Cousin time

Saturday night we got the chance to have Nadia, Adelynn's cousin over for the evening. When Nadia was dropped off she was sad because her daddy was leaving, and Adi wasn't awake to play; so we played outside for a bit. But when it was time to go wake Adi up from nap, they were both thrilled!
They had a little munchie on some cereal together and were very excited to share with each other, as well give BIG kisses for cousins!
They had a good time jumping from Adi's toddler bed to a mattress on the floor. They were doing flips and dives, and all sorts of crazy things, all the while laughing like the silly little girls they are and just enjoying being together.
So we decided to take them to Leo's place for dinner. We'd never been there but had heard good things about it, so we decided to give it a shot. Even the drive into town was a hit for the two girls. Laughing still... and clapping and singing and dancing.
Leo's place had lots of fun instore! We were there for 2 hours, and even then the girls didn't want to leave. They played on toys, and in the arcade, but most of all in the big jungle gym area. Adi enjoyed climbing to the top and coming down the big slides. Nadia enjoyed going under the nets and hanging on for dear life like a monkey. It was a hoot!
The girls kept trying to still balls from the other kids bowling in the arcade, so we let them do one round of "bowling" (if you can call it that) themselves. Nadia was a crack up trying to copy the other kids and stick the token in the ticket slot...oops! So we helped her get it in the right spot and the balls came tumbling down, and oh boy were they thrilled! They started throwing them right away. It was quite scary, but they were thrilled. They even won themselves 5 tickets and they each got a dinky little ring! Hooray!
But all good times eventually come to an end, much to their dismay!!! Fortunately after some calming down, and a nice book and prayers from Daddy/Uncle Caleb, they went night night.

Thanks for the awesome times Nadia. We love you, and Adi had such a great time with you over to play. Come again soon!

Reese says "I love you Addi, I hope you had a great time!" It looks like the girls had a blast! Those were some cute pictures.

How fun! Those pictures were a hoot, especially the ones of them jumping off the bed. So Leo's Place was cool? Brent and I often wondered about it when we lived there, but we never did go.

They look like twins in those pictures! What fun to have cousins closeby to do sleepovers with. I'm glad they get to experience that.

Oh, and I'm PRETTY sure I'm not (regarding your comment on my last post), but that wouldn't matter; I cry over the Olympics every time. :)

Ashley said...

I cry all the time too, I'm a serious sympathy crier on top of it all too. But anyway, one can always hope right Kirst? :)

There's nothing better than cousin's your age to play with! They make the best of friends.

How sweet! Rylie and Yazee (Rhonda's daughter) had a hugging moment like your top picture, but alas, I didn't have my camera. Wouldn't have had time to snap a picture anyway, because right after the hug the girls lost their balance and fell, smacking Rylie's head on the tile floor with Yazee on top of her!! They both survived :o)

How lucky for the girls that they got to spend the night together. You and Caleb made it extra special for them. I LOVED the pictures and could imagine being there with them. My favorite has to be the one of Caleb reading to them at bedtime.
