Merry Christmas!!

Santa came!

I love this view!

Christmas morning... I came down around 6am when Joey woke up and waited for the girls! Couldn't wait to see their faces... Can you see Brynn? She's looking down.

Santa came!!!!!

and here's Brooky!

They were so excited. Brooky got a new baby and cradle - Brynn got an easel and Joey got a new tool bench!

Brynn wanted everything all at once. Going for her stocking!



The boys... they look really amused!


Brooky - drilling screws with her high heels!




Barbie Dreamhouse!!!!!

Doc McStuffins doctor kit!!

Brooky kept taking breaks to eat the crumbs that Santa left! Crazy kid

A christmas tornado!

New stompers!


An Elsa bank!

Puppy Surprise!!

"Sparky!"

and there she goes!


Joey checking out his new tool bench!

and, all of a sudden - Brynn walked over to her easel and wrote her name!!!! Such a great Christmas present!

Merry Christmas from our 3 little elves!

Christmas Fun!

The days leading up to Christmas were busy baking cookies, delivering treats to our neighbors and watching Christmas movies!

This girl... nuts! Her idea of cleaning up I guess. Of course it was sugar!

Time to make the annual gingerbread house!

Watching Daddy's every move!

Time to decorate!



Of course Buddy found the house that night. That's Brynn's favorite part, she knew he would be there!

Christmas Eve we baked more cutout cookies. Mommy almost forgot but Brynn made sure to remind us that we needed to make cookies for Santa!

Busy decorating...

Time to put them in the oven!

Sprinkles anyone?!

That night we got Santa's plate ready - and the reindeer as well. I think Brynn is laughing because Brooky kept taking Santa's cookies. Notice she has her very own plate right in front of her but I guess Santa's looked better! Left out 9 carrots for the reindeer as well. This is serious business for Brynn!

There you go Santa. Complete with a glass of milk and a piece of cheese!

We watched Polar Express before going to bed.... well, Brooky tried too! We're ready Santa!!

Daddy's Christmas Party

The girls got all dressed up for Daddy's Christmas party at the Desert Ridge Marriott!

Joey looked pretty cute too!

They had fun running around with the other kids...


and the resort always has a huge gingerbread house. This year the theme was Frozen! 



Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Brooky!

Somehow I got a little out of order with the blog and forgot to post Brooky's real birthday celebration! 

We celebrated by having pancakes, whip cream and sprinkles for breakfast!

Then - she chose Peter Piper Pizza for lunch! What kid wouldn't?!

They had a blast

Later we did more presents and...

CAKE!! Happy Birthday crazy girl! Can't believe you're 3. I hope you have lots and lots of fun this year and start listening a little more to Mommy and Daddy! Please, please, please! XOXO

Visit With Auntie

Auntie came to visit for a few days and to come for Brooky's party and we had lots of fun! Here's a little photo shoot that we did with Auntie and all of her elves (they helped her wrap all of her gifts!)



The girls wanted to put their toes in the water... it was pretty cold!


The night before she left, we lit the fireplace for the very first time and she read "The Grinch" to the girls and then we made smores! So fun!!

Learning how to toast the marshmallow just right!


Brooky Snuggles

This girl can't get enough of her brother!
