Our New Favorite Past-times!

But first, we had a nice a relatively quiet New Year's Eve dinner at Pap & Nanny's and then home for watching the ball drop. Izzy was a party animal in her PJ's, she even made until 10pm (but that was mainly due to the fact she had a 3 hour nap that day). On New Year's Day we had a yummy dinner with Papaw & MeeMaw after we had done some much needed touch-up painting to our dining room, kitchen and hallway. We had a very very wonderful, relaxing, productive, family-oriented vacation! In fact, I decided while I was off that I wanted to be a stay at home mom, which of all the things I've wanted to do and be in my life; that has never been one of them. *sigh* So on to the title of this post...

Lil' Miss. Izzy has discovered Clark's closet and loves to take off running down the hall, through the bedroom, into the closet, sits down on the floor and covers up with her daddy's pj pants or t-shirt (whichever is closest). It is probably the funniest thing I have yet to see her do!

Her other new favorite thing to do is pull all of our stuffed animals out of the storage baskets, study each one, show it to whoever is closest and then place it on the floor. There is a catch to this; she is terrified of the cows. There are 3 in the basket and each time she gets to one she wines, shifts her feet, points to the cows-for someone (not her)-to move it. Where this aversion to the cows has come from; we have no idea. Just less than 2 weeks ago she played fine with one of them that was previously in our bedroom. Also, the kind of funny thing is that we moved these storage baskets (which are stools as well) into the dining room area b/c the den was becoming over-crowded with all the new Christmas toys. So basically, now we're eating with about 50 stuffed animals scattered at our feet everyday. Who knew meal-time with that many guests could be so much fun?
Papaw to the rescue; saving Izzy from anymore contact with the evil cows! :)
