Cousins....The Best Kind of Friends

Last weekend E's cousins D and Z came to spend the night at his house and play. They also brought their parents along. We had a great time together. 

The boys wasted no time. They started playing as soon as they got here. E showed Z one of his favorite toys, his Noah's ark. They both love animals, so they enjoyed playing with that together.



After a good night's sleep, D helped Aunt N make pancakes for breakfast.

He is an expert egg cracker. I was so glad to have his help!

Z also helped. He made sure all of the batter was mixed properly by helping scrape the sides of the mixing bowl.

Preparing the batter was fun, but it was time to move on to another activity while Aunt N fried the pancakes...

So the boys joined together for a piano trio.
 

They made wonderful music together. They may have a future in entertaining. 
In the midst of the concert, there was time for a little cousin love. E definitely loves his D and Z!
 

D came back to help in the kitchen some more, but the other two didn't skip a beat. The picture below is a scene that would be seen repeatedly throughout the day.
 


The pancakes were finally ready, and everyone enjoyed a yummy breakfast. Then Z and E enjoyed some quality time with Uncle J. Both of these boys are crazy about J.
 

After breakfast, there was time for more play. They played with just about every toy that E owns.


All this play can really wear a boy out, so after a lunch of nachos and burritos, it was time to rest. 

Since the little boys napped longer than D, he helped Aunt N make sugar cookies.

After we baked them and let them cool, we iced them and decorated them with sugar and sprinkles. They were yummy. Everyone enjoyed eating D's hard work!


The boys played a little while longer, then we loaded up and went to the mall. After taking advantage of Children's Place's big sale, we said goodbye to D, Z, Aunt B and Uncle A. We had a wonderful time with them, and we hope they can come back and stay again soon!
