Ba Ba Lamb Takes a Bath

Ah, Evelyn discovers that her favorite stuffed animal, "Ba ba Lamb", is getting a bath today. Methinks she's not going to take this very well.

And the anticipated result. Poor Evie! Apparently, pink bunny just doesn't cut it.

Hannah's 7th Birthday

Hannah woke up Saturday December 15 to find herself 7 years old (well, technically it wasn't until 1:19 pm, which her dad reminded her of all day long!). She opened up her cards and presents from family as soon as she got up.
Ah yes, look who's quick to show up. She's like a prairie dog poking her head up out of a hole sometimes. Pop! There she is! Wherever there's something going on, you can be sure that Ev will soon make an appearance, especially when her big sister is involved.



While Hannah is busy, Evelyn is planning her next move. Note that she is rarely without her "Ba ba lamb".

How does she always end up on the table???
Hannah in her new inline roller skates, her present from Mom and Dad. She's so far worn them every morning and afternoon around the house.


The next day, Sunday, we had Hannah's kid party at Hamme Pool, where she takes her swimming lessons. All the kids and most of the adults went swimming, and daddy came late with Evelyn after she woke up from her nap. The two of them joined the others swimming for a little while, until Ev started getting cold.

Hannah doesn't really like regular cake with frosting (she says the frosting is just too sweet - the little weirdo!). So, Mary Ann made a bunch of brownies and everybody enjoyed sundaes with ice cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream, instead. There were no complaints!

Daddy was on Evie duty ... a full time job.

A gaggle of girls (and, oh yeah, and couple of boys, too)!

Gingerbread House

Gingerbread House competition 2007 occurred last Saturday. Hannah, Robin and I worked diligently on a rocket ship. The theme was "Mars Rovers gets visit from Santa". We worked on the project when Evelyn was asleep. She is too much of a trouble maker to be involved in gingerbread creations.










Evelyn views the finished project after the competition. Notice how she has climbed up on the chair. This is her newest trick along with climbing up on the table. Naughty girl. She has a nice bruise above her eye from a fall from the chair a few days ago. This one will have us in the emergency room....
