christmas in september

bryan and kim provided us with a bit of christmas in september with a big box full of presents...

ellen fed larry the lobster some stickers and was very curious about his 'feelers' what do you actually call those things??

stickers are always a big hit...ellen very carefully and conscientiously (?) selected several for her butterflies

and she had a great time painting. we haven't gotten out the rest yet - although she is doing a great job getting isaiah's very cool retro bee worn in for him. i'll try to get a picture of the bee soon. it looks really familiar - did you have one as kid bryan? and the clothes are absolutely adorable! maybe if its cool enough they can wear them on sunday and i'll take another picture.

thanks bryan and kim! that was an awesome surprise.

Ellen is the sticker QUEEN! and I was just talking to Sarah about getting Ellen some paint with water books, and couldn't find any. You guys are mind readers. Wish I could have still been there to play too!!!; 9/20/2005 04:10:00 AM

Wray Davis said...: Oh... And I don't think I had the bee as a kid, though it looks familiar. What we did have was the Fisher-Price toy phone... the one with eyes, remember? That was on sale there, too, but we decided you had plenty of things that make noise, and got the bee instead.; 9/20/2005 05:51:00 AM
