E & E Reading

Enjoying Christmas Gifts

The kids have been enjoying their Christmas gifts over the last month.  Here are a couple recent examples.  It was 60 degrees last weekend, so we got out their new scooters from Mama J.  And the kids had off on Martin Luther King Day while Daddy had to work, so Eliana worked on coding on her new computer, while Daddy coded right next to her!

 

Eliana and Belle

Last weekend, we saw Asbury's production of Beauty and the Beast.  Eliana and Judah loved the performance.  Eliana wanted to get her picture with the student who played Belle after the show:

 

17 Months

Here is a picture of each of our kids at the age of 17 months.  We think Ezra is a pretty good mix of Eliana and Judah.

Christmas Part 2

The day after Christmas, we drove to Pennsylvania to celebrate Christmas with the Jones family.  The kids had a blast playing with their cousins, and were sad to say goodbye to them a few days later.

Christmas Part 1

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at home.  Mamaw and Papaw came to celebrate with us, and we had a great couple of days together.

Ezra enjoyed being a part of the action, even if he was a bit confused

He couldn't wait until after gifts for breakfast, so he ate by the "fire"
