Cousins

One of the biggest highlights of our trip was meeting Baby Duke for the first time! Duke is Rudy's (Daddy's Lil' Sis's) son. He is a super cute angel of a baby! He is laid back and very easy going. We all just loved on him as much as we could. He even got to spend the night with us one night. But he sleeps all night, so no sleep deprivation for us. LilE just ate him up! Always asking if she could hold him. I wish she could all the time!

Last year, LilE was so super sick she was not able to play. But play she did this year! She could not get enough of Jess (Daddy's oldest sister's girl). They played Little People (1970s version), read books, played Wii, played dolls, animals, you name it! Jess was so great with LilE!! You were a great help all week keeping LilE occupied! Thank you!!

We were also able to spend "Christmas Day" with Jake, Jasmin, and Linz. LilE just sat down on the floor and joined in the games just like she was one of the big kids.
