Time For A Big Girl Room!

Since Brynn has been a "camper" and sleeping in her tent instead of her crib, we decided it was time to take it down, make more room and begin the transformation  to a Big Girl Room with a princess theme! We are not finished but at least you can see the beginning stages. Next we'll paint, do new curtains and jazz it up a bit!

Brynn was extra quiet in there one day while taking a nap and when we went in to get her, we found that she had gotten into the Vaseline and covered herself, her kitchen set and some of the carpet with it... lovely. At least she'll have soft skin!

Hello?! Can You Hear Me???

The day after Christmas, Brooklyn started talking on the phone - or... with a puzzle piece! Those puzzle pieces must have lots to say because she was going on for a while!

She wants to be like her big sister so badly!

When she's not busy talking on the phone, she can be found climbing on her train table!

Christmas 2012!

It's Christmas Eve and "Buddy" the Elf's last night with us before he flies back to spend the year with Santa at the North Pole. Brynn had so much fun finding Buddy every morning and she was VERY good at it!

Getting our carrots ready for the reindeer (hope they like their carrots shredded!) and cookies and milk for Santa...

This was too funny... I moved Brooklyn over so she could be a part of the experience as well and within seconds she reaches on in for a cookie. Just watch Brynn in these next few pictures. She put Brooklyn in her place!

"Listen - we do not mess with Santa's cookies, understand?!"

She didn't like that too much. This is the story of our life... one screaming and the other one cracking up!

This is our tree BEFORE we even put our presents under there! Thank you everyone for taking such good care of us - we love you all. You did way too much but we love everything and appreciate it VERY much! XOXO

The gifts from Santa (minus "conehead" Jack!)

The children were nestled all snug in their beds...

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care... (or entertainment center!)

Brynn and Brooklyn's special stockings from Donnie - so cute!

Merry Christmas sleepy head! Brooklyn was the first one up and although she looks really sleepy, she didn't waste time opening up a present. At least she picked one of hers!

Brynn loved her kitchen set from Santa and grabbed the phone right away to make some important thank you calls to the North Pole!

I think she's giving me that "no more pictures" look! Well, too bad!

Goofy girls!

Brynn loved getting the gifts from under the tree and would unwrap one, then go play with it for a while. Brooklyn, just wanted to eat everything! Daddy was busy putting everything together.

What's in here?!

Ooh - a Princess Castle!

Their farm set... or a fun box to climb on!

Baby Brooke and Mommy!

I love Christmas!!!

Snagging a candy cane. The LAST thing this girl needs is more sugar!

Taking a break to make a gingerbread train!

Choo Choo... the finished product! (A day later...)

One of the highlights from Christmas 2012 was the $3 Sit and Spin from Goodwill. Who would have thought?!

Wheeeeeeeeee

Of course little Miss Brooklyn would not want to SIT on it. "Can't we stand and spin?!"

She loves it!

We did a pretty good job of cleaning up as we go and still it looks like a mini tornado! Merry Christmas everyone!! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Thanks for helping to make ours so special! XOXO

Look - It's SANTA!!

We went to Deer Valley Airport on a Saturday in December to watch Santa fly in on a helicopter! The girls had so much fun watching all of the planes take off and land. We'll have to go back sometime to have breakfast or lunch out on their patio... Can you see SANTA?!

He walked right out of the helicopter and came right up to Brynn and Brooklyn to say hello!

Brynn was so excited because we saw her friends, Sabanah & Finnigan (Bryce works with their Dad). It was a good thing they were there because they all kept each other company while we waited to see the big man.

Brooklyn kept herself occupied biting Daddy's head and...

being the goofy girl she is!

The people outside were cracking up at her because she was walking around like she owned the airport!

Once we finally got up to see Santa, Brooklyn wanted nothing to do with him and almost gave Santa a black eye! Brynn was just interested in getting a lollipop and was ready to get out of there as well!

She got what she wished for! Successful trip :)

I Always Wanted A Monkey!!

and now I have one! She just turned one and she wants to jump on top of her car... crazy girl. 

There was no stopping her and she was having a blast. Check out Brynn in the background who wasn't too happy about having to take turns.

Now Brooklyn is not happy with Brynn...

Crazy girl!!!
