Cowgirl

While in Texas back in December, Mom made a major purchase of some new cowboy boots.

Of course, this meant that the boots were fair game for Mallory as well.

Oftentimes while we are in are bathroom getting ready, Mallory will go into our closet and take the new boots for a spin.

She should be ready to grown into them in about 15 years...

NYE 2009

F0r New Year's Eve, we made another trip up to blustery Lutsen, with temperatures rarely getting above zero.

Since it was freezing outside, we brought lots of indoor activites, like Play Doh.

And we made brownies for Nancy's birthday, although I am not sure if all of it made it into the bowl.

For a brief time, we went outside for the annual sledding competition. Mom and Mallory pose for a picture while Dad tries not to break any snow tubes.
