Meet Toothless...

Our new Leopard Gecko & Zanna's new best friend.
Let me just tell you, this child dies over this lizard. It is pretty funny. She has always had a love for animals... but reptiles seem to be her favorite.
Ever since her friend got some for Christmas it is pretty much all she talked about.
My brother Christian had a leopard gecko, "Miguel" when we were young and he was the cutest little pet. He was so nice and calm and just chilled. So since I knew he would be a good little pet we caved and got one.
Her favorite toy is her dragon "Toothless" from how to train a dragon so we named him after her beloved dragon.


He is a little close to her mouth in this photo... yuck... but such a cute photo. It totally captures how she feels towards her new best friend.

I grabbed my camera to get some photos of Zanna playing with Toothless and when I walked into her room this is what I found. I about died laughing!!! What a lucky little lizard, he is riding in style! (and trying to make a getaway out the passenger window;)

She likes to put him in her baby stroller and has also put him on a vertical surfaces and says "look mom, his toes are sticky like a frog"



He is really such a sweet little lizard and a good starter pet! He doesn't stink, doesn't bite and is really low maintenance. My kind of animal! I just pray he can live a long life. I get a little nervous with this child's creativity. But she actually does really well with him. She is very gentle and careful.
So there you have it! Our newest addition!

New Years Eve

New Years Eve was a lovely day... Well it started out a bit frustrating but turned out lovely. We initially had planned to go snow machining with some friends, the Davis' but the weather suddenly got really warm- in the thirties- and we were getting rain, kinda weird. So we decided to take a drive to Hatchers Pass (about an hour away) and go sledding. It was great and it was snowing there instead of raining!
There are a ton of photos... sorry!

Jathan and the babes. Zanna and Troop looked so cute in their goggles.


Zanna cruzing down the hill.


My handsome snow bunnies!


Zanna and Kalea making snow angels!

The Davis's (minus their little baby boy sleeping in the car)


The Garrett's. I know I look a little ticked off... but I'm not. I just can't smile in those goggles. They push my cheeks down and I look like a LOSER face!


Troop spent the majority of his time in the vehicle. Oh doesn't that smile just melt you? It does me!


Heading back up the hill.

I love the snow in the beard. It reminds me of my dad. Now we just nee to get some full blown icicles.


After sledding we headed to this cozy lodge for some grub.

We ordered the MOST DELICIOUS HOT CHOCOLATE I HAVE EVER HAD! It was to die for. I only got about two swigs of it because Zanna took it over. I guess that is what I get for thinking I could share hot chocolate. We also got sea food chowder that was phenomenal as well!!



Watching the fireworks being lit.




This is the first year in 10 years Alaska has allowed fireworks. Yay for us!! Yay for new years!

Goodbye to 2010... And hello to 2011. I hope it is a good one!!
