Fortunately Rachel and Kara were both home the week before Christmas so we got to have our annual playdate with Joaquin's other 'cousins'. I love this collage Kara made of Joaquin and Jonah dancing. We (Mommies included, see Rachel) were playing Cranium Playground and one of the categories is a dancing one. You spin these thingys and then do a dance based on the steps outlined on them. Even though it was my turn, they were
helping. I highly recommend this game, it's fun, has lots of different things to do (that are semi-educational) and moves quickly. Very good for toddlers. It was also very cute to see that they are getting older. Jonah saw some coloring books and then everyone started coloring. It actually kept them occupied for a
while. It was really sweet to watch them all concentrating and just enjoying the company while they colored. It was fun for the mommies too since we could talk and play with the little ones. I got my Bella fix and had a chance to watch Isaac in action. I haven't seen him much so it was really fun to get to know him. He is a smart little guy with some serious fine motor skills. He's a whiz
with Duplos. We also took a picture with all of them on my bed. (Which was very necessary as Bella had several faceplants during the photo session. It's hard to keep your balance with a bunch of wiggly big kids.) This one is the best as they all look so charming in it. However, we have tons of them looking cute, they were very adorable the whole time. Jonah looks like a little angel in half of them. He's a very conscientious little guy who knows how to pose for a camera-
happy Mommy. And he's definitely the best behaved of all our little crazies. So I love these pictures of them kicking their feet. Allie and Joaquin started kicking wildly and making silly noises and you can see Jonah starting to let his hair down and kick too. Nice to see his goofy side coming out. It's amazing how well Joaquin and Jonah have always gotten along and even Joaquin and Allie have a much lest tempestous relationship nowadays. I figure they really are the cousins Joaquin doesn't have on my side. It wouldn't be Christmas without a chance to see them all together.
