Growth since last Christmas...


We received this beautiful moose last Christmas from Brian's mom. She traced Evelyn's hands and foot to make the moose--too cute! How wonderful to receive another this Christmas so we can see how much Evelyn has grown in the past year!

Christmas present from Grandma and Grandpa Rice

Evelyn got a rocking chair from Grandma and Grandpa Rice! She wasn't too sure at first, but she ended up really liking it!

The living room after round #1!
Evelyn in her new "igloo" (a tent from Ikea.) She loves it!

"Oooooooh..." Fisher Price barn, tractor and animals. Not quite like what we had as kids (remember how the barn door would "moo" when you opened it?)

Christmas Eve 2009





Legs are getting longer!




Christmas cards!


Evelyn has enjoyed receiving Christmas cards from her grandparents this year! We let her open them herself and she did quite well. She was ooooing and ahhhing over them! She even tried to put the cards back in to the envelopes when she was done "reading" them.
