Christmas Day

Thank You everyone for all the gifts you sent!!! Brooke had so much to open... she got so much stuff... clothes, juicy couture binkies, baby's first christmas bib, ornaments, a baby laptop, telephone, cookie jar with blocks, stuffed animals, a toy vacuum, a walk to ride toy, and so much more!!! We appreciate it so much... Brooke had a blast!!

The aftermath... Tons of wrapping paper everywhere and a pile full of toys and clothes!!

Bellevue Trip

Yesterday Jeff got back from Kentucky!! We decided to go to Bellevue for the night... As you can see from the picture, we got snow!! The picture was taken from our balacony when we got home last night. Here, they call this a winter storm...to me it looks like everyday Buffalo weather. The last time they had this much snow it was 1996...

Bellevue Square- Every night during the holidays at 7pm they have a show. Lots of lights and Christmas music... the downtown strip is absolutely beautiful and it was even better that there was snow, I think we are going to have a white Christmas!!

Brooke's friend Savannah.... who is two and a half months younger than Brooke

"Look at me Mommy! Don't you just love cleaning up after me all day!!" Brooke LOVES playing with the door stopper!!!

UGGS and presents

My spoiled child has a pink pair of UGGS.... (not to mention she also has a JUICY suit that she can't fit into just yet)... LUCKY GIRL!!!

I tried to keep the ornaments high on the tree so Brooke wouldn't pull them off... apparently not high enough though, since she decided to prop herself against her gifts and start yanking on them!!

Brooke's First Pageant

The Princess:

Brooke's first pageant.... Washington Cinderella... she won Cinderalla Infant... and got a crown, sash, trophy, and stuffed bear. On top of winning Cinderella Infant, she also won Best Formal Dress and Best Smile...

I will post a picture later of her dress!! It was so cute..

Walked out of the room for less than a minute... and sure enough, I come back to find that she has pulled almost everything out of her drawers!!!

New Apartment

The view from our new apartment... the sun rising behind Mount Rainier... just beautifuL!

Christmas decor

Our stockings... unfortunately we no longer have a fireplace in our new apartment... I tried hanging them on the bar area in the kitchen... but Brooke keeps pulling them down.. so for now they are on the wall (kind of tacky)

Brooke's very own little Christmas tree with her own ornaments... one from mommy & daddy (baby's first christmas), one from grammy (Brooke's name on a wreath), and one from Auntie Kim (Hey diddle diddle)

Our Christmas tree...

So.. I accidently put in dish soap instead of dishwasher soap... I really wasn't thinking.. and the end result was our floor covered in water.. and bubbles everywhere!!

Trying a thanksgiving meal... the potatos ended up in her hair and the carrots on the floor :-)
