Our Silly Girl

Lainey has become quite a pro at using her little sense of humor to her advantage. She loves to make people laugh...especially her mommy and daddy...especially when she is being corrected for something. It's amazing how fast they learn! Look at some of these goofy, little smiles and tell me that you wouldn't crack up if she flashed one your way...even after pulling the dog's tail!

Snow Day!

We woke up today to the first snow of the year! Jamie was up early to check the school cancellations. Our church has a policy that when school is cancelled, the church is closed...so my working guy gets snow days! We bought a sled yesterday hoping that the forcast was correct and decided when we saw 4 inches that this would be Lainey's first time to play in the snow. She had no clue what was going on as we layered her clothes and put on her new snow pants but she quickly figured out this was going to be fun! Look at this face...not so sure yet. It wasn't long before she dove in. The first time down the hill...such a big girl...all by herself (it was a small hill!)
One of our neighbors brought us a sled with a steering wheel because she thought Lainey might enjoy it and she was right. It was hard to get her off of this one.

Laughing all the way down

A little cookie break
I said "smile Lainey" and I got a mouth full of cookie in this one
Daddy working on the cutest snow man ever made
The snow was a little powdery so Jamie had to work to pack it, but in the end his snow man was the talk of the neighborhood.
The finished product complete with an oreo face and matching scarf and purse.
Believe it or not...the purse was Lainey's idea!
