Brooke 8 months old! Brooke is now becoming so active!! She has gone from laid back Brooke to now wild child. She is movin' and grovin'. She loves to get into her brothers toys and especially the ones Luke plays with! She is such a cuddle bug and loves to be on Mommy. She has to be where ever I am and crawls to me. She loves to listen to music and bounces to the beat. She will wave "bye, bye", repeat me saying "no, no", and is clapping. Soo cute!

I can not wait to share all my photos with you. I had a great photographer named Amanda who came to the house to capture Brooke! I am so excited and can not wait to share the final pictures. She has given me a sneak peak and will have the rest done soon. (Her blog is on the side of the page.) The boys got their pictures done too as well and then us as a family. I'll post them as soon as I get them. Enjoy baby Brooke!

CHRISTMAS

We woke up Christmas morning to lost of goodies from Santa. Santa brought them what they asked for which was transformers, hot wheels, and Brooke a baby doll. Drew told Santa Brooke wanted a pink baby doll..so Santa delivered. I took a cute photo of Brooke and her baby with her bottle. Merry Christmas everyone!

Twas the Night Before Christmas....

We did our family tradition by putting cookies out for Santa. The kids decorated the sugar cookies as you can seem. Whew what a sugar buzz Santa will get! We also got all dressed up and went to Church. (didn't get a pic) We were asked to light the candles this year for service. The boys thank goodness were good! We came home to put on our PJ's and read "Twas the Night Before Christmas."

Christmas Eve

We were here in Indy for Christmas Eve and day. We were unable to fly stand by the week of Christmas to Iowa due to weather and full flights. What were we thinking anyway to get 5 seats the week of Christmas? oh well..we tried. We wanted to go Mon-Wed and then be home for Christmas Eve and Day. We were here all week and made the best of it. We will plan to fly out on not such a busy week to visit the family. We got the kids gifts in the mail Christmas Eve and opened all our presents from Aunties, Uncles, Grandma and Grandpa. The kids loved the gifts. We decided to get the Wii this yr as a fun gift to enjoy as a family. The kids asked Santa for toys and we got the Wii for them. We opened it up Christmas Eve to have some fun...and boy have we had fun!

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!

It has already snowed a few times here in Indy and we have gotten the boys out to play. They have been having fun catching the snow flakes, sledding, and making snow angles. Drew of course wants to play football and even got out the soccer ball!!

We are going to fly stand by to Iowa the week of Christmas and then be home Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in our home for Santa can come. Happy Holidays everyone!

Gingerbread Night

Daddy and Luke went to Gingerbread Night at the Preschool. Daddy had fun with Drew in the last few years and now it's Luke's turn. Luke had lots of fun making the house and he ate lots of candy and licked a lot of frosting for what I heard. Look at their cute house!
