God Bless You. Cause this little darling is my new niece and Aria's new cousin. She adores babies. And babies adore her, so I guess it works out. We felt it an honor to get to spend time with her and her family. Her name is Penelope Olivia and she's nothing but cuteness and sweetness. Check out her Mom's announcement here.
I love how Aria handles babies:
Jeff got to play drums with Uncle Will. haha.. my boy of many faces... see below.
What would a Christmas Extravaganza be without playing our new favorite game Kubb. We l.o.v.e. love it! And we're pretty serious about it around here. Just look at their faces.
What's also great is that we can play it pretty much anywhere and the kids can play in the back yard or be inside taking naps. It's awesome!
Jeff is our man of m.a.n.y. faces. He's so entertaining to watch. You can see why. This is constant for us.
Christmas Eve was awesome for us.
Aria's rendition of Santa Claus is Coming to Town pretty much rocks You have to check out the 'better not pout' at 29 seconds. So funny!
And Jeff's rendition of Jingle Bells is 'da bomb'
:)
We rounded out the evening with Silent Night. My baby girl is oh so sweet but not so baby anymore.
She sings like her Dad. All melody and no lyrics.
Christmas Morning! Love these puffy faces. Yay! For Christmas morning.
Aria got her much beloved ice-cream set and Jeff got a plasma car.
We love our pools. Especially with friends. Here we are trying to convince Nate he can do a front flip. He still doesn't believe me. #thiswasthebestone #jeffjustwentupanddidit #overandover #unafraid #doesntcarewhatpeoplethink #wishididnt # summerlovin Independence day kickball.

Glad we could share a little piece of our hearts today with the senior center. They all knew "You Are My Sunshine" which made my heart Happy. #music #thismanandhisguitar #wooshearts #lovehim #evieproject #evielaree one of the residents told us to look up a video on YouTube about Amazing Grace. He thought we would like it. #forreal #howcouldheknow #n8lovesthirdeyeblind #ilovehimforit Also my friend intends to "adopt a grandma here". What a great idea. I can't wait to find out how it goes. #opa Jeff thinks it's fun to get up with the sun. Apparently it's starting to wear on him because this is what I woke up to this morning. #goodmorning #goodmorning #asleepagainalready #itsgreattostayoutlate We signed up to help at the Houston food Ban...
To better suit my purposes, I have decided to make this more of a journal. That's what it is anyway, but I see no reason to allow random people to see it. I am going *private* Please leave your email if you are even a casual observer at the happenings in the Pettit household. You are welcome any time. The change will happen one month from today.
