Happy New Year!! 2011!!

I know this year will be filled with many amazing, wondrous moments for us and I can't wait to begin our journey through 2011.

 One of my favorite photos from this year.

 We went to a ceramics store over our break from school and did some painting. The girls had a lot of fun!

Someone cut her bangs. Clear off. I mean, there's nothing left to work with. Good thing she's so darn cute! (And we're not allowed to talk about the bangs anymore:)).

The Birthday Girl!

My sister had a birthday today. She looks lovely. I think she learned the secret for reversing time:)

Christmas. . .and the Day After--Aunt Janet's Birthday!

 Happy Birthday, Aunt Janet!! (with Nana).

 Aunt Janet with my girls.

 M. showing Nana her brand new digital camera.

 My girls, smelling the roses:)

 A. really really loves flowers!

 Nana--after four days in the hospital, but you wouldn't know it:)

 A. got a big girl's bike for Christmas.

M. got a tether ball set (and that digital camera. . .I'm running to catch up on deleting those early morning wake up pics:)

Some reindeer came by the house today...

Christa (the cheetah) has made a big splash here--she's the school mascot and goes home with the teacher of the month (I was honored for December). So she has to go back, though my girls are quite attached. . .

6 Days till Christmas!

The girls are very excited. We have decorated the tree and hung the stockings. Last night we went to a neighborhood close by that is always alight with Christmas decorations--I mean every house--and we joined the car parade and drove through. It was really beautiful.

Glam Shot

My girls are really like this. They have some kind of extra-sensory ability to find make up, even when it is so so hidden, and then I'll find them perched somewhere, applying it.

A Very Busy December

 My girls.

 Bundled up in the cold, cold ice rink as we wait for the Christmas on ice show to begin.

 Maddie and her ice dancing team.

 Again, celebrating after the show, which was beautiful.

 My little star after the show.
