More Fun with Ella

My sister came over to celebrate a late Christmas with our Aunt yesterday. So, Atticus and his cousin Ella got to play together again. Here he is sharing his blanket with her., or maybe she's trying to take it I'm not positive. :-)
I love this picture!

Christmas in the Airport

We flew to Illinois the day after Christmas to see Ben's extended family. We got caught in the airport in Minnesota for 2 days due to weather and crowded flights! After all of that hassle Ben's suitcase, which had a lot of Atticus' clothes in it, was lost at the airport. So, here's a picture of Atticus in his second cousins pink pajamas with purple hearts, and Ben in his Uncle's too tight t-shirt and too short sweat pants. Too funny!

The portable dvd player was a God-send!





Christmas with My Cousin

Ada, Mike and Ella all came over for Christmas dinner. Atticus had fun with the "baby", as he calls her. He even wanted to lay on her blanket with her. We had to stop him from laying on top of her though. I think he doesn't understand personal space yet!

A pretty happy pair!



Christmas Morning

Atticus was much interested in Christmas and PRESENTS this year. Here he is opening his stocking.

Playing with a few of his cars, his favorite toys by far right now!
Atticus and Ben jamming on Christmas morning with his new drum set and Ben's new guitar picks.



One exhausted boy after all the gifts and playing!



We no longer have to encourage him to open his gifts. We did, however, have to encourage him NOT to open everyone else's gifts!
