Happy New Year!
The Copley family welcomed 2009 by enjoying the final day of 2008 to the fullest!
Tripp started the day with some trains while Bob & I made breakfast - eggs, bacon, biscuits and Tripp's favorite - CHEESE!
Then it was time to go outside and enjoy our NYE snow. Tripp got to try out his new snow pants that Santa gave him.....they got the thumbs up.
No snow angels yet...but he's starting to warm up to the idea of snow. He loves it when Bob & I throw snowballs at each other and will sometimes try to join in (he hasn't mastered mittens). He hates getting snow thrown at him, but he loves being chased by a shovel full of snow as it is dragged back and forth on the driveway.
After a nap and some playtime, it was time to make dinner. Bob & I decided to say good-bye to 2008 by feasting on our favorite meal - Beer & Pizza! Tripp was happy to help make the pizza.
Tripp has been helping me in the kitchen more and more. He still loves playing with his magnets and pots & pans, but sometimes he hops up on a chair and joins me. Pizza is definitely his favorite. I separate the ingredients into separate bowls and I hand him 1 bowl at a time and he puts the toppings "on" or "in"! He is such a good helper, but sometimes mommy has to step in and give it a "finishing" touch.
Yup, he's Bob's son - More CHEESE Please!
Tripp decided to surprise his Daddy with the gift of a double cheese pizza
Finished! Yummy!
We have started expanding our living space into the basement. As one of our gifts to each other, Bob & I bought a wood burning stove. It is in the basement, hence our migration...we have big plans for the basement. It will be our "hang-out" our family space. We plan on finishing the basement slowly over the next several years...baby steps.
Tripp loves eating dinner in the basement. It means he gets to use his big boy table!
We ordered a concert by 2 of our favorite bands , Younder Mountain String Band & Widespread Panic, on PPV via simulcast over the Internet. Sometimes, technology does rock!
