Hannah + Bella's Play Date

After a nice Easter dinner at the Cristaldi's we were joyfully amused at how Hannah just followed everything that Bella did. she enjoyed playing with her sooooo much, so wore herself out! Just take a look at the two beautiful girls running in the hallway!

Hannah's 1st Easter Egg Hunt

And she was so excited!! We hid a few eggs in the basement for her. They were filled with her favorite snack... goldfish crackers and chocolate Teddy Grahms. Maybe next year she will get some real "easter candy". She loved looking for her eggs, and Murphy helped her eat the snacks. A fun morning for Hannah, and tonight we are going to Bella's house for Easter dinner. A fun filled day!

Happy Easter 2008!

Happy Easter Everyone!! Hannah was SOO excited to see the Easter bunny... she couldn't sit still in line until the big moment came upon her... and then, she was so excited anymore, scared for her life. Maybe next year will be better :)

Spring time in Minnesota!

Jealous aren't you? Nothing like waking up to 5 inches of now on a spring morning. I have to say though, it was actually a "pretty" snow covering the trees and parkway.. and the best part was, it was mostly melted by the time we got home from work. We are hoping we don't see anymore more the white stuff for a long time. We are trying to teach Hannah to say "Melt, Melt, Melt" when she goes outside :)!

A pony tail?

It's true, she is a big girl now. Yesterday, she wore her first pony tail, and boy did she think it was funny. She loved looking in the mirror at starring at her new style. Big things for Hannah these days, as you can see, she is sitting in her dad's office chair, leaning back on the massage chair, that she now knows how to work the remote control too. Scary. And she says new things every day. Her favorite word to see is "baby" as he looks at pictures of herself when she was a newborn and says "baby". Among her favorite works also include "big bird, mippy ( for Mickey mouse), pat, pat ( for the little einsteins), more, duck, nite nite, hi, lion, brown bear, and shocking her says her own version of elephant. Hopefully coming soon her next word will be buckeye :)

Go Wolves...

This posting is a little late... but Hannah went to her first Timberwolves game, VIP style with the Cristaldi's! The night after Disney playhouse, we joined Heidi, Bella and her parents in a suite to watch the game. As Bella and Hannah quickly got bored after the popcorn and soft pretzels were served, we left shortly after half time. Of course.. it was a tied game when we left again the Dallas Mavericks, but when bed time calls, it is time to go. The best part of the game is that it was Crunch's birthday ( the mascot). So, there were plenty of fun activities and entertainment with all the NBA mascots there to join in the birthday celebration!

And she meets the gang...

Hannah had a fun filled day at Bella's 3rd Birthday party watching Disney Playhouse in a skybox at the Target Center. Not only did she get to spend time with Bella and her friends, but she got to meet Minnie and Goofy. Life doens't get better than that for a 1 year old.

And a Big Happy 3rd Birthday to Bella! Check out her awesome little einsteins rocket cake. Bella's mom, grandma and aunt worked really hard on this. Everyone at the party was so impressed. Bella is a very lucky little girl!

The newest mouscateer!

Here is the newest member of the mouscateers. Grandma and Grandpa got Hannah so excited about Mickey Mouse in Ohio, we got our her personalized mouse ears from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Nikki's trip to Disney last summer. She loved running around the house yesterday with her ears on and screeches with excitement to the Hot Dog song. Oh so fun.

Happy Birthday Aunt Nikki, and Happy Valentine's Day 2008!

Hi Aunt Nikki!

I just wanted to wish you a very special Happy Birthday! Daddy helped me make this card for you, I hope you had a great day and I hope Uncle Jeff, Lucas and Jake got you some good stuff :) I miss you lots.

And to everyone else, Happy Valentine's Day! Hannah had an eventful afternoon at school with a Valentine's Day party that consisted of a lot of sugar and cards. She even came home with tattoos on her from the raging party, oh my! Wishing everyone a great day, lots of love, Todd, Erin, Hannah and Murphy!

Hannah & her Cousins!

Who are those Hoosiers?? That's Hannah's cousins Lucas and Jake! Hannah went to Ohio this weekend to visit Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Nikki, Uncle Jeff and Lucas and Jake. Hannah was a little out of her element this weekend and became a bit crabby, but still had a good time overall. Poor Hannah is scared of Uncle Jeff... Uncle Jeff was playing with Jake on the ground tickling him and I think Hannah thought poor Jake was under attack and was scared the same thing would happen to her. So.. might be a little while until she can warm up to him again. She loved playing with Jake and loved her Grandma and Grandpa.. and most of all, lover her horsey rides from Grandpa. Hannah missed her Daddy soooo much while he was in Florida for work and visiting family. She kept pointing to his pictures kissing him on the photo. All very cute and sad at the same time. It might be a little while until Grandma and Grandpa are ready to take Hannah on again, but we are hoping for a nive visit sometime this summer!
