Family lunch

Sunday we had the pleasure of eating lunch with Nana/Grandmother, Mimi, Aunt Jeannie, Uncle James, Aunt Les and Cousin Syd. We had a great time and enjoyed spending time with the family. P. and Syd had a little too much fun during lunch and passed out on the way home. Thanks guys for meeting us for lunch!

Favorite shoes

P. is into making fashion statements. We can't go anywhere without him wearing these shoes.

This morning...

We woke up to snow. It was beautiful. We went to a birthday party at 11 a.m. and everything around us was white. By 1 p.m. it was gone. We thought the kids would actually get to sled for the first time...not a chance.

Our babes enjoying the snowfall.

This is our front yard at 9 a.m. There was much more snow in the backyard.

This is our front yard at 4 p.m. today. Bummer.

Soccer and the new "do"

Yesterday K. had her first soccer practice for the Spring season and P. received a shorter hair cut. I couldn't help but share these cute pictures.

"Vee-got!"

Here's a conversation that just took place between K. and me:

K.: Momma! Momma! I just heard my song from dance class on a commercial. They said, "Aaahh, Vee-got!"

Me: Um, K., could they have been singing, "Aaahh, freak out!"

K.: No, it was "Vee-got!" I heard it.

Proof that she's her father's child. Yes, even the music whiz himself has been a little confused with lyrics. I'll never let him forget, "hold me close I'm tired of dancing." (R.'s lyrics to "Tiny Dancer.")

Cookie Monster

Seems we have our very own Cookie Monster in the house. Two nights ago I caught him red-handed and full-mouthed stealing raw Pillsbury sugar cookies from a baking sheet. Luckily my camera was handy and I was able to snap a few pictures for evidence. Can you believe the expression on his face? I don't know if they are expressions of "I didn't do it!" or "I'm busted!" And the last, well, I was laughing too hard for him to think he was in trouble so he continued to eat his third raw cookie.

More Birthdays

In addition to the millions of birthdays celebrated in December, we celebrate four more immediate-family birthdays in February and March. First up is Mamaw Gail, followed by Cousin Lil, next is Aunt Leslie and finishing up the streak is Aunt Brooke. Unfortunately, Cousin Lil is the only one still celebrating like a child (she's 5 and everyone else, well, let's just say that mid-20s are a thing of the past). These are a few pictures from Lil's big bash.

Decorating cookies.

Thanks, Papaw, for the spoonful of icing.

This is Brooke. Not me. Isn't it scary how much we look alike?

The birthday girl.

That was good.
