These Boots Are Made for Walking



The boots, in all their splendid glory



Pose #1



Pose #2





Isabel got her ears pierced over Christmas so we decided to shop for some earrings on Saturday. We. Were. Only. Going. To. Get. Earrings. We weren't going to be enticed by those Presidents-President's-Presidents' (I hate trying to remember grammar rules) Day Weekend Sales. Oh no not us. We went in to look at earrings and 2 pair of boots, 4 outfits, 2 headbands and about 12 pair of earrings later we were home again. Isabel spotted a pair of boots that she simply couldn't live without. They met every grade school girl's shoe requirements: pink, sparkles, hearts, and {gasp} HIGH HEELS!!! Having learned the hard way on numerous occasions...

Flashback: Isabel runs in the house to show off her newly pierced ears while Liza flings herself on the garage floor under the SUV to scream and cry for a bit.

...we had to get a pair for Liza too. Both girls had to immediately try them on and prance around. They have spent all weekend begging to go to McDonalds, the ice cream shop, the park, the mall, etc. so they can show off the new boots.

All Wrapped Up Part 2







The girls' favorite part of Christmas...PRESENTS! Ryan and I were not smiling so much after 2 hours of hacking through cardboard and industrial strength twisty ties to free up the toys and their 146 small related parts. Oh and did I forget to mention the fun of assembling them. Might have to go with books and stuffed animals next year. But the girls thought it was worth it.
