COUSINS

A couple weeks ago, Ellie went to Grandma Ronda’s and Grandpa Rodney’s to visit her cousins. Grace, Lydia, Keri, Carol and Anita came down from Jeff City to go sledding at Grandma & Grandpa’s. Rance, Rita, and Steve made the trek up the road to join in on the fun and so did Uncle Jesse and Grandpa Kent. Ellie and I stayed inside with Grandma where it was nice and warm, but everyone else seemed to have a great time! Grandpa Kent made a track with the tractor, then they all took turns driving the Polaris and pulling the sleds. They all had so much fun!

When Grace came inside from sledding, she went straight to wash her hands so she could hold Ellie. She was like a little Momma, she did very good with her! But when it was time to change a diaper, she was quick to hand her over to me. :) Rance was a busy bee – not too much more interested in Ellie than usual, but little Lydia was very intrigued by her. She kept saying “baby,” and touching her little feet, arms, and cheeks. I think it’s safe to say they love their new little cousin.
