The Donovans

It was Auntie Kelly's birthday weekend, so we scheduled a reservation with Santa and dinner reservations at Coopers Hawk. Here we are waiting for Auntie Kelly and Bacca to arrive before pictures with Santa. Branko did great! I was a bit confused as to how this all worked with free photos and packages. They said I could take my own and it turned out pretty good! I just wish we would've gotten a family photo. Oh well, always next year. Luckily, I did snap some pictures of the 4 of us before leaving all dressed up nice! Conrad looked so cute in his button down and dress pants! Good morning Conrad!  

  After a few years of hiatus, we had our family xmas back at my Grandmas.  We had a great time this year. Holidays with kids is so much better! But before we get to those pictures, here's Branko's cool hair in the tub. Enjoying our new inflatable hot tub. We've been playing around with the colors on the lights above, and it really does feel like you're in a real hot tub.  Here are some pictures of our new smiling boy! Branko was VERY excited to see all of his cousins once he was a bit more alert from falling asleep in the car. We tried to get him down for a nap twice prior to coming. We drove around Parkside's campus to buy us some extra nap time. Auntie Jodi swarmed by all of the kids Matching PJ's! Branko really enjoys his cousins, Simon and Oliver "What are you eating, Simon? Can I see?" Auntie Mary "snuggles" And of course, Nora snuggles. Ava helping out with Conrad when we had our hands full with Branko and Santa Pat Craft corner Group ...
