The End of Amelia's Vacation...

So Amelia's vacation is officially over. She went back to school this morning and me back to childcare at 630 am. Big change... after a week of fun and games :) I hope you enjoy our new pictures, Amelia picked out this Betta Fish aka Japanese Fighting Fish. Its black with some red on his tail (he is hard to see but is over by the plant). Notice the purple crown "he" has. Amelia and I picked that out. She first picked the name Peter and told Kristin I think the name was Peter and told Papa his name was Abby so? Right now he is Peter Abby I guess. What prompted our purchase of a fish was our trip to the Aquarium Saturday, there are a few pictures below but Amelia wasn't in a picture taking mood. It also was dark and super crowed so again they aren't the best pictures. Also there are pictures of her last day of vacation (Friday) and we did some girlie things we started off by making her a tent, then curling her hair, and lastly she painted her own nails. When Jason got out of work we surprised her with dinner at Friendly's.

Vacation At My Cousins

So as I mentioned in a previous post, we were going to visit my cousin Dorothy the other day, I haven't seen her in I don't even know how long. I was shocked to see her oldest Cody, I used to babysit him when he was 3 I'd say, he is now taller than me (but that isn't saying much). I went with My Aunt Carol, her daughters Athena and Zoe and of course Miss Amelia. We had a great time and it was nice to see them. I borrowed her Bundt pan and Amelia and I came home and made angel food cake.....

Zoe, Aunt Carol and Athena

This is the only picture of Ethan I could get he was a bit shy..

Connor what a funny little boy, this was the first day I met him. Not shy at all...

Connor again, he couldn't get enough of the camera.

This is Amelia's new pet sunny.... HAHA ya right. That brought this back with them from Florida..

The start of Amelia's Vacation and more from Valentines Day

Here are some recent pictures of us. We haven't done anything super fantastic this vacation but some arts and crafts and just some relaxing. Amelia loves to hang out with Busty so he has been by her side for a few days. Today we are heading to my cousins house who just moved back from FLA. She has two little boys and I have never seen the youngest. I am pretty excited. I will definitely take some pictures. Jason and I set the timer on the camera so we didn't have to take those lame ones of just our faces. Hope you enjoy! Look forward to some new pictures at the end of the week. If all goes as planned we are planning on taking another ride into Boston to go the Aquarium this weekend.
