Cousin time with Hannah

My brother, Daniel, and his wife, Sarina, and their daughter, Hannah came and spent New Year's with us. We had a great time with one another, despite allergy attacks and minor cold symptoms.
What was neat about this trip was that Hannah was much more interactive with Mia, Ally and Emi. I am guessing it's mostly because of her age. She is growing and learning a ton and feels comfortable around her cousins now. So, here some pictures of their adventures together.

Hannah insisted that Emi hold her hand while walking down the stairs...

As with any family visit, we have a great time while they visit, but are glad to be back to "just us" mode. It's amazing how much well behaved our kids become when we don't have as many distractions!

Happy 2012!!!!!!!!!
