Where to begin???

It has clearly been awhile, so I am going to attempt to go back and blog the past at least 6 months. Life has been crazy to say the least, but it never seems to slow down. Check back and hopefully I will have updates for you more periodically. :)

Chinese New Year

Dear China,

To celebrate the second day of Chinese New Year we would like to get Chinese chicken.

Love,
Brooklyn

(This letter is in lieu of the real thing. She would like China to know that this will be a new tradition. She wanted the first day, but we already had dinner plans. The third day was too late though.)

"I Tied"

Brooklyn and my conversation in the car today.

Brooklyn: I call that a tie.

Me: What do you call a tie?

Brooklyn: Today because half of the day I was a bad listener and half of the day I was a good listener. This whole time we have been shopping I have been a good listener and this morning I wasn't.

Me: I guess you're right then you did tie.

She is so funny sometimes. We definitely have a clever girl. I love you Brooklyn and you did more than tie today, you won!

Baby's First Christmas

We had a quiet Christmas at home this year. Lexie and Brooklyn were awesome and loved all their gifts.

We went to Cheesecake Factory for Christmas Eve dinner, read the Christmas story, opened pajamas, made cookies, and watched a Mickey Christmas. Lexie got her first taste of opening presents. She loves the paper like all babies and her and Brooklyn played and laughed ans ripped the paper.

Christmas morning came with Brooklyn tinkling bells to wake us up. The girls opened gifts slowly and it was super fun. We made dinner, played with the girls and had the missionaries over to eat.

It was an awesome low key Christmas and we loved all the family and play time with the girls!

Pajama Day!

Brooklyn had pajama day at school and they acted out the Polar Express. She had so much fun and looked so cute I just had to include this pic!

Christmas Dance Recital

Brooklyn has been in dance since she turned 3. She loves it and we love to see her enjoy it so much. This December she had a little recital where they performed a number about angels being friends with the reindeer. They each had to come up with their own angel costume for the recital. I made a simple white dress to go along with her halo and wings. She was a BEAUTIFUL angel! She did amazingly well and we all enjoyed seeing her dance.
