Christmas, a Baptism, & New Year's Eve... Oh my!

I'm finally getting around to posting the photos of the last week in Baltimore

Here is Cole with one of his Great Grandmas (My Dad's Mom)

Don't these two look so excited to have their second Christmas??

At least these guys were excited! There was paper flying everywhere.

Lilah seemed pretty excited about the princess leapster game, but not nearly as excited as she was when she opened up her "Nail Art" book...

Sunday, December 28

Cole's Baptism day

This is of Cole being presented to the Church. He was so good -just looked aroundPastor Mark, Darin, Cole, me, Karen & Justin (Cole's Godparents)

Samuel just couldn't take a photo with a nice smile that day...

Then we move on to New Year's Eve:
We took the kids bowling - a first for Samuel, but after Daddy showed him how it was done, he had a great time

Lilah Michael & Joshua

Talia thought it would be fun to move the balls from one lane to the other - you know - why not? She made it look fun

Then Kar showed her what to do

Cole just hung out & drooled & smiled

He had fun

And Scott & Almarie? They just looked happy

We started the post bowling party off right (at Almarie & Scott's) with

Rob's mojitos

YUMMM

Cole even got into the spirit!

the kids table

complete with hats and tiaras

Oh yeah - it got CRAZY
Then we had "midnight" (OK so it was 9 pm) outside

Can you tell that this little one isn't used to the cold?? No leggings?

It's not her Mom's fault - Lilah refused.

I'm not sure they had fun...What do you think?
