Alaskan Cousins

 One of the best parts of a trip to Alaska is time with far away cousins.  Parker, Noah & Savannah were great cousins & friends for Allison during our trip.  They exposed her to all sorts of new and important things like Lego soccer, Nerf guns & dice games.  She loved spending time with her cousins and forlornly told us yesterday about her friend Savannah who lives in Alaska which is far away.  If only it weren't so.....

 I loved the kids table on Christmas Eve - all four of the kiddos working away.  Parker received a new Lego calendar for Christmas Eve and promptly wrote every one's birthdays in it.  When we received one in a Christmas party here in Oregon Allison immediately wanted to write in it just like Parker did!

 I love Savannah's style!  A scoop skirt with jeans and mukluk slippers - such an Alaskan!

 And Savannah got her very own copy of 'The Big Green Pocketbook' complete with her own purse.  Allison was thrilled to read the book with her.

 And Noah, the goofball.  He is so full of funny expressions and was so good at making the girls laugh!  There was never a dull moment with this kid around, especially when he had a captive audience.

We can't wait for another trip to see the cousins!
