babies, parties, birthdays

On Saturday, it was cousin Carly's baby shower. Her little boy is due in March. 

Boys hanging out.

That night, we went to Claim Jumper to celebrate Aunt Carole's birthday. Happy birthday, Carole. Hope it was a good one!

Also, big surprise--Josh's cousin Kellie had her baby boy, Tyler, late that night! He wasn't due for another couple of weeks, but he decided he wanted to come before the New Year!

Someone likes cake...

 On the 28th, we spent the day going on walks and playing at the park.

We also went and visited Aunt Jamie's new house! She's done a wonderful job decorating it!

Wells' visit

On Saturday, we got to babysit Siena and Avi Wells. I wish I could take them home with me! The boys have so much fun with these ladies and they are so adorable!

Christmas Morning

Total Picture overload. Christmas was a success for the McLane's.

Pictures are pretty much self-explanatory.

One note--Benson asked for a "City" for Christmas. Santa delivered...he got a train city, a volcano that he can build to go in the city. He also got a flying helicopter to record video of the things going on in the city. He got cars to drive around the city, and a life-size train to color and have in the city. Well done, Santa well done.

Cutest pregnant lady ever!!!

 Toothbrush from Aunt Jamie was a hit!

Breakfast---so yummy! Thanks Grandpa Gary!
