A couple weeks ago, Coraline got all dressed up for a visit from Brian’s Uncle Mike and cousin Griffin. Who couldn’t love that adorable skirt on her!?

We went over to Grandma and Poppa’s house to play and visit, along with Aunt Melissa and her boyfriend Vince. As usual, we had to get out all the guys (stuffed animals) at Grandma’s house.

The jack-in-the-box was a hit with both kids, though Coraline mostly wanted to eat the clown’s face. I loved Jameson’s exaggerated excitement face.

Jameson loved playing with his older cousin Griffin. They had fun playing cars. We’ve had a tough time getting Jameson to stop playing and sit down to eat lately though!

Coraline also wanted to play with the cars like the boys.

After dinner with lasagna and meatballs, it was time to open some belated Christmas gifts.

As usual though some of the best toys were empty boxes. I may have encouraged it a little by putting Coraline in one first.
