Busy Sunday

We went to the gym so I could play tennis from 1 to 2pm then shot straight to Theo's 4th year party which was just down the street from the gym. A lot of Laura's classmates were there but not her "best friend" Thomas.
Then off to Thomas' house for his mom's 40th birthday party. Laura got a present from Leah. "Piggie"

They're pretending to eat fake food while Laura's talking on a fake phone.

Clean up

It took a while because Laura couldn't focus and help me get the job done. She played mostly and then wiped herself out.
Then we did nothing for the rest of the day besides hang out, eat and watch tv.

Happy New Year

New Year's Eve was spent at Leila's house for dinner and we came home before midnight.
New Year's day was overcast. It snowed in the morning with these big fat wet flakes, then it all turned to rain but we had some fun in the snow anyway.

I should feed this girl. Her poor little snow man.

The rest of the time was spent playing indoors. She especially loves her Polly Pockets. (a little toooo much, you'll see) She even drew our family. Starting from left: mom, dad, baby Laura and Laura. Apparently we have 2 bellybuttons.

During dinner Laura was talking nonstop as usual. "Blah, blah,blah, something in my nose, I need a tissue." This is what came out. A Polly Pocket shoe! OY! I have no idea why kids like sticking stuff in their nostrils!

What a way to start the new year. At least it wasn't spent in the ER trying to get toys out of her nose!

Hot Cocoa

Cookies

This morning, I asked Laura what we should do today. She said "I want to make some cookies".

I think this is the reason why.

Christmas

We were invited to a feast at our neighbors house from the old neighborhood.

Merry Christmas

I guess I shouldn't count on any music scholarships in her future.

Another snowy day and a Christmas party!

It snowed all day. Again.
Laura had her Christmas party at school.

MMMmmmm. Treats!

Santa!

Laura got a present! A Tinkerbell lantern.

Thomas got a present too!

Tommy came over

We picked up "Tommy" from school today because his poor father was getting some dental work.

They watched Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer for about 5 minutes.
Then came into the play room to cut paper because that is so much more fun.
I got them to eat spinach by using strawberry yogurt as dressing. Yummy. Well, Laura ate all of her spinach and Thomas ate about 4 leaves.
They had a good time together.

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

Ever since I put up Laura's tree, she has been pestering me about how there is no star at the top of the tree. I still haven't even attempted to bring any Christmas decorations down from the attic (ok, it's probably not going to happen this year, bah humbug). I decided that we would have to MAKE a star instead. The star was made of construction paper and adorned with sparkle paint, Dora and Hello Kitty stickers!

Now our holiday is complete!
