I will include some Christmas pictures of the kids, but first I need some opinions from all of you.
I need a new car. We currently lease my 2007 Trailblazer which is due to go back to GM by the end of March. However, I'm about to go over my miles, so we are going to turn it in this month. As we are within three months of the end date, there is no penalty for this. My dilemma is, do I purchase another Trailblazer or, do I go with the new Traverse? I really do love driving the Blazer, but have test driven a Traverse and really like that as well. The Trailblazer would be four wheel drive, while the Traverse would be front wheel drive, but with the new Stabilitrack. This stops you from sliding at all. We tried it out on some icy back roads and Andy couldn't even come close the to sliding or even fishtailing. Also, I really like the look of the Traverse. I have included a picture of both the Trailblazer and Traverse below.

A new 2009 TraverseAnother difference, Traverse has third row seating which makes it very easy to fit 8 people. And I do mean 8 Adult people. We did get in the back and you can easily fit three full sized adults in the last row with plenty of room. Probably the only down fall is it makes the Traverse a little longer than the Trailblazer and there are more blindspots because of the way the windows are set up.
So, I need each of you to vote on which one you would purchase. I'm hoping this will help me decide what to do. Andy has pretty much left it mostly up to me because it's my vehicle.
In conclusion, I'll add a few pictures of the kids around Christmas time.
This picture took about twenty minutes to take because of course they wouldn't sit next to each other.
Here is Drew being oh so cute. This ended up being our Christmas picture for the year.
Here is Anna's Christmas picture for the year.
And just as a bonus. Here is a picture of Hannah and Mom at our Christmas party.

I, personally, like the Traverse, and it's something new--plus you said you liked driving it.
Yup. Traverse. That's my vote.
sorry but i am not going to be much help. i choose my cars by color.
your babies are so cute. loved seeing the pictures.
If all I have to pick from is he Traverse or the Trailblazer then I would take the Trailblazer. I would feel much better with my wife out in the winter time going to and from work with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Any vehicle can be spun out including 4 wheel drives but it is harder to spin out a 4 wheel drive on ice or snow.
If for some reason you can stay at home on icy or snowy days and not drive than the Traverse might make more sense with the 3rd seat and a growing family.
That's my 3 cents worth.
Because the area you live and travel in is part of the "snow belt" here in the middle of the mitten, i'd give serious consideration to 4-wheel drive -- especially if you have to go to work on snowy/icy days. I'm always going to error on the side of safety -- your babies are adorable!
