New Years Week 2016

My brother Chris and his family were headed to the San Jacinto Monument and Battleship and so we decided to tag along! The kids had a fun time looking at some history, and mostly just being with their cousins. 

All of them in front of the battleship!

Uncle Chris was our tour guide!

Watch out for the kids!

This is the face I constantly see on my brother :)

 There were some pretty steep stairs up and down the ship!

Crew's ready for his nap on the boat!

Leave it to Channing to strike a pose!

The older kids decided to go to the top with Uncle Chris!

 Cavin quickly came down! Too high for me as well!

Proof that I was there! I think that's the only picture I was in!

We had a picnic in the chilly weather and next went to the San Jacinto Monument. It is a very tall building!

Deacon was trying to climb the stairs for the picture!

Silly cousins!

They had a nice afternoon there. We enjoyed seeing some history about the great state of Texas!

New Years Eve was my nephew Crew's birthday so we spent the day there celebrating!

We went on a scavenger hunt..

Grandpa was kind enough to go out of his way and find everyone their pine cones we were missing.

Here is our birthday boy!

Time for his cake smash!!

After the cake smash we had a fire outside to make smores!

It took a while to get the fire started but it served its purpose and we had yummy smores.

These girls have fun together! 

Natalie all bundled up!

We stayed the night with my dad and Natalie (since my mom is still gone) and my dad was keeping Deacon busy with tennis balls! He had a blast! At one point he had it in his hood and he looked like a dog circling over and over trying to get it! It was pretty funny!

Such a good grandpa! It was a fun week and we hope 2016 brings many wonderful things!
