January ALREADY?!?!

So I had good intentions on updating more often...but that is all that happened, my good intentions. Anyway, here is a brief overview of the past few months...Enjoy:)!
Brooklin's Uncle John took some family pictures...which we LOVED! Anybody looking for a photographer, he's your guy;)!
Brooklin looks a little nervous...I think she is worried that she is related to these three crazy guys;).
Here is a pic of Brooklin and her cousins on Brandon's side. Too cute. I love how Addison has her arm around Brooklin.

Our family...
This is what happens when you let a 1 year old dress herself;)




Fun at the mall...taking a break from Christmas shopping!


Leaves...leaves...and more leaves...
Mommy's Birthday!

A new use for her baby bath...it has now become her recliner.
My brother got a new dog...and Brooklin loved him!
Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for!
Donut time! The first snow brought about an old family tradition;).
Yay, Christmas is coming!

My favorite gift!
My big girl!
Do you think her new earmuffs are a little too big???
Getting ready for her first Christmas party at Gramma and Papa's.
Her first tea party...she got her tea set at the party.
Brooklin's first snowman...which she referred to as "HoHo" the brief time he remained standing.
Thanks Aunt Amanda for her new BW's shirt!
Exchanging gifts at Vaushna's...

Christmas Eve at Granny and Poppi's!
The kids getting ready to go to bed and wait for Santa.
Christmas morning...Santa wrote Mason a letter...They were patiently waiting for Daddy to get up;).
Christmas at Grandma and Papa Snyder's house.
Woo woo...a slide!!
Yummmmy popcorn!
Fun in the snow!
We took Backpack everywhere that day!

She amazes me each and every day. She is really talking a lot now, and I can't believe how many words she knows!!! Plus, we have continued working on potty training...am pretty sure that if I would stop being so lazy, she would be trained by now...but getting my butt off the couch and running her to the bathroom a million times a day, just is not fun...but I just have to keep reminding myself of the great outcome...one less expense!!! Oh yeah, and a big girl:). She is still as dangerous as ever with all her climbing and no fear jumping...still working on curbing that a little. Her dancing and singing brings lots of smiles to everyone. Any music that is on instantly makes her wiggle. She is into tv lately. AND she loves Michael Buble. Brandon borrowed a DVD of him playing at MSG in NY and Brooklin absolutely stops everything and sits and watches him over and OVER! I have a bunch more pics to upload from my camera that will truly bring you up to date, but for now, you are atleast brought up to the end of December. Keep watching, I might actually get around to posting them! XOXO

oh my how Brooklin is growing into such a "big" girl! What a great time in your life, she is just as adorable as can be! I sure loved your family photo, as well as all the cousins together! But my favorite was the picture of the kids getting ready for bed brushing their teeth, you need to put that one in a frame in the bathroom! Isn't being a Mommy the best ever! Thanks for the great update, and I look forward to more pix's to come soon...
