Merry Christmas everyone! Santa flies tonight! At this time of year, we take stock of the months behind us, the blessings and the struggles. Well, thankfully the good times outnumbered the bad this year with the welcoming of the newest member of our family, Nicolas; the loss of Chris' job and the timely subsequent gain of an even better job; move into a new house; teaching at a great yoga studio, Izzy growing in leaps and bounds... ahhhh, life is good. Nay! Life is excellent and we are incredibly blessed!

Oh, Christmas tree!
My favorite color is pink. And blue. And red, orange, yellow....
Holding my not-so-little brother.
Santa baby
Don't even think of attacking me, tree! I have mad Kung-Fu skills!
Santa thinks I'm nice :)
Nico you are just so darn cute I could squeeze your little head off! But I won't...
Trimming the tree.
Yay for Christmas p.j.'s!
The finishing touch...
All snuggled up and ready to brave the harsh Austin winter. It's 50 degrees out! Brrrrr! Maybe I should never travel to Minnesota...
Bring on the birthday cake!!!
This is about as close as I ever plan to be near Santa!
