Christmas Fun

Tonight we made our first gingerbread house as a family. T was participating from the highchair. Turned out pretty good.

This was expected from daddy.... Daisy is waiting for her turn
Only in Louisiana can you see a crawfish & shrimp light display!

Christmas Program

Today was W's Christmas program at school. He walked in with his class and sat down. He made sure everyone knew who his mommy and daddy were. He was pointing and waving smiling big. However, he was in his own little world up on stage but I must say he did just as good as any other boy up there. The girls on each side of W took the stage. The one on the right cracked me up yelling. I thought she was going to smack W with some of the moves on a few songs. Here's a couple for you to enjoy.

Christmas Treats

These are the treats I did for W's preschool class. I got this idea from another friends blog, Brooke. I modified it for Christmas and they turned out so cute. This is an EASY, CHEAP treat for all your kids' classmates. They are Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes. All I did was add a stick and a bow. Thanks for the idea Brooke!

More on the Big Blizzard of '08

It snowed steadily till about noon today. I would guess we got about an inch. Too bad it won't stick around. W drove his dumptruck around the yard yelling "here comes the snow plow!" You can tell he didn't grow up here.

Don't let this smile on T's face fool you....he didn't like the snow very much at all. He's growing up to be a warm weather kind of guy.
W in action throwing a snowball at me! Got me good too.

Snowin' in the Big Easy!

Yes, it's true! It actually snowed today. I have only heard people around here say "well there was that snow back in '89" Guess our move here brought the snow. Today I feel like I'm back in Louisville. Of course all the schools are closed (yes, I'm laughing too but these people don't know how to drive in light snowflakes that don't stick) To say the least, we are staying inside today and enjoying the snow - we may not see anymore again the whole time we live here. Here are a couple of pics for proof. I thought the picture of the snow and palm trees showed just how much of an oxymoron this is.

Trouble with a capital "T"

Picture says it all......
I laughed to myself when I told S to run and go get the camera. "Yes, you're bad but let's get a picture!"
