No better way to close out 2009 than with a big tub of frozen yogurt:

Snow Bunny.

A total of 17 snowflakes fell in Austin this month - and Isla was ready to catch all of them:

Beers with the Girls.

Here we have isla and elle discussing who gets to open presents first:

Santa Elle.

Oh. My.

We did some Christmas shopping over the weekend, and elle thought it would be a good time to practice her dance moves...in public...in the mirror...backwards...with a hat.

Hey?  What do I do with these?

Shake it, Shake it, Shake it:

Drunk 4-Year Old Steals Christmas.

What a relief...just when you think that you are a bad parent - someone comes along to make you feel so much better:

My Ballerina.

This week was elle's first-ever, super-excited, can't-wait, oh boy-oh boy, hotly-anticipated ballet recital.

I had planned to record her debut on video for future reminiscing, and as you can see in the picture below - the magic of video was not necessary since this is what the entire 30 minutes looked like.

We have since made the executive decision that she is probably a better fit for gymnastics.

Hmmm...

The pictures are a bit fuzzy, but thats because the girls were practicing their shivering this morning before school:

Sometimes, you need a little boost to reach the castle:

Backseat Driver.

Jump. Jump. Jump.

Ever wonder what your home might look like if you installed a gigantic, inflatable, yellow and hot pink castle in the front yard?  Here you go:
