Since the last few weeks have been a huge waiting game for this baby girl who's too comfy to come out, we've been awkwardly filling time "last minute" to keep us from going stir crazy. Every year, we go to the Kiwanis Pancake feed with hubby's family. This year, we assumed we'd either be bringing a newborn or skip it since we'd be at the hospital, but she had other plans. :)
Each year, it gets more fun! There is a huge play area with the blow up jumpy games and Josie, Audrey, and cousin Dean are all at great ages to participate. I think they spent a solid 45 minutes or more over there burning off energy. This year was also fun because the kids generally stuck around and didn't get impatient with waiting in line. There are plus sides to two and three year olds, you just have to look for them (behind the whining and tantrum throwing, right?).
The picture below doesn't seem like much, but it represents the sweetest sister moment. I brought the girls to the bathroom in between eating and playing, and on the way back I told them that they had to find daddy before we could go to the play area. Josie took Audrey's hand and they dutifully walked back to our table holding hands the entire way. It was so unlike them and so adorable. No fighting! No pulling away! No complaining! Glorious. I just trailed behind...
Audrey, who ate her entire plate and then some. Girl loves her carbs, although it's hit or miss lately since her growth spurt of late has seemed to slow down.
My niece, Clara.
My nephew, Dean.
Josie girl, who loved her pancakes but just couldn't eat a whole plate. Maybe next year. Her appetite has greatly diminished with age.
Annual family photo! No more selfies. We've grown too large to fit in that kind of picture! And next year we'll have an almost one year old to squeeze in.
