So Dan and I like to game. Both board games and video games. We have an Xbox360, a Wii and 3 DSs (one for me, one for Dan and one for Desmond). Plus we have computers that play games as well. Desmond and Eloise have a computer in the corner for them, though it is more Desmond’s at the moment then Eloise’s since he can control it a bit more.

Anyways, both my children are apparently following their parent’s footsteps. Eloise likes trying to get Desmond’s DS and play with it, though she can’t play any games yet she just likes playing with the case.

Desmond on the other hand is quite happy to play his games on his DS. He has about 3 he can play by himself at this point in time.

He also loves playing on the Xbox360. He looks so much like a teenager in these next two pictures, sitting on the bean bag playing the Xbox.

We got a bunch of boxes from IKEA to put toys in. Desmond and Eloise both feel they are a great place for them to sit as well. Here are some pictures of the two of them playing in the blue boxes. We have red boxes as well, but they seem to like the blue ones better for playing in.

I finally got around to finishing editing a bunch of pictures last night. So I have a bunch of pictures from both January and February to post. I figure I’ll do a couple of posts for the next few days. There are various sets of pictures so I will actually do separate posts rather then just one huge photo dump. Check my new posts to see some cute pictures.

Okay those these aren’t all the pictures they took yesterday, since that would have been over 40 pictures and some of them were a bit less then stellar, but here are a bunch of the pictures we had taken of Eloise. Enjoy the Eloise is turning 1 pictures!

First off here are the pictures of her with the 1 and the party background

Next are all the pictures of her in her pretty dress. I really like how these came out, she looks so cute.

Here is the previous one enhanced

We had to work hard to get pictures without her fingers in her mouth, she kept trying to put them in and we kept taking them out.

This is one of my favorite pictures

Here it is in black and white

Here is another one of my favorite pictures, I just like the angle on it. It also made me realize she has a cleft chin. I knew I had one and Desmond had one, I hadn’t realized she did too.

Here it is in black and white, I really like the picture in black and white.

She did not want to stand solo, she kept sitting when we stood her up, but we were finally able to get her to stand, but she was facing sideways. Here are her standing pictures.

I really love how the enhancements on this one make it look so old fashioned

We also got some combo pictures with our package so here are the ones we got. I like how they all turned out.
