Decorating for Christmas

As Thanksgiving came to a close, we jumped right into getting our Christmas tree and putting up all the lights. Brooklynn thought it was so neat that we had a real tree inside our house, and she really got into helping put up all the ornaments. It was pretty hilarious to watch her hang the ornaments onto the actual Christmas light bulbs. She finally got the hang of it.

A Cutter Thanksgiving

With my parents now living in Greenville, we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with them this year at their apartment. Brooklynn loves going to Mimi and Papa's house as they have a huge toy room where she spends most of her time. That toy room gets expecially crazy when all the kids are together...let's just say that tornados make less of a mess.

Pilgrim and Indian Day

Brooklynn had a special day at her school where everyone got to dress up as either a pilgrim or an indian. Anna Kate let her borrow her Pocahontas costume and it was great. What a cute little indian!

Cooking with Mommy!

Whenever Joy cooks in the kitchen, Brooklynn is quick to pull up a chair and lend a helping hand. Of course, all the hard work also brings great reward and a chocolate mess!

Trick or Treat!

Brooklynn dressed up as her favorite animal this year for Halloween (a leopard) and participated in her first real trick or treat experience. He cousins Anna Kate and Lauren came over and they all hit our neighborhood pretty good. It took Brooklynn a couple houses to learn that you should stay by the door until you get a piece of candy, but once she got it she had a ball.
