VARIOUS PHOTOS OF STEFIE, NOVEMBER 30, 2007


Stefie loves music so I purchased a few
toy instruments for her and she loved
the guitar. The video did not come out
well, but it was hysterical as Stefie kept
wiggling her hips when she plays the guitar.
She looks a bit like Elvis when she moves her
hips. Too funny!




Our baby has graduated to a booster
seat.


Stefie was thrilled to test out
her new seat.

BUILD A BEAR, NOVEMBER 27, 2007

Jon and I took Stefanie to build her first bear (a.k.a Clarice, Rudolph's girlfriend). During our long wait for Stefanie to come home from China Jon purchased Rudolph for Stefie in December, 2005. Stefie loves Rudolph, Hermie, Cornelius and the Snow Monster. We thought Stefie needed to have Clarice when she watched her Rudolph Video with her other characters. One day Stefie asked for Santa too! I purchased a small Santa so when she watches her video everyone is there to join her.

This was just too cute! Stefie loves Clarice and Rudolph, she carries them all over the house. We found it was easier to have Clairce's shoes off and remove the collar, as Stefie kept taking them off and misplacing them in the house.












Not sure what to do with this?


Oh!

SUPER SATURDAY, CRAFT DAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2007

Theresa (my sister) and I were invited to attend a Super Saturday Craft day with my girlfriend/neighbor Janene. Super Craft Day was exactly what they meant!

Along with several of our neighbors we painted, glued, sanded, stenciled, made ribbons, and baked. All in just a few short hours. We laughed, enjoyed the company, and a great lunch! Theresa and I made plaques, magnet boards, and a clock. I took a baking class with Janene taught by our friend/neighbor Joyce. I was given some wonderful tips on canning, great holiday gift ideas and great recipes. We had a wonderful day and lunch! Thank you Janene and Joyce for a great day!

Ladies having a great time!

I will have to work on my skills, but the taste was
absolutely wonderful!

It all began with a commercial.

I knew he was a BIG celebrity and I had to step in and take action quickly.

So the day finally came.
