More fun in CA

We've been at the Nowlands' house since Wednesday, and we've been having a great time.  Jeremy's brother Jared was here for a little while with his family and our kids were in cousin heaven.  Ben and Lucy are 8 and 7, and entertained our kids perfectly.  Eli was really sad to see them go this afternoon!  (As were we!)  Other than that, we've gone to the park twice, gone to church, helped do some projects around the house here, and played with lots of fun Christmas presents.  Oh, and Jeremy and I went to see Les Miserables on Thursday!  It was really good.  It was part of our Christmas present - along with the free babysitting.  It was a fantastic date!

Here are some fun pictures from the last few days:

Eli had fun helping Papa and Jeremy fix the truck.

 These boys sure love reading books.

 I forgot my camera the first day we went to the park, and the next time was pretty chilly.  Connor wanted a hat just like Papa.

 All bundled!

 It's been great to get out, even just for a few times, and get some exercise and fresh air!

 The boys got some play-dough for Christmas and everyone has been enjoying it. :)
