SNOW!

Here are the last few pictures from 2008, and then it's on to 2009! We decided that if David was going to play Guitar Hero on our new Wii, then he needed to look the part! I found some hair wax at the store and the day after Christmas we sent him upstairs to get ready to be a rock star!




Ha, ha! He caught me taking pictures :oD (Like I miss pictures of David with a mohawk!) He actually pulled off the look quite well, I thought.






We finally picked out a color that we all liked for the hallway and Chris started painting on the 2nd! I LOVE it!



The corners still need to be done, and the walls need a second coat, but the hallway already looks so much more cheerful! The blue even makes me not mind so much that all the wood trim was painted white by the previous owners!







Chris and I pooled our Christmas money, and added a little more to that, and finally replaced our (very) old television. Chris loves that he can now read the score on any sport that he watches. I love that the top 1/5 of the picture is not upside-down anymore. David loves playing games on the bigger screen, and Lauren loves that Dora is giant! Now we've just got to hide all those cords . . .






Lauren is getting to be such a big girl! She's even stopped trying to feed Miley her food at snack time. Miley is not so excited about that.











Lauren started soccer on the 5th and loves it! She doesn't quite have the "no hands" thing down yet, but she is definitely into all the running. She seem to like picking the ball up and throwing it, maybe she'll be a goalie :oD






This year Lauren actually loves to play in the snow! Last night she helped daddy shovel the driveway. She's still a little confused as to which outdoor activities are winter and which ones are better suited to summer, but it was okay because Chris was there to lend a hand when the wheels got stuck.




Silly Lauren!






I just came across these pictures from a few nights ago and they were so funny that I had to include them :oD Chris grilled some chicken for dinner and I decided to make some curry couscous because it sounded good and I thought I'd introduce the fam to something yummy and different.

Lauren was not too sure about it at first!









One we got her to try a bite, she loved it! (David and Chris are still not convinced that it's something we should eat ever again. Oh, well. Back to the cutting board.)





Since Lauren was crossing her eyes while watching her spoon travel to her mouth, which we all found amusing, we decided to try and teach her to cross her eyes on purpose.






Stare at your finger, Lauren :oD


Well, it started snowing yesterday afternoon and it hasn't really stopped yet! Lauren has already been out in the snow today with David, and David is still out there! I'm off to put Lauren down for her nap, but after she wakes up I'm going to go out and play too! I probably won't get a lot of pictures, due to my fingers being cold and wet and all, but I'll try to post some tomorrow! Have great afternoon!!
