Christmas

Man has it been crazy at our house with family in town, Christmas, and yes more family in town. The week before Christmas we really enjoyed having my Dad stay with us. It's always fun to spend time with him! We went out, napped, he built a bear for the grand daughters, played games, and just relaxed which is always great in my book. He left on Tuesday.

Wednesday we went to Clark's parents house to deliver Santa's gifts to a family in need. Every year they adopt a family and on Christmas eve they deliver the gifts to the family. The families they pick are usually ones they don't know but this year they picked one from their ward so us kids, the ones this family wouldn't recognize, delivered everything. It was so sweet. There was a 8 year old girl, I think, and another older sister and brother around 11 or 12. The little girl gave me hug and said, "I hope Santa got me a cell phone..." I couldn't help but laugh.

Afterwards Clark and I headed out to my sister's for my families Christmas Eve Traditional dinner. We enjoyed the food and then went around the block looking at Christmas lights which is also a tradition.

We then headed home. We opened Brooklyn's Pajamas from her grandmother (yes another tradition) and she looked too cute, not to mention she was in desperate need of them! So thanks Grandma Muir!


Christmas morning we opened up our gifts and then headed out to the in laws. The rest of the day was enjoyable being with his family. We opened gifts and then had a nice dinner. Like Amber, I too think Christmas is more meaningful with children! I know Brooklyn didn't fully understand everything but just having her sweet spirit there with us made all the difference! I can't wait for many more Christmas's' to come with her.

Well, this weekend my Oldest brother Brenon comes in town and we get to be with him and his family which is always a pleasure! He lives in OK and we don't see much of him. It will be nice to be with him.

Although we love family SOOOOO much, Clark and I are looking forward for next week when we can just chill at home, the three of us!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and were able to think of our Savior's birth and how important that special day was for all of us!

Here's to you mom!!

Here's a video of Brooklyn playing with her doggy, she loves it!! She will crawl across the room for it!

Big Girl

On Wednesday December 17Th Brooklyn got her ears pierced! Nana and Aunt Cindy came with for the special occasion. There was only one "Lady" working so it took forever for her to finally get to us, while waiting I thought I was going to have heart attack! Just a long time to wait and be nervous.

Brooklyn did very well, just like her shots. She cries for about 2 minutes and then is easily comforted and cuddly! We were excited to show Daddy who didn't know about this trip. He told me in MN that I could get her ears done before Christmas and I knew if Clark was there for it it would never ever happen so we kept it our little secret!

She looks too cute and now for sure no one will mistake her for a boy.(Weird lady at home depot) You could say it was one of her Christmas gifts.

Mobile...

So yes its been awhile but Brooklyn has been scooting for about 2.5-3 weeks now. Its super cute, at first she would crawl over her arm and get stuck but now she is fully moving and doing a lot better!

I can't believe my girl is mobile now!! We are still working on sitting up by herself (I know, it's sad she doesn't do this yet) but know she will do it in her own time...Well here's a video of her moving for you. I wasn't looking at her when I was taping but she knew I was watching her so she didn't move as much.
