abby having fun in maine

red fish lodge

this was a family photo of the family at redfish lake this summer, 07. we surprised emily as it was her 10th birthday this year and we like to have a special birthday for those who have '0 birthdays, i.e. 10, 20, 30, etc. she really likes snowboarding so the theme for the party was winter and we brought winter hats and scarfs. emily is such a great kid and we love her very much.

dress -up time

the girls decided they wanted to dress-up. emily is wearing my wedding dress - i think she was surprised how little it was. it fit her around the waist but not in the "boobs" nor the length. maren found my housecoat and sadie found an african dress that i had borrowed from a friend.
