Christmas in Heather's Camera

My sister-in-law Heather is really good at taking pictures. Half the time I forget to take pictures ad I miss stuff. Heather on the other hand is always there and always gets the coolest pictures. She sent me a bunch of pictures the other day so I thought I would share.

Brie discovered stairs in every house we were in and she climbing up and down them quite a bit. Here she and Chloe are racing to the top.

Chloe has been passed!
Brie wins! Nice work kid, I knew you could do it.
Amanda on the other hand had no idea.
Ava is a lap child. She is on someones lap in most of these pictures. Here she is with Grandma Lois.

Here she is on Grandpa Jay's lap.

Chloe liked Lola. Lola liked the way Chloe tasted.
Brie found how to get in trouble any way she could.
Amanda and Ava were helping Heather make Ava's birthday cake. I am not entirely sure what Amanda is doing here.
Pouring the purple batter. Notice Aunt Heathers blue lips...
The very best part of baking. Licking the beaters.
Amanda was nice enough to share her's with Aunt Heather.
Brie was nice enough to share hers with Daisy and Lola.
Brie's favorite game during this trip was to stand on a chair opposite me, put her arms up, open her mouth wide and fall into my arms. She thought it was great fun. So did I actually. It was pretty cute.

Amanda found some balloons.
Ava's on a lap again. This is Grandma Lois and Grandpa Jay.
Aunt Heather wanted to give Amanda a kiss. Amanda wanted to eat Aunt Heather.
Brie dressing up in her new jammies and beads.
Some super tuckered out people. We had a pretty busy trip!
Uncle Chris was attempting to start a fire with an audience. He almost failed but in the end the fire came back and was nice and warm. I should know because I got to sit in front of it during dinner. Poor Chris had to sit on the other side of the table and not enjoy his fire. Oh well.
Christmas Eve dinner. Did you know that Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks (under President Grover Cleveland) ate dinner in this very room. He used to own the house. I am pretty sure Mr. Hendricks did not have nose pickers at his dinners.
I wonder if Mr. Hendricks ever kissed his wife during dinner in this room?
This is Cheyenne. This was the only time she smiled all evening. I had to tickle her and poke her to get a smile but I got it!!!
Brie is showing Chloe the ropes of having a baby. Brie is an old pro.
Justin wanted to be a homie for Christmas. I am not sure it's the right look for him.
One of my new awesome scarfs. I love these things.
Aunt Heather and Ava.
Aunt Heather, Amanda and my scarf.
Grandma Lois got a pretty funny wrapped box from Grandpa Jay. I wonder what was in this box?
It was BRIE!!
Aunt Megan and Amanda.
Grandma Lukie and Ava (on a lap again)
The family in St. Louis.
Phew. That was a lot of pictures!
