I LOVE DECEMBER!

All month I have been dressing up Brooklyn in her many Christmas inspired outfits. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of these outfits because I simply have no batteries in my camera. It's a very sad thing for a first time mommy to not be able to show off her pride and joy in a month that I work so hard to make every outfit every day Christmassy. I think tomorrow is going to be a good day because we are going on a Christmas light tour. We are going to go to the Legends and take Brooklyn to a Santa setup they have there where she can sit with Santa and make a toy and reindeer food too. They also have a really awesome lightshow that lasts fifteen minutes and repeats itself for five hours every night. It's going to be awesome. We are also going to Paulie's Penguin Palace and Christmas Card Lane. There are a couple more places that I'm wanting to go but I'm not sure I know where they are. I'm going to get batteries and take pictures of Brooklyn in many of her Christmas outfits. By the way, does anyone have any Christmas DVD's or VHS's that they don't want any more? Our pickings of videos are slim right now and I'm looking to expand for next year.

Brooklyn is back to sleeping in our bed. She got sick a few weeks ago and slept with us for a night, and that was it. Ever since we have the hardest time putting her to sleep in her crib. She cries for two hours non stop. Nothing is wrong with her, she's just stubborn. So I guess we will be trying from scratch sometime soon. That's all for now. I'm tired and have to keep my baby out of things covered in sugar. Not an easy task so close to Christmas. Oh the joys of motherhood.

More Pictures!

Ugh. Everyone around here has been miserable for the past few days. Unfortunately, it was somewhat of my own doing. I contracted a stomach flu bug somewhere last week and woke up Sunday feeling just awful. I ended up going to the ER just to put an end to my misery. That night I was better at 2:30am, but alas, the bug had only begun its evil. Monday morning both my husband and my daughter were sick with the same thing. My mother in law contracted it somewhere between me and them. Heather got it Tuesday, Kurt got it yesterday, and Roy has been complaining that he has it since I got home from the ER. We are hoping that everyone that is going to contract it, has already contracted it. In the mean time, I promised pictures!

So that's it for now. I'm tired and have a husband falling asleep watching Christmas movies with our Booger Bear. Talk to you soon!

It's Been Awhile...

I can't believe I haven't posted since before Halloween! That seems like so long ago! Anyways, Brooklyn had a great Halloween. It was very cold so we only spent a little time actually outside with the Halloween activities, but she loved what she experienced!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and Brooklyn has discovered a new joy in life other than her daily dose of chaos and destruction. She adores all things Christmas! Lights, garland, just plain ornaments, ribbon, you name it she goes nuts for it. She loves going to the store and looking at their Christmas displays! We have recently been blessed by family with a whole bunch, and I mean a BUNCH, of clothes for our little angel. She has been having the greatest time showing off her new clothes. The greatest thing for me is that there were several things in the bags that were very Christmassy, and I'm quite excited to dress her in every single one of them. I'm going to post some pictures taken since I last posted and then rush off because our little trouble maker is really trying to "help" daddy work on something.
