The day after Thanksgiving we went to Marc's sister and brother-in-law's house for dinner. They have a little girl who is 15 months and a little boy who is 3. Eli is in between those two in age so the house was full of busy little bodies that night. :)
Angie had gotten the kids all matching pajamas so we could get them in some pictures together. It is quite challenging to get four kids to look at the camera at the same time! Marc and I stayed pretty close by Eli during the pictures since we let him hold Hailey. Sometimes he does really well and other times he gets tired of her and tries to push her off his lap. We have taught him to say "all done" when he wants us to take her back so that we at least have some warning. :)
Since we will not be in Illinois on Christmas this year, Eli opened up his presents from Marc's parents early. He also enjoyed getting to open up Hailey's gifts! It was so fun seeing what a difference a year makes. Last year he didn't even want to pull the paper off, but this year he was so excited to open up his gifts and to pull them out of the box to play with.
I think Marc will get plenty of practice putting things together this holiday. It wouldn't seem like Christmas if the dad didn't have to assemble something for his child. :)
Well, I still have one more day of our trip pictures to post tomorrow and then I am going to move on to my sister's wedding pictures!
