Why use a teddy bear . . . . . . . .

. . . . . when you have a little brother?!

Isaac and Jake

Jake has the "Klahn mouth" - it's open all the time!

Quite a popular "teddy bear"!

Seibels!!

On Sunday evening Mom planned a surprise "40 days before his 40th birthday" party for Dad, for adults (it was held at a restaurant). So all of us kids went to our friends, the Seibels, for the evening. Mr. & Mrs. Seibel were at the party too, so there were 20 (15 girls, 5 boys!) kids ranging in age from 18 years to 4 1/2 months!! We had a BLAST! We got there around 5:15 and were there till quarter to 12am (Mom and Dad came to the Seibels after the party and we drove home together).

Here are some pictures of the evening:

Ike
I told him that if he didn't let me get a good picture of him I'd put this one on the blog, so here it is!

Emily

Leah & Emily

Everyone watching "Magnificent Seven"

Emmy holding Dawson - cuties!

The "big girls": Emily, Leah, Aliisa & Lydia

Awww - Lydia & Dawson

Emmy, Natalie & Lily

While the younger girls played dress-up most of the night, us older ones either played ping-pong or cards.

Emily & Logan take on Zack & Lydia

Concentrating on the ball . . . . .

An amusing round!

Logan & Lydia

Leah & Aliisa - very determined

It's easier to watch the little ones when you just carry them around with you, but it's a little more difficult when you're playing around-the-world!

Emily & Zack were undefeated

These two were too busy being goofy to get any points!

Logan
You can tell he was the only boy for 9-10 years - it's rubbed off on him!
