Ringin' in the New Year!

I almost called this post "Makin' a Joyful Noise" but since the pictures actually WERE taken on New Year's Day I decided to go with this title. :) We really didn't plan these pictures at all. The girls just decided that the tins that some dresses came in on Christmas would make good drums (and I think Daddy introduced the plastic spoons to the mix). This kept them busy for a good 30 minutes.

Here's Daddy & Anya. Yes, I know Anya needs a haircut. I was perfectly settled about cutting it until someone commented, "But you'd be cutting off the hair she was BORN with!" And now I'm very unsettled about it and it's getting pretty shaggy.



I think she's still pretty cute though.



Yup, very cute. :)



Ziva decided to join the fun!



Ooooh, this was a really good idea Daddy!



And I know I've posted this picture of Ziva before, but it's seriously the BEST picture of her I've been able to capture in a Looooooong time!



Most pictures of her look like this:



So thank you very much Aunt Suzy and Uncle Wayne for inadvertently giving my daughters their most favorite toys. lol
