Happy New Year!

We spent the last few days of 2008 finishing up with some holiday fun. We went to the Festival of Lights in St. Augustine with Lennox's cousins. 

Then we went to spend a few days with my parents. Lennox had a lot of fun playing with his cousins. Mommy ended up getting sick down there, so it was nice to have some extra hands to help with my little bit.

On New Year's Eve we went out with our friends to a Japanese Steakhouse. It was the same one Lennox had been to for his cousin David's birthday. This time he was not as enthusiastic about the fire in front of him and it kind of freaked him out. 

This was a rare moment of lovin between Lennox and his friend Kate. My friend Kelly and I call them Harold and Opal because they are a lot like my Aunt Opal and Uncle Harold. They bickered all the time, but loved each other tremendously. Kate and Lennox are the same way. They bicker a lot, but Kate tells everyone she is going to marry Lennox.  Next year they may be going to the same Pre-K so that should be interesting.

On New Year's Day we hung around the house. Mommy was still getting over strep throat. Lennox showed us how he could play with patterns. Mama was impressed. I hadn't taught him that at home. Such a big boy!

We cuddled in bed and took a long nap that day and then our friends came over that night for some games.

We celebrated Daddy's birthday that weekend. Once at my parents and then again the next day at Mark's parents. Lennox is a great present helper. 

This year is sure to bring many more adventures for Lennox. He is getting so big, learning so much, and has such an amazing personality showing through now.
