Cousin Fun

In January we received a wonderful visit from our Elkins cousins. I always love when they are together. Everyone is so joyful. 

Lots of cousins means lots of new electronic devices. There were so many new games to learn how to play. 

Uncle Joseph always has the best games to play on his phone. 

James almost fit into the little dog bed that Aunt Lauren brought. 

Rebekah is always thrilled to play with her girl cousins. Barbies are awesome.

As are forts full of pink. 

Pretty sure those tops should be on markers.......

Aunt Kimber is the best fingernail painter ever!

Sneaking frosting that should be on a cake. 

Two pink tablets. Two pink girls. 

These little ones are so cute!

Adam was fascinated with the cousins' Great Dane Lottie. 

She was enormous.

Eating cake is fun to do!

So is eating dinner. 

And eating breakfast. 

And eating popsicles.

Some of the big kids playing Monopoly. Such a long, painful game. 

It snowed while the cousins were there. Snow means layers of snow clothes for warmth and comfort. 

Spoons, bowls, and cups make for great snow toys. 

What a beautiful snow tower!

Aunt Lauren was nice enough to go outside and play too. 

Rebekah thought Aunt Lauren was especially enchanting. 

Such beautiful women!

So many blurs. Boys are always on the move. 

And where they move the toys move with them. 

As does the furniture. 

Go! Go! Go!

And.......pause. A pause for video games. One of the only times they are still.  

Showing off for Aunt Kate who is behind the camera. 

My little yogi.

Hold it and count to 10!

We had a sweet scripture study together. I can't remember what the topic was but there was a sweet spirit with everyone gathered around togethers. These littles are perfection.

While her brothers were in school Rebekah got to spend some time alone with her cousins. 

They went to the BYU creamery to get some yummy ice cream. 

Rebekah thought that was delightful. 

Having cousins visit sure does make people tired. Thank goodness for soft beds and cozy blankets.
