Christmas with the McGills

Two days after returning from our 6 days in Wichita we loaded up and headed east to Grandview for Christmas with the McGills. More matching jammies, LOTS more presents and plenty of fun with the cousins. All of this was followed by Mac's famous Mexican food lunch.

Molly totally worships her big cousin Lauren.

Toodee! Molly loves Yo Gabba Gabba and she got a doll.

Dance star Mickey. This was her big present for Grandma and Grandpa. She loves it!

Playing Mickey says.

Coloring with the big girls. Look at her just stare at Stephanie.

Cheese!

Christmas with the Wells

We spent Christmas in Wichita with the Wells. It was such a fun time and the first time that Molly and Oliver actually played together and interacted. We were grateful to have 5 whole days there and Molly was incredibly spolied. Despite being there, I only brought my camera out on Christmas morning. Aunt Annie bought the kids matching jammies and they looked so cute!

New toys!

It was so great to see Great Grandma Duck! She is doing great after her knee replacement surgery and I will always treasure the time we spent together over the holidays.

Cool Dude

I'm working on getting posts done for Christmas with the Wells and with the McGills as well as New Year's but in the mean time, here is a funny new video. Whenever Molly puts on either sunglasses or a baseball cap she says "cool dude." It comes out sounding like "O'Douls." She's pretty proud of herself and I could watch this all day long and still laugh every time.

One More

Molly had a great time playing this game. Don't worry about the end, she got right up and wanted to go again (although our parents of the year award might have been lost).

Molly Jumping

Mike's been trying to teach Molly to jump, this is her progress. Hilarious and she's so proud of herself!

Did/Didn't

Yep...I'd say it was a pretty productive weekend.
