More fun in PA

Today I set an alarm to be up in time for a playdate at 9:30.  Carly had arranged for a couple of my cousins to come with their children and play with our kids.  My cousin Holly came with her little girls Isabella and my cousin Kristen came with her boys Logan and Noah.  Haley was a little wary of the new kids, she ended up playing more with her own cousins.  Isabella actually kind of looks like Haley, I should have gotten a picture of them together.  Everyone ended up staying until just before lunch so as soon as they left we fed the kids and then put them down for naps.

Emily was awake for most of the playdate and would not fall asleep in the swing so David ended up laying down with her to help her nap, it worked out well.  Haley took a three hour nap after which I actually woke her up because I was afraid she wouldn't sleep tonight.  We practiced for our Christmas program once all of the kids were awake, they loved to dance around while we were singing.

Mom made a delicious roast for dinner, Haley just ate applesauce and a croissant of course but the rest of us enjoyed it.  After dinner David and Pops did the dishes while the rest of us went to Grandma and Grandpa's to visit with my Uncle Brian, Aunt Maggie, and cousin Janelle who were over there for dinner.  Haley ended up having a great time there because people kept giving her cookies.  Uncle Brian held Emily for a while, she was in a pretty good mood for most of the time that we were there except I did have to take her into Grandma's room and feed her once.  Uncle Keith and his family came while we were there so it ended up being a full house for a while.  Haley played with her cousins and colored for most of the time.  I did have to put her on time out at one point because she was getting rowdy and started throwing things.

After Grandma's house we came home and Carly put her kids to bed but I let Haley play for a little longer because she still seemed wide awake.  She played with some of Uncle Caleb's old toy train tracks and then we put her to bed.  It was good we kept her awake a little longer, she went to bed much easier than last night.  We set up a game of Settlers and Carly dethroned Dad and won!

Haleyism:
Haley and Jay were found eating a granola bar together under a table in the unfinished part of the basement today.  Those two are trouble.

Emilyism:
Emily was kind of a stinker today, she had a hard time falling asleep for naps.

*I am going to try and take a bunch more pictures tomorrow, I only took one today, sorry!
