Fort Wayne for Family

On Monday, December 21st, we celebrated the first day of winter by heading down to Fort Wayne to my Aunt Joan and Scott's home. My cousin Erica had flown in from Oregon for a short visit so we couldn't miss the chance to see her. We had a nice visit and enjoyed too much of Joan's baked goods. I also got to enjoy something I haven't eaten in over 18 years I'd guess, sloppy joes. Erica is a vegetarian like myself so Joan cooked us up some veggie sloppy joes. Yum yum! Uncle Jere also came down to see Erica so Olivia was excited to see him as well. Scott is a fan on trains, so he has a little village set up, which Olivia enjoyed controlling. I'm so glad we got to see everyone. The holidays are great for getting family together, and I am thankful for that. I miss Erica so much ans rarely get to see her.
Mia was determined to get ahold of that train. Every time she'd get there, someone would pull her away. Poor thing.
Olivia at the controls as the train engineer. This happens to be the first job I wanted to do as a young child.
Erica snuggling up with squirmy Mia. Erica is so cute with babies. She loves on them so sweetly, but is so paranoid of them getting hurt.
