brunch at Eric and Sarah's (I told you these loaded backwards) consisted of crepes and an awesome egg dish. I can't exactly say that Sydney loved the crepes, because she didn't eat them, but she loved everything that went inside them: lots of fresh fruit and whipped cream.
After picking out all the goood stuff, she asked, "Can I have mo cweam, please?" And punctuated the request with a squinty smile. (We worked out a compromise. Yes, she got more cream, along with more bananas, strawberries and blueberries.)
