goodbye 2009, hello 2010

the girls under the tree with their tongues lolling out. that's what a year of grand adventures will do to the young ones.

some memorable winter break-isms...

amalea: while putting up the tree, of course a light was out near the eleventh foot up. the fuse was bad mom said. "it is a confused light," clarified amalea.

isabel: the whiskers grow untamed on dad's face during a vacation such as this. "your face smells pokey!" isabel shrieked as her tender baby cheeks were raked by the offending facial hair.
not yet, 2010!

in feet of powder snow amalea plowed through making tunnels, and here, a snow angel.
isabel crawling about in the fluffy stuff.
hi :)
nope, 2010, still not yet!

we braved the frigid temperatures to go to experience the dazzling holidaylights at the brookfield zoo.

oh look, a big ape perched on a tree...and two smaller but rather adorable monkeys hanging out.
and an undersea kiss bestowed upon a wee minnow.
we had to wait for two rounds of the carousel for amalea to ride atop these little horsies. yeah, we love you amalea.
isabel on the ladybug. isabel, we love you.
on that note, we ride away into 2010, adventures away!
