Cousin Play-Time

My cousins visited us this past weekend - we had a great time catching up with them and watching our kids play together so nicely.

David (my first cousin) and Carrie and their kids (Ilana, Jacob and Naomi) got here on Friday afternoon.  David's brother Evan lives in the area, so he and his girlfriend Anya also joined us for dinner.  Everyone had a lot of fun playing in our yard while dinner was cooking!

We spent most of the day on Saturday lounging around the house and playing - it was so nice to see how Hannah interacted with older kids.  She really liked playing with Ilana, and even tried saying her name a few times!

We also had a chance to watch Jacob do his break-dancing routines for us, and Naomi did some great dancing with somersaults.  It was like a little recital in our living room!

In the late afternoon, we went over to Evan and Anya's apartment because none of us had ever seen it.  We also got a chance to see where Evan works, and took a few great photos of the kids outside his building.

We had dinner at Bertucci's on Saturday night - yum!

For breakfast on Sunday, Dan and I made waffles.  Ilana was a huge help, and Hannah even got in on the fun (until she accidentally knocked over the bowl with the wet ingredients in it, and got covered in milk, eggs, and vanilla).  Hannah was very surprised and not happy at all about being soaked, but luckily we had more of all of the ingredients!

We were sad to see them go and we hope to spend time with them again soon...
