A Patio...just in the knick of time....

Our landscapers finished our patio yesterday....just before the snow came today!! Unfortunately, I think we still have a few months ahead of us before we can enjoy it!!






Unpacking.....Herself!

I guess my "timing" in unpacking everyone was just not quite fast enough for this little one. Ema's room prior to this little shenanigan was completely spotless with a purple duffel bag sitting nicely packed in the middle of the room....

AND this is what it looked like when she got up from her nap!! (She did have a babysitter during her nap...but no fault of the babysitters...Ema can be pretty sneaky!)


Total disarray!!


She also proceeded to completely undress herself (diaper included), pee in her bed, get out the lotion and use a little on her now naked body, get out the toothpaste and use a little not only on her own toothbrush but everyone else's as well, and then also proceed to wash herself with the shampoo...the entire (FULL) bottle was empty...


This is the spot that I am still getting shampoo out of...(have you ever tried getting an entire bottle of shampoo out of carpet)...it's a sudsy mess!

Christmas Eve 2010


All set to see what "Santa" has left....





Christmas Pajamas.....

Grandma had everyone waiting in anticipation for the gift that they got to open 3 days before Christmas!




MATCHING PAJAMAS!!


And this would be 7 of the 8 "angels" modeling their new jammies just before bed time!!

Adi's 1 year pictures....

Of course all provided by my wonderful and talented cousin!!

Adi's Birthday....


My first attempt at a "Snowgirl" cake....


I believe she is thinking...."really all these gifts for me?"



I am not sure who is more excited for new bath toys...Adi...or the other three!


Loving all the attention on HER!



Such good cake....although the 2 days that followed after this "sugar rush" were not so pleasant!







(I know the video is sideways....I always forget I can't record like that...and I have no clue how to turn it around....so instead turn your computer sideways!)

Eating Spagetti....

All by MYSELF....





What's that....you want a kiss??


So proud of herself...


Sure...why not...everyone needs a little spaghetti in their hair......


I do believe the bathtub was a shade of orange when we were done bathing this beauty!!

A Gift...as big as me!


Adi got to open one of her gifts a couple days before her big day....


She had no problem getting right in there and tearing the paper off....


Such a happy girl...her "very"own car!



But...let's be honest...this is what she really preferred....the box!

Just because...I'm Cute....

And I keeping my Mommy Hoppin'

Merry Christmas!


From our family to yours....we pray that you have a blessed holiday season!
There will be no Egge Christmas picture or letter this year....it's been an "adventurous" year....a year we won't soon forget but we are so grateful for all the blessings this year has brought and we pray for a "quieter/calmer" 2011!!
