Hanging Around Home

Elsa likes to put "capes" on Lyla so that she can be "SU-PER BABY!!!!". She'll just truck around wearing that on her back...

And sometimes, Elsa will ad a dustmask "helmet" to complete the outfit. Poor Ly...

Elsa thought Gaucho was cold so she had us put Lyla's fleece vest on him.

We've had some excellent icicles on the house, and Scotter got one down for Elsa to try out.

Lyla at the front room window- just her height to look out and see what's going on outside.

On Elsa's actual birth day, we made a crown together and she customized it herself.

Elsa was just looking so "big girl" one day when we were heading out the door...she's growing up so fast.

Nightgown: Check. Snuggy Robe: Check. Hello Kitty Toothbrush: Check. Cute: Check.

Wow. It was quite a scene! Elsa put on her dancing dress and was mowing with Ly's push toy. She put on her dancing slippers (complete with "flamingo feathers") and was giving us quite a show.

Lovely Drive

We took a drive for New Year's Eve and headed up north of Walla Walla. It was such a pretty day, with a bit of snow on the ground. We drove up one backroad, up through a canyon to the tops of the hills and came upon a large grouping of wind turbines. They are so, so huge...there isn't a way to capture it on film. But here's a shot of the scene. Such a contrast between the landscape and the technology...

Sitting with Santa

We went to get our tree up in Walla Walla, and guess who was there? Lyla wasn't so sure about the whole thing, but Elsa was all over it!

Birthday Girls

It has been FOREVER since I posted new pix! Here are a few from the girls' birthday party in mid-December.
