Warm Wooly Pants

This is Olive's "happy face" she made for me :)

"this watermelon tastes like cotton!"

I made these warm wooly pants out of the sleeves of an old sweater. I felted it first so it would be super warm and water repellent (especially needed if you want to use it as a cloth diaper cover). I found the tutorial on line and would gladly share it.

Perfect winter day to wear wooly pants!

Good start to 2012

We've been busy so far this January! We celebrated Chris' 29th Birthday on the 4th. Here Olive is making his card.

She's an old pro at opening up gifts, so Daddy let her help with this one. 

Little ham

One of her favorites: Banana!

Yep, guess who found her shadow?! She LOVES looking for it, and waving... as she is here :)

We had so much fun watching Ela and Izzy last night. We made cookies with the girls! They were all a great help and the cookies were delicious!

Miss Gabriela posing!

The gears are turning :)

They were all such good helpers!

Hmmm, what's this?

Well... that's pretty good!

Christmas, again!

We left for the cities Friday, but first Olive had to play with her kitchen from Grandma and Grandpa Hermann. She loves cutting the wooden food and sharing her noodles with Daddy. She also loves to wear her cute little giraffe apron from Aunt Joni.

We had another wonderful Christmas over the weekend. We traveled to the cities and had so much fun with Chris' family! Here Olive must be telling a funny joke :)

This adorable giraffe was crocheted by Aunt Amanda... with no pattern! Great job Amanda! She loves her cute giraffe :)

Laughing with Aunt Jan

Reading with Grandma

Olive's favorite: a new baby. Great pick, Uncle Adam!

Time for a little dessert!

Having a little whipped cream with Grandpa

Sharing apples for breakfast with Giraffe

Olive LOVES trucks! Especially fire trucks, so we had to get her picture taken in front of this one. This was right outside the Children's museum in St. Paul. 

The very nice St. Paul firefighters invited us over to take a look at the  truck up close!!

Inside the truck! How cool!

At the Children's Museum

She loved the water stations!

On our way home after a fun and busy weekend! Yep, that's an apple she fell asleep with :)

Happy New Year! We made this bed for her new baby and she decided she ought to get in there too.
