Start time was 2pm and we had put Sienna down early for a nap. It worked out well as she willingly went to sleep after lunch (also earlier) and swim class helped with that. She slept for 3 hours although I basically woke her up so who knows how long she would have really slept.<\/p>\n<p>It was super fun! Peter made his delicious deviled eggs, Nate and Mari made fruit kabobs and Joy brought over her Wii with Guitar band setup (drums, guitars and microphone!) Yves came up with the brilliant idea of putting one of the extra tvs in the garage and setting up the Wii there. We kept the food simple with Bubba frozen burgers (quite good for frozen!) and hot dogs. I made my Potato Apple salad and a new recipe, a lighter version of Cold Sesame Noodles from Martha&#8217;s website. For dessert I made homemade oreo cookies, banana choco chip muffins and at the last minute decided to try vegan vanilla cupcakes with butterscotch frosting. Everything was well received! Yves has a funny video of us during rock band. Apparently, you could hear the singing a bit from the front of the house. I might be getting some funny looks from the neighbors!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/01siennawalk.jpg\" alt=\"01siennawalk.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThere really is no reason I posted this shot, it&#8217;s just that Sienna looks like such a grown up here!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/02siennadrums.jpg\" alt=\"02siennadrums.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nSienna really took to the drums!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/03natemariskip.jpg\" alt=\"03natemariskip.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nSkippy was eyeing the hot dog on the table!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/04siennarockband.jpg\" alt=\"04siennarockband.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/05drumduet.jpg\" alt=\"05drumduet.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nDid I mention that Sienna really took to the drums?<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/06yvesdrums.jpg\" alt=\"06yvesdrums.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nYves&#8217; drum solo<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/07yvesasleep.jpg\" alt=\"07yvesasleep.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nGrilling is hard work!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/08doysienna.jpg\" alt=\"08doysienna.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nJoy cutting up a burger for Sienna.
