PEPPER!

Pepper is our new beagle puppy. She was an early Christmas present for the kiddos. Obviously, they were thrilled :)

This is Pepper's favorite place to sleep (at my feet.) I never thought I'd fall in love with a dog, but how could I not?!? We've officially bonded :)

When did my baby girl grow legs this long?!

RoxyKaiPepper-022

I looooove these pictures of the babies walking on the rocks. I'm such a lucky mama :)

I'm not sure why I like this picture ... I don't even know what's going on. There's just something about it.

Kai put on Roxy's hat over his. Oh, yeah. VERY fashionable, Kai!

SNOWWWWW in Austin!

How fun is THIS?!?! The other night is SNOWED in AUSTIN! That doesn't happen very often, so we were super excited. The kiddos were in bed already, but I had to get them up to see the snow. I guess it's a natural instinct to catch snowflakes on your tongue, because I didn't tell them to do this. I'm so glad I got a picture of it, though! Snow in Austin ... a great way to end a great year :)

Roxy in her tutu :)

This weekend was my first weekend off in a loooooong time, so the kiddos and I went out of town to visit grandma, who took us to see the Nutcracker. Roxy LOVES to dress up like a ballerina so I bought her a cute tutu to wear to the show. How AMAZINGLY ADORABLE is THIS?!

I told her to do "some poses for me" and this is what she came up with (all on her own!)

Carpet fibers in the tutu and shoes on the wrong feet ... lovely :)

RoxyKaiPepperTutu-010

Roxy, you're so beautiful :)

RoxyKaiPepperTutu-011

I ordered her a bunch of new tights online. When they came in she was so excited! We opened up the box and unwrapped the tights and UMMMMMM, HELLOOOOOO, they were HUGE! I probably could have worn them they were so long. HA! Roxy didn't care, though. She just folded 'em down and said "Hey, that works!"

RoxyKaiPepperTutu-012

I think this is my favorite picture of '08. It's SOOOO ROXY!

And one with our new friend who's being introduced in the very next post (stay tuned!)
