It didn't take long...

For Hannah to figure out how to unwrap presents! Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.

Hannah loves to listen and dance to the new music she got.

She also got some pretty new butterfly and pink earrings from her Aunt Lis.

Hannah is all ready to spend the night at Grandma's house!

Hannah cheesin' it for the camera! Newsflash*** Hannah finally has her third tooth coming in! The top front right one!

Hannah thought she'd help Noah out...the one thing missing on the ark...baby dolls!

Maybe the box isn't so fun..

So we will post more Christmas pictures later, but this couldn't wait! Hannah got to open up presents from all of her family in Illinois tonight. She was very excited about Noah's Ark and all of the animals!

Of course all of the animals were twisty tied beyond belief and it took a while to get them loose. Above...the box is still fun!

Hannah got tired of waiting so she decided to explore the box some more. The best we can figure out is that because there was a clear side to it she thought she could climb through. Notice the above squeezing technique she utilized to enter the box. (Arms outstretched in front of her... hair smearing by as she wiggles her way in..) As you can imagine with all of the effort it to her to get in, we knew getting out would be just as difficult! And below is the rest of the story. No captions needed cause a picture is worth a thousand words!

An artist in the making

Hannah has finally figured out other things to do with the crayons they hand her at restaurants besides eat them!

Good thing we don't have a chimney...

Cause Hannah is not a fan of Santa!

There's Christmas in the air

This is just a darn cute picture! Funny you'd think with all the pictures we took, we'd have a final picture of the decorated tree! Maybe another blog entry! This weekend we spent some time in the Christmas atmosphere here at the Daurer home. Trimmin the tree, listening to Christmas music on itunes, building a gingerbread house, attempting to send off Christmas cards, burning a duralog in the chimenea right outside the sliding door so it felt like we had a fireplace, finishing our Christmas shopping online...you know the usual!

Hannah is very good at smelling things now. Here she is sniffin the tree.

After a little instruction and help with a couple of candy canes Hannah was a pro at hanging them herself! Only problem...everytime she hung one on she took it off again!

There's always a grinch in the group right?

Poor poor Sadie.... Yet another humiliating photo and it's only the beginning of the Christmas season!

Gingerbread House

The finished product! Below are pictures of the fun we had making it!

Oh Christmas Tree...Oh Christmas Tree...

Here it is the "Delux Charlie Brown" tree of 2006!

Here's the whole gang post tree cutting.

Here are the guys standing with our tree's. Pay no attention to the fact that you can see through them all....we'll buy more ornaments!

All the Daurer girls!

Hannah being pulled in on her new birthday sled! She loved it and as you can see she wanted to drag her arm in the snow the entire way!

All the babies who put up with their parents crazy ideas! Hannah Joy, Hannah Grace, and Sam. As you can see Hannah Joy is sitting mostly unsupported , Hannah Grace completely unsupported, and Sam was half buried in the snow! But he looks good!
