Christmas Part 2

On the day after Christmas, we were lucky enough to go to our new niece Lula's baby dedication. Olivia and Ethan had been the only grandchildren on both sides of the family, but with the addition of Lula (Joe's stepbrother Tim and Tim's wife Jen are the lucky parents to this little girl), our kids have been knocked off of this throne! However, both Olivia and Ethan were thrilled to meet Lula for the first time. Here is Olivia playing Peek A Boo with her at the luncheon following the dedication.

Olivia was so proud that she was able to hold Lula by herself! And the matching red dresses was a happy coincidence!

The cousins - Olivia, Lula, and Ethan.

Ethan, being a natural entertainer, was a big hit with Lula, eliciting many giggles from her with his antics.

Then on the Tuesday after Christmas, we had Christmas with Joe's side of the family. Here is Grandpa Brett teaching Ethan the proper technique for playing the trombone.

Olivia was once again a big helper with Lula, assisting her open her numerous Christmas gifts!
