Life in the crazy lane!

The idea was to have a Christmas card that showed a feature of where we live... last year we had the picture taken on the beach by the ocean, and this year we wanted to have the Missouri River in the background. However, it was sooo cold that day (24F, or about -8 gradi centigradi). BRRRRRRRRR, New York, here we come.
We tried a couple of shots, but then had to move indoors, at the Carousel that Isabel loves so much. Well, that's a memory of Leavenworth too.
and here the debate was, should we show the sled with the raindeer or the family?
after a couple of attempts,
here's the final product. Merry Christmas to all of you!

Here we are, getting ready for a cold, long winter! We just had the first snow and we are trying to stay warm outside and inside as well! You have got to love the Army, after Miami and Kansas, now they are sending us to upstate New York to freeze our buns off. We are ready for it, but let it be known, we loved Kansas and hope we can come back some day.

Please notice the thickness of the icicles that formed overnight. Grazie nonna Mimi per questi bei calzerotti che ci hai fatto che ci tengono calde le gambine. This is movie night, watching Mulan and eating pop-corn. Not a bad way to stay out of the cold!

The girls had their own private yoga lesson and loved every minute of it! Here they are with Leticia who is from Brazil. It's amazing how latin people always find each other (una faccia, una razza!!)
Isabel attempting the shoulder stand! she's too cute!
They really are into it, and proud of their achievments too!!
