Our Family Cooking Show

It has been quite a while since the last post. Now that the holidays are just a memory (although we are still trying to clean up and put away from all of the holiday fun!) I plan on blogging more frequently. Hopefully this resolution turns out better than the Pilates (which is still in the package!)

Lauren wanted to help Dad with the brownies the other night. Of course she wanted Andrew to help also ("But don't touch anything!"). It was quite entertaining to watch them "teach" Andrew how to cook! He seemed to enjoy himself!





(You wouldn't even know that she just got a cute hair cut. I choose my battles about hair brushing on a daily basis. We must not have been going out on this day!)

Christmas

After five consecutive days of present opening, we are home again and hoping to relax a bit. The kids had a blast (and brought home "a few" gifts). We are considering adding on to the house... Anyway, here are a few pictures from the holidays...

Lauren's first snowman...

The family at Grandma's...

Andrew meets Santa (and Lauren wasn't shy this year!)...

Christmas morning...

Lauren's new doll house (A giant kept sneaking in through the window)...

We hope that all of your holidays were as nice and enjoyable as ours!

Snow

Lauren has really been enjoying the snow that we received over the weekend. She is excited that Daddy will be home tomorrow too...the first snow day of the year!

A Birthday Surprise

Tomorrow is Todd's birthday (but also play group day!) so we surprised him with balloons and a cake at lunch today. Lauren was so excited to surprise daddy!

Cookie Weekend

We just completed our "Fourth Annual Cookie Weekend" at our house. Both of our families ventured to the great north to bake (and the guys always find something "manly" to do :) Here are a few of the goodies that we made. We always say that we are going to make less cookies the next year...but we always seem to bake even more!

The ladies and their goodies!

Abby, Andrew and Lauren - they are so adorable!

Our little angels!

The Brasher Family

Enjoy! :)

Two Cuties

After we finally got changed out of our pajamas today (oh, maybe around 4:00) we took some very cute pictures of the kids. I might be a little biased, but take a look...

Can you believe that he is already crawling??!!

They really do love each other...
although Lauren is quickly learning that Andrew moves quickly when he wants one of her toys !
