Celebrating with the Caswell's

Due to illness and busy schedules, it had been some time since we had seen the Caswells. We had missed Jud, Gemma, and Eleanor's birthdays. Marsey had come to the hospital shortly after Ana was born, but the rest of the family hadn't met their cousin/niece yet. We had lots to celebrate!

AJ was all smiles for her Uncle Jud....
Unfortunately by the time Eleanor got to hold AnaLeah, she was in meltdown mode. It was time for a nap, no fault of her big cousin....

It seemed as though it were Christmas with all of the gifts being opened....

It won't be long before Eleanor has bigger feet than me. Currently she wear the same size as me, which makes for great hand-me-downs....
Gemma took some time away from opening gifts to give me a pretty smile... This year she had an Arty Party. She got all kinds of arts and craft gifts from the boys too.


The weather was so pleasant. We just had to get outside. The girls made a wonderful road with sidewalk chalk. (We even grilled turkey burgers for lunch! Yum!)

Earlier in the visit, Levi slipped on a book. He landed face first on the floor. Just as he was getting over his black eye from last weekend when he ran into a rake, his other eye turned black. Luckily, he's a tough guy. It didn't slow him down....
