Our Pre-Inauguration Party!

With all the excitement of the inauguration, Nicholas showed his red, white and blue pride with a gorgeous painting! It's so nice he's more into using paint brushes than his hands these days - just waaaay less mess (even though his PJ's were covered and he had blue lips!)

When Mommy and Daddy were prepping in the kitchen, it got all too quiet in the other room. Sure enough, Nicholas found the stash of red candies.
Our neighbors came over to celebrate with us Monday night - Nicholas was in his glory with having the tv on the Disney Pre-Inauguration Bash all night.

We all decorated (and tasted) cookies.
Emilie was too cute with her tongue sticking out in such deep concentration!

The jury is still out as to who ate the most cookies between all the kiddos. Nicholas surely did his fair share, which obviously helped him stay awake and running around until 9pm!


Anyone with a toddler knows of the beyond-bedtime-buzz that kids get. Nicholas and Emilie took it to the next level, literally chasing each other all over the house, screeching in excitement. I took nearly a dozen pictures, but they are either blurry from them going so fast or just plain out of the frame.

Future Mr. President Relyea practicing his wave.

Of course, it wouldn't be a party without a little Guitar Baby Hero!

(and yes, it was nearly 9pm here!)
