Disney World January 2009
In January we went to Walt Disney World. It was not one of our better trips. I came down with stomach viurs, Joe's hands broke out in a horrible boil-like rash and my parents' house burnt down. Here are some pictures from the good moments we had.

Christmas 2008
Okay, many of you may have noticed that I have dropped off blogging since Lauren's birthday in November. The next few posts are going to be "catch up" posts. I'll start with Christmas 2008...
Here we've found the perfect Christmas tree for our home.

Birthday Party
Saturday was the day we had Lauren's birthday party. I sent out invitations at the beginning of the month. When hosting parties for Lauren, I've been more interested in doing a color theme versus a character theme - this may change as Lauren gets older and can voice her opinion. Until then, color themes it is... Last year's color theme was pink, green, and yellow. This year I went with chocolate brown and pink polka dots. Being the OCD person that I am, everything coordinated from the invites, to Lauren's dress to the decorations to the cake. As you can see in our family picture, Joe even got into the party spirit by wearing pink to my brown.
I found some brown and pink polka dot material at Hobby Lobby and used it so spruce up my tablescape.
Usually Lauren is all about the sweets but on this day she only ate a little.

As mentioned in a the previous post, Lauren loved her birthday balloons and carried them around all day.
When we were done singing I told her to blow out the candle. Lauren kept saying "Momma blow out." We tried to blow it out together.

The following are some candid shots from the party (compliments to my photographer, Aunt B).
This is Lexi, Lauren's BFF from daycare. These two little girls play so well together.
I debated about what activities to do with the kids. Being 2 years old, organized games are pretty much out of the question. We let the kids play with Lauren's toy's in the family room and that was fine. The hit of the afternoon was this old canister of Mardi Gras beads my mom gave Lauren a few months ago. Every kid (boy and girl) was wearing them around the house. As the kids left, each child got to pick a balloon to take home with them (pink or brown of course). Overall, the party was a success and I look forward to birthday number 3 - as long as it doesn't come too soon.
