Christmas Time

Decorating for Christmas is big around the Evans house. I think Bob and Molly look forward to it all year long. Our light display gets bigger and bigger every year and Bob says "it's just for the kids" - sure! I am a little behind getting the pictures up, we have had the lights and tree done since Thanksgiving. Both girls had been sick with the croup which lasted a lovely 2 weeks. We got over that and then Molly and I came down with a flu bug yesterday. Molly is doing much better today, but I am still lagging behind.

Molly had her Christmas program for school on the 15th and it was great. No repeat episodes of the ballet dancing on stage that occurred last year. The school lines up on stage and sings about 8 different Christmas songs. Molly's favorite was Feliz Navidad - go figure! In the middle of the last song she did announce to a packed church that she had to go potty. At least she keeps it interesting for us!

Kylie has been a crab the last two days and now we know why - WE HAVE TEETH, FINALLY! Today we can feel the bottom two starting to poke through. She had her 9 month checkup this week and is still hanging out near the top of the chart for height and weight. She is just under 20 lbs. and is 29 inches tall. Bob calls her Sasquash, oh how feminine. She is getting more and more comfortable on her feet and is furniture cruising at top speed.

I have lots of pictures so I am going to attempt putting them in a slide show. Hope it works!

Have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

We hope you all had a Happy Turkey Day! My parents come over to enjoy the day with us. We ate lots of great food and were completely stuffed! Before we ate, Molly said she would like to sing a Thanksgiving song for us. The song was NEVER ENDING, but she sang her little heart out and it is moments like those that make Thanksgiving so special! Kylie shoveled in mashed potatoes and Molly ate all the cornbread on the table.


It was off to bed early for us because mom had a plan for Black Friday. My mom picked me up at 4:30 and we were off. The crowds weren't too awful and we did find lots of great deals. Definitely worth waking up a little bit earlier.

Saturdays Main Event - GOOOOO GATORS!!!
What a great game! So sorry to my sister and brother-in-law (both FSU grads) who traveled all the way to Tallahassee for a nice butt kickin'.
For all you PA folks who noticed Molly's Penn State shirt in the last post, don't be fooled - they are really Gators at heart. We are already training (Bob says brainwashing) Kylie on the Gator Chomp. Here's a pic of Kylie getting a front row seat for the game.



Bob and Molly have been hard at work decorating for Christmas and I will post more pics soon.
