Who goes there?

I don't know why, but I had the urge to post a photo of Susan's tax man.

More photos from our visit with the young ones last weekend

 
 I see a theme in the Thielen kids - Sam, Anna and Garrett are definitely in a cowboy and cowgirl phase. They seem to take it seriously, too.


 Don't mess with Anna Bandana.

 Nancy ran an art class for the kids with a variety of paint sets that she bought for them.







 After art class, Garrett and Sam bundled up and played a football game in the front yard.

Emily's birthday party


 Oh, this is so sweet, the two Brenneman sisters Natalie and birthday girl Emily
 Nancy and I took my mom to Salina on Saturday to celebrate the first birthday of my great-niece Emily. We had a great time with the birthday girl!

 Grandma Siefers and her great granddaughter Natalie.

 Natalie led us in singing happy birthday - twice.

 Nancy, Susan and I gave Emily a set of cars. They seemed to be very popular with Emily and Natalie.

 The sweetest birthday girl in the world!


 Natalie showed off the birthday cake cones that she and her mom Stacia made for the party.  Natalie likes to make faces for the camera.

 After the cake, Emily needed a bath.


 After the meal and cake, Natalie entertained us with a dance show. 





 John cleaned the kitchen so the rest of us could enjoy Natalie's dance show.

 Enjoy the many faces of Natalie - I think John only has one expression, but it is a big smile.




 Natalie orchestrated this photo - she decided who would sit where, how they would put their arms, and when I would take the photo.  Isn't she wonderful?


This is one of several photos that Natalie took at the party.

 More photos by Natalie - thanks Stacia for sending the photos to me.
