Merry Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and we hope you all did, too. Great Grandma invited us to come stay Christmas Eve with her again and we had alot of fun.
Izzy adores her baby-doll and Brooklynn flipped out over her MP3 player that Santa brought. At first, I thought the MP3 player would be good so she could listen to all her music and we wouldn't have to suffer Hannah Montanna getting stuck in our brain...however, my musical little girl now wonders around the house singing her little heart out...with a very BIG voice :) Oh well!
Isabelle and Brooklynn LOVED the "Glow Stations" they got from Grandpa Tom and Grandma Diane. They are especially fun during night time car rides!
And they LOVE the new dollhouse from Grandma Sue-Sue and Grandpa Brad...and I'll admit...I like playing with it, too :)

Holiday Fun

Here are a few things we've been up to this month.
Brooky and I went to a Christmas parade with Aunt Tara and her boys, Michael & Garret. It was very, VERY cold...but we had alot of fun. The kids stayed warm by cuddling, jumping around and cheering so they would get candy thrown their way.
The girls got one big present early this year thanks to our awesome neighbor. They (mostly Brooklynn) wanted pet fish from Santa and when I mentioned it to my neighbor, Cathy, she said she wanted to get rid of her fish and tank and for us to come get it!! It is a nice 10 gallon tank with decorations, all the equipment and even 8 fish! Brooklynn picked out new gravel and we got a few more supplies and...boom...early Christmas. At first Brooklynn was a little worried because she had already sent her letter to Santa requesting fish, but I told her I sent him a another letter explaining the situation and asking him to bring her something else instead. ;~) Brooklynn absolutly LOVES the fish. She reads to them, sings to them and hugs and kisses the tank each night! Too cute!!!
