Hannah and I spent a few days in Mississippi visiting with friends and family. Here are some highlights from the first few days:

We spent the night at Mimi Jane's house on the way to Jackson. 

Playing and playing with cousins!  Malorie introduced Hannah to crowns :)

Playing outside with Chloe and "Dangle"

Hannah loved playing in Chloe's playhouse! 

A surprise birthday breakfast for me!  I had a doughnut with a candle in it.  Streamers! Singing!  And here is Hannah eating Mal's "polka dots" aka sprinkles :)  Hannah was also introduced to marshmellows on this trip.  She now goes around saying "need marshmellows."

We went down to see Mimi and Papa for a few days.  Mimi surprised me with a birthday cake- yum!

And here is Hannah showing off her empty cake plate.  I am pretty sure she asked for some more :)

More exciting pictures to come. . .

Thanksgiving 2011 continued

Here are a few more fun pictures of the cousins together.  The last one is of the girls waving goodbye to Mimi and Papa on Saturday night.  We had so much fun visiting everyone!

Mississippi visit, part 1

Hannah and I spent a little time in Mississippi last week.  Hannah had so much fun with her cousins.  Even the long hours without power (due to a tornado just down the street!) did not damper their spirits- they went on playing.  We also got to visit a few friends in Clinton before heading down to see Mimi Jo and Papa.

Hannah and Piper Jane

Whatcha doin Piper Jane?

Hannah had lots of fun with her cousin Piper Jane.  However, since Piper Jane is usually rolling around on the floor, learning to crawl, and in general a tiny munchkin, we had to make sure Hannah didn't stomp on PJ.  One of the safest places (for both Piper and Hannah) is in a rolling activity chair.  They had lots of fun talking to each other :)  And I love that they were both wearing orange that day!

Fort Worth Zoo

Here are some pictures that Nana took during our trip to the Fort Worth zoo last week.  Hannah's first trip to a zoo was not all that thrilling- she did not see most of the animals (she couldn't focus on small animals in big enclosures and the barriers are really high).  But she loved the birds, the tiger, and the kangaroo.  Piper Jane and Hannah actually fell asleep during the last leg of the trip at the primate section.  We hope to make another trip to this amazing zoo in a few month- with Daddy in tow to lift Hannah up high enough to see!

Fun with cousins

Malorie looks on as Chloe enjoys Hannah's pack-n-play

Daniel and Hannah had lots of fun playing together

Looks like Daniel is trying to get his high chair back!

Hannah had so much fun exploring Daniel's room and playing with Mimi

Here are a few pictures from our quick trip to Mississippi.  Hannah had lots of fun with her cousins!  We are so thankful that Robyn and Morgan opened their home to us for a few days.  We even got to see Mimi and Papa.  Lots of fun. . . can't wait to show you all of the Christmas card pictures we took!
