The girls went to my parent's for New Year's eve and Scott and I went down to First Street Pub

 so we could listen to The Friction Brothers play. (The band that our doctor is in)

The girls enjoyed playing Snoopy (my brother Ian's game from when he was a kid)

Lauren's First Visit to the Dentist

Lauren had her first visit to the dentist today.  She did great!!

My Birthday Weekend

Scott surprised me with tickets to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  They were amazing!

The girls spent the weekend with my parents.  They made a birthday cake with my mom for me.  

Family Photos

Due to Scott's Dad passing away unexpectedly in October, we did not get around to getting Lauren's 3 year old photos.  Our friend Shandal agreed to come over and take pictures of our family so we could have a family photo and Lauren's 3 year photo.

Electives-Sock Monkey

Another project we did was a sock monkey.  This one was a little harder as Emily had not ever sewn yet.  I did the machine sewing and Emily tried her hand as sewing with a needle and thread.

Thanksgiving 2006

We spent Thanksgiving with my parents at their place.  

We continued our tradition of making a Christmas ornament after we had dinner and had cleaned up.  The girls had fun making snowmen about of felt and they used pony beads to decorate them.
