Doodlebop Show

We got 2 tickets to see the DoodleBop show from Melissa, Milla's mom. It was a really nice present. We enjoyed the show really much as Nadia recognized the Doodlebop's crew : Rooney, Deedee and Moe from the TV. 

Nadia's Daddy was just so worry that we drove in a frigid cold weather for 1.5 hour to get to Auburn Hills and thinking about walking from the huge parking lot to the show, made him drove us to the show, dropped us up right on the door and he ended up having a good time at Starbucks Coffee with Aidan and picked us up right on the door again and went home.

The weather was unbearably cold. We went outside just for 2 minutes and our head were just freezed! 

We came home and Nadia fell asleep happily without eating dinner... she was just so happy and tired.

Milla, Melissa, thank you so much for the show.

Plowing and Nadia had fun!

Finally

Nadia hates to be taken pictures of. She won't see the camera... or she would run away, or just playing deaf. 

I finally showed her the picture I took in September when she was out of the blue asking me to take picture of her and literally posed in front of the camera! Then I showed her the pictures I took which was almost all blurry, or not looking, or just a fake smile but still not looking at the camera.

I convinced her to take just some pictures and asked her to sit down against the window and asked her to LOOK at the camera and smile naturally. I asked her to sing one of the song from Sound of Music... Here it is.. finally I got the nice picture of her again.

Another quote from her today :

Ammar: "Let's go out, Nadia."

Nadia : "Okay Daddy, but tomorrow we are going to go out in the snow BUT only for playing, Daddy. Don't clean the drive way or working. We are going to play in the snow...."

(aaaaahhh.. finally my complain to Ammar got the support from my little girl.. hahaha)

Nadia's snowman

This time, there is no Ammar's involvement in the making of snowman. It was Mommy Nadia time, of course, when Ammar was plowing the snow with the tractor, we played with the snow. The snow was too dry and powdery, it was kind of hard to make the balls from it, so we just shovel the snow, and carve it to be snowman. The snowman looks good, we think. Nadia was satisfied, and the neighbors can see because this year, we made snowman in the front yard instead of the backyard.

This is the picture of the snowman on the 3rd day, melted a bit, but not much.

Happy New Year 2008

New Year January 1 started by waking up and cuddling together in our bedroom, watching how much snow we had from the snow storm overnight starting on the new year's eve.

Our drive way is just soooo long.. Ammar needs help from the neighbor to help out to make the path for his tractor. The wheels needed to be chained but it has not been, so he got slipped several times in the snow.

Lots of snow, so me and Nadia decided to make snow in the front of our house, not in the back yard as we always did. It was hard to mold, because the snow was so dry and powdery. Nadia didn't care, she ran in and dipped herself in the snow, licking the snow, doing lots of snow angels, and of course... making snow man. We had to continue the next day because the snow was just too powdery.

We went out to do shopping once Aidan woke up from nap and Mommy bought Nadia the snowman set, and the snowman looks so awesome... it was really nice that Mommy don't have to bring out chocolates, candies, and carrots for the snowman's attributes, instead she just bring everything out of the box to make snowman's eyes, hat, scarf, etc... voila..
