My new favorite sound? Evelyn giggling! So incredibly sweet!

Aunty Kerry's Visit

Last week, my sister Kerry came to visit for 4 days...which then turned into 5 days! Silly Wisconsin blizzards! Anyway, we had a great time and don't worry...we were stocked up on wine and holiday cookies!

On Friday, Kerry, Evie, and I went to the Mayfair Mall and went out for dinner at Panera. I know, very exciting, but it's the easiest thing to do in freezing cold weather. On Saturday, we baked holiday cookies at Kelly & Brian's house. Sunday is always reserved for football, so after her flight got canceled, poor Kerry had to suffer through that all day. :-) The four of us did end up going out for dinner to Mo's Irish Pub, which was very yummy.

Aunty Kerry and Evelyn


Awww, I think Aunty Kerry is smitten with Evelyn...but how could you not be?!

5 Months Old!

Evelyn's 5 months old today! Daddy's home sick, so he gets to enjoy her from a distance. :-) Here are all the things Evie loves to do:

*watch Frankie and Toby walk around her
*pet Frankie and Toby
*feel different textures, especially crinkly things
*stick her tongue out when you do it to her first (imitating)
*giggle at silly songs and when tickled
*watch her feet
*chew on EVERYTHING
*look at and listen to books
*play in her exersaucer
*yell loudly, but happily
*go for walks at the mall
*sit in her bumbo
*cuddle with Mommy & Daddy

Our First Christmas Tree

Our tree skirt. Jean (Eric's mom) made the tree skirt with just the fir trees, the submarine, and the blue snowman. She added on me (the snowwoman) after the wedding and Evelyn (the little snowman) this past weekend. I love it! All it needs now are two little, bratty cats.


Cutest little elf under the tree!

Frankie is one of my favorite presents.

Cutest little elf with the cutest little smile!
