Katzman Sleepover


While Ivan & Dave were partying with Phish, Everett had a sleepover at Madelyn & Haley's.  He was so excited and so were Faith and I.  The kids played so nicely in the basement and fell asleep together in the same room. Everett had his own princess bed (so mad I forgot to take a picture).  After the kiddies were asleep Faith and I opened a bottle of wine.  Such a great night for everyone!  The next day the kids made playdoh cookies after breakfast.  We can't wait for our next sleepover!




Rock Band in the basement!


 


A little morning dancing!

Brunch with Alexandra

Today Everett & I met Samara and Alexandra for brunch at International Delight in RVC.  We had a nice date with pancakes and ice cream. Everett and Alexandra played under the table (sneaky) while Sam and I got to talk.  When we were leaving the kids were playing with the gumball machine and Ev started playing the ATM all of a sudden he turns around with $20 in his hand!!! It was great! Nice treat for brunch!

"Party At My Crib"

Everett has been so excited all week to hang out with Kenzie. Liz had a few things to do in the city so she dropped Kenzie off and we all got to play.  Everett and Kenzie had breakfast together and then hit the playdoh! They had so much fun and Ev was sad to see her go!



Back to the Doctor

After visiting the doctor last week we had to return again.  Everett developed some sort of rash on his wrist. I wasn't sure what it was but Liz saw it today during our playdate and told me it was most likely ringworm! I have never seen this, so off to the doctor we went.  It was confirmed - he has RINGWORM! We have no idea how he got it but its itchy and contagious so we have to keep it covered around other kids!

My First Time Babysitting




Ross turned 33 today and I got the best present of all - the chance to watch Ryan while Michele took him out!  Ryan mostly slept which was nice quiet time for me but when she did wake up I got her to give me the biggest smile!  She is just the cutest!!

Christmas 2011

One night I was on the phone with Jenn and she said that Charles & Dad decorated the tree and it's done! I have never missed a tree decorating so I immediately called Charles and demanded he take down the decorations and we would be there that weekend to decorate! Well he did and we were there! Everett had a lot of fun with Uncle Charwarles - he is such a great Uncle.  The tree came out great (it included our Menorah decorations) and we all had a blast!

We celebrated Christmas at The Casper's and it was very nice. Everett had a great time with his 2nd cousins! The next day we went to Dad's and opened all the gifts from Santa and the family. Everett loved every second of it and we all stayed in our PJ's!

 


All the Cousins

The Doctor Will See You Now...



Everett is such a good patient. He has had a cold for a while now so we brought him to the doctor. He has no fear and goes right to the table. It is so cute to watch him interact with Dr. Halek.

Hanukkah Chanuka Hanukah

On the first night of Hanukkah we went to see the Tree at Rockefeller Centre. Everett loved it for all of 2 minutes and then we went to the lego store! We wandered over to St Patrick's Cathedral which Everett thought was a castle! It was beautiful inside and Everett and I lit a candle for Mom. It was a very sweet moment!

This year for Hanukkah all the Gabel's did a "Secret Santa".  It was so much fun to get together and share all the gifts. Everett had a great time and was pooped after.  Grandma was the best gift of all!

Coolest Kids Party

Suzanne was so nice to invite us to the family day at Viacom. They had an entire day mapped out of activities and special guests. Everett and Loren got to Build a Bear, meet SpongeBob & Dora make cookies, get tattoos and the BEST of all meet The Fresh Beat Band. Everett and Loren were star struck! It was such a great day and we are so thankful we were invited! Thanks Rosenthal's!

SHE'S HERE!

Ryan Summer Gabel joined the world on November 16, 2011 at 9:55am. She was 8lbs 8oz and 21 inches long. We are so excited to have a baby Gabel girl in the family - I think Everett is the most excited!  Michele & Ross are adjusting to life with their tiny miracle. 
We couldn't be happier for them!




Daddy needs SLEEP!


"How can something so small need so much stuff"!
LOL!!!! Welcome to PARENTHOOD!
Can you find Ryan...?

A Day in Central Park


Ivan had Everett partake in a short Internet segment at Susan Blond's apartment. The best part about it was that Everett got a chance to play the drums - he's a natural! After, Ivan, Michelle and Everett all went to Central Park. Everett is such such a city kid!!
