Cookie Time!

Brooks' good friend, Aubree, had a cookie party last week. The kids put on adorable aprons, used some cookie cutters, and decorated LOTS of cookies and ate LOTS of frosting and sprinkles. And while the cookies were baking Santa stopped by. He was busy in the backyard with a shovel picking up Rudolph's poop. Apparently while he was flying over Rudolph pooped in their yard. The kids thought that was hilarious (of course). He came in for some hugs and candy canes. I left Delaney home with Daddy so Brooks and I could have some fun just the two of us. It was a great night!
Each kid got to take home a box with all their cookie creations...yum!

My Growing Girl

My little peanut finally has a little belly. I love seeing her belly hang over her little leggings. I know it doesn't seem like much, but just remember that we've come along way considering that my little peanut was once just 4 pounds!
We thought, since Delaney now has 8 teeth, we should probably start brushing them. She loves to brush her teeth!
I just love this picture. Laney found one of my beanies and put it on while hanging out around the house...too cute!
Laney is finally walking. She takes cautious steps, but she is walking around most of the time.
I love her "longer" hair. I am constantly putting her hair in a ponytail or pigtails - I just love it!

"The stockings were hung..."

After the Thanksgiving festivities ended we got right to decorating and getting ready for Jesus' birthday. Brooks was such a big help this year, Laney - not so much. It was still just so much fun to get everything out, talk about Christmas's from the past, and think about this Christmas season ahead of us.
