early christmas in socal.

three brothers, three sisters-in-law, two babies, one papa and a step mom equals never celebrating christmas on christmas day. and so we gathered early. my role definitely has changed since becoming a therapist: i have moved from the youngest and unmarried and instigator to the peacemaker and mediator. or at least, that's what i perceived this weekend. of course the focus of our time together was on riley and samuel (naps, eating, not eating, screaming, crying, attempting to take photos, etc.). so different and so wonderful.

this is what happens when i try to hold TWO squirmy wormy toddlers:






cousins (riley nineteen months, samuel eighteen months):


samuel loves the headphones:

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to say: Samuel looks like you. He's adorable. You should be a proud aunt. :)

hahahaha. These pictures are incredible. I esp love the matching PJ's on the bottom. You can tell how squirmy they are on the top of the blog. Yay for being the single aunt!
