Here's some unedited pictures of a quick little photo shoot Danny took of Brooklyn for the Holidays. Nothing like throwing a sheet on the wall and a tablecloth on the floor and Ta da this is what you get.
Our little Sassy Girl, this is her new pose face she loves to turn her head and smile!
When Danny's mom was here we went to the park about 15 minutes before the sun went down and took some pictures for our Cards. We got a few good ones. Thanks for helping Nana.
It's the chubby cheek family!
And we wonder why she loves to give us BIG Hugs!
Playing with Toys after the Trauma of Santa went away, she loves music and the Piano. Hopefully she will grow up to play as well as cousin Miranda.
She loves to play with these toys at the library, good thing they are not cheap.
Mom trying the second time to get her to see Santa this is as far as she got only touching his hand, progress from crying and death grip on your arm. This Santa was at the local novelty toy store you could take your own pictures and it was FREE to see Santa, love it! He even looks good.
Nana tried first to put her on Santa's lap and no way! She was not to sure. Later he came by when she was playing with toys and she looked up at us like someone going to come save me from the man in the big red suit. Perhaps next year!
All Bundled up to find a tree, we settled for the $20 tree from Fred Meyer, maybe one year we will brave it and cut down a tree with Ricky and his family. I think we will wait until she can walk and care about playing in the snow.
Brooklyn "helping" decorate the tree.
Brooklyn signing for food, she loves pasta especially with Nana's homemade sauce
CHEEEESE! The true Italian side comes out when Pasta is for dinner.
B hanging her new ornaments on the tree, so fun now that she can start doing things and kinda understands.
PRESENT Time! Since we were not going to see Nana for Christmas we has it with her. Yummy homemade lasagna then lots of gifts. We were completely spoiled. Thank you Nana and Grandpa Karl all the gifts were great.
Nana was watching her, when I went downstairs to get her for nap time she was already asleep in the corner of the couch. SO cute she has never done that before, just to much fun when Nana comes.
Thank you Auntie Claudia for the beautiful quilt you made. Brooklyn sleeps with it everyday she loves to look at the bear.
Can't wait to use the hair clips!
We went to the Botanical Gardens downtown to see the Christmas lights. It was very pretty but COLD we did not come as prepared as we should have, learn for next time. They did have hot chocolate and Apple Cider at the door so that helped.
Nana was freezing! B and her tried to stay warm wrapped up in blankets
Dinner before seeing the lights, she stole Daddy's pizza right off his plate and shoved it all in her mouth, ha ha Daddy you didn't want to eat that anyways, right?
Brooklyn at Story time at the Library. We go every Friday for a half hour she loves to play with the toys, puppets and sing the songs.
B's new advent calendar from Aunt Jen she gets so excited to do this everyday, it was a lot of fun thanks Jen for thinking of us!
Brooklyn's favorite things to do always wants to help with the dishes
B got a new puppy named Buttercup from Uncle Mark she LOVES it as you can see!
Brooklyn showing off her whistling skills
Wow were did this year go, can not believe our Brooklyn Rose is 1 years old. She has brought so much joy to our family we could not imagine our family without her. She has her 1 Year check up Dec 8th, 19lbs 10oz.(bummer still backwards carseat), 29 1/2 in tall. Her congestion from 2 weeks before settled in her ear so she got her first does of antibiotics for her ear infection. I have been truly blessed going a year without her being sick or needing antibiotics.
Quick photo shoot by her daddy! Thanks for always doing such a great job.
If you can't tell by her eyes in the picture above.. poor B got her FIRST cold the Sunday before her birthday and we thought was getting better, but Thanksgiving night she got congested again. We were having her party Saturday Nov 28th and on Friday she woke up sounding like Darth Vader, so sad. We decided to take her to the doctors to make sure it was not in her lungs or ears. Kinda ironic since it was a year ago that same day that we took her in for a rash we had discovered all over her body Thanksgiving night. She was ok, just a bad cold. That night she had a high fever so we decided to cancel the friends and cousins coming over so that they would not get infected. I already ordered the ballons, decorations and food ready so we decided to do a mini party (Auntie, Uncle, Danny and I). Good thing she was only 1 and had no idea what was going on.
Ready for the birthday girl
Her cakes, homemade not the prettiest, but the price was right!
B loves to hug her stuffed animals and dollies. Such a lover
SO excited about her Little People Farm animals, thanks "Big" Littles
Thank you Peggy for the cute Cupcake shirt!
She wanted to use a fork I think she would have gotten into it a little more had she been able to breath a little better and actually taste things.
We went to a neighborhood downtown and saw Christmas lights on one house - 500,000 lights amazing! You have to see it to truely appreciate all the hard work he does. We are near the front lawn
This is just the side of the driveway
Brooklyn excited about new headbands from Auntie Claudia
Hanging out with Uncle before they left to drive back home
She was sad that they left just laying around on the Cabela's box thinking of what fun she has when she goes with Uncle there. This is the box to my new lounge chair for our patio someday. Thanks Auntie and Uncle I love it!
