The New Year, Symphony Pie, and Guitar Hero

January 3rd--I don't know what to do with this hair!! It is out of control. She woke up this morning looking like Elvis. She won't keep anything in it--thinks it's a hilarious joke to pull clips out and hand them to me with a triumphant smirk--and she has too many cowlics to cut it. So, I just let it do it's own thing, which is okay most of the time, except when it starts to mix in with all the boogers.
January 2--I have discovered a new love--Guitar Hero! What a fun game. I would have put in a picture of myself jammin' on it, but, well, going on my second day of pajamas here. You can see Davis concentrating really hard on his favorite song by Elephant Bones. He wants to practice really hard so he can be as good as an amazing 9-year old boy who will absolutely blow your socks off. Watch the video on the internet--just google nine year boy guitar hero, and it should take you there. Good times!

January 1st--This New Year's was a peaceful one. We just hung around the house all day in our pajamas, watched the parade, worked on last year's digital photo book, cleaned up from Christmas a bit. I decided to make a Symphony pie for dessert. Mmmm...scrumdiddliumptious! And very easy. Take one large Symphony bar with almonds and toffee bits and melt it in a saucepan. Mix it into a partially thawed large container of cool whip until thoroughly mixed in. Put it into a graham cracker pie crust and voila! Keep in the freezer until you are ready to serve. You can put additional cool whip on top if desired and, for a special New Year's sirprise, put in CLEAN coins, trinkets, fortunes (wrapped in plastic), or a whole almond. (Whoever finds the almond gets the prize!) Enjoy!

mmm, that pies does sound yummy, and really easy.

I have no advice for you on the hair- Claire had two swirls on her head, and when here hair was growing out, it always looked like mess. BUt I thought it was a cute mess.

We just played guitar hero for the first time last weekend and we LOVED it! Spencer was amazing at it. I got booed off the stage. I think that will be Spencer's birthday present next month.
