Valentine's Day

Lauren's Valentine's day party at preschool was this morning. We put these little bags together last week. Lauren was in charge of getting all the goodies into each bag and I was to staple the toppers on. She had a ball picking out what color of m&m bags should go with which color of bubble wands.

Now, that I've somewhat covered what has happened in the past two months, I'll try to keep more current. Seems like the days are just flying by now. . .

Drawings

Lauren LOVES doing anything that involves artsy stuff. She will do a whole activity book in one afternoon just because she gets to use fun things like markers & colored pencils. She makes pictures on a daily basis for Elliott to take to work. You should see the pile he has going on. If you ever receive a piece of mail from you, it will most definitely contain at least one drawing since that will be one less that needs to go on my refrigerator. :) Lately, she has taken to making signs. Here is one of her latest . . . her attempt at keeping Andrew out of her room.

Quick Christmas Recap

Here is Lauren before her Christmas program at preschool. This year she was baby doll. Their programs are short but very sweet. Lauren instructed us to sit close to the front so she could see us this year. She spotted us but I think it was because she could probably hear Andrew singing along to all the songs.

The Harris grand kids


We had a great day w/ everyone coming to our house.


(Notice Lauren & Andrew both have bare feet. They are bare foot 90% off the time. I don't wear shoes too much either . . .)




Lauren with the reindeer food that she made at preschool. She & Elliott went and spread it in the front yard for the reindeer to have a snack while Santa slipped into the house to drop off his presents. They must have loved it because we couldn't find any traces of it come morning. ;)
Leaving cookies for Santa!


Santa requested peanut butter cookies this year and we obliged. I always thought Santa should have sugar cookies but it seems peanut butter must be his favorite.
