Christmas

Merry Christmas!!

Let the fun begin! Here is a quick recap of the last week!

A few weeks ago we had a fun photo shoot with Brooklyn. Grammy and Poppa came over to take our family picture and Brad took some of Brooklyn later. These are some of my favorites!


"My VERY OWN Stocking!"



"No more pictures please!"

Christmas with Mee Mee
A week ago we headed to our Uncle and Aunt's house to have Christmas with Mee Mee and all the grands and greats. It was fun to get all the baby cousins together again!

Mee Mee gave Bryce and Brooklyn each a Red Wagon!

Yes....WE ARE TEETHING!

The best shot of the 4 cousins :)
(Thank you Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Randy for the matching PJ's)

Christmas at Poppa and Grammy's
Last night we had Christmas over at Poppa and Grammy's. Brooklyn loved her stocking and gifts! She enjoyed unwarpping her gifts but really just wanted to eat the paper!!

Great picture I think..... :)
it tickles me that the two kiddos are looking at each other HA!

Grammy helping Bryce with his new toy for us!

Brooklyn just wanted to put EVERYTHING in her mouth as you can see!




Christmas at Our House
Earlier this week my family (parents, brother, sister and her family) all came to our house! We had fun just being all together, which doesn't happen very often since we live in different states! It was nice and relaxing and everyone enjoyed getting to cuddle and spend time with Miss B! We had a gingerbread making contest, boys vs. girls..... and the GIRLS WON! We also went to Kemah and Brooklyn enjoyed seeing the fish at the Aquarium!

The GIRLS Gingerbread House!

Notice the Hot Tub on the Roof Deck :)

The GUYS Gingerbread Hunting Lodge
with a Fish Pond! I must say I was impressed!

Brooklyn mesmerized by all the fish at the Aquarium



Christmas Day
Christmas morning we video taped Brooklyn waking up with our new video camera! It was so sweet and she was such a happy girl! We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with family and Brooklyn enjoyed it too...although her dinner came later ;)

B looking at all her gifts.....
(most of these were from the night before
that I just put under the tree...hehe she'll never know!)
"For ME!"

Christmas Dinner with the Family
Thank you Uncle Erik, Auntie Andi, and Tia
for coming all the way from Colorado to see me :)
I love you!!!!

Christmas with MeMaw and DaDaw
Normally Brad's Dad's side of the family leaves the day after Christmas for a week long trip. In the past it was to Colorado, but lately they have changed it up a bit and last year we went to New Mexico. This year we all decided it would be fun to spend the whole day together and just hang out at the house. It really is just about being together...RIGHT :)? We had breakfast at MeMaw and DaDaw's, and then walked over to Mark and Kathy's house where the kids had a scavenger hunt to find their gifts, ate lunch, and just talked and talked until after dinner! It was so much fun and such a joy to see this side of the family growing with all the new babies...and one who is one the way :)

The Walkers

Whew...that about wraps up 2010! It was such a blessed year for us and one we will never forget!
