Merry Christmas

We are off tomorrow morning for Brooklyn's first trip to Midland!! My parents are coming with us and we'll come home Christmas day and do Christmas with my side of the family on Saturday. Brooklyn is really excited for Grandpa Joe and Grandma Q to see her...because she has gotten so so big!!! Here are some pics from the holiday season...

Stockings still need to be personalized...

Having fun staring at all the bright lights and ornaments!

Labor of Love

Brooks and I decided that we would tile our bathroom for our Christmas present to each other. He did the tiling...and I tried to keep bring the tiles to him and keep them organized. Brooks did a great job....but it was a lot more labor intensive than anticipated...but worth it. We decided to do slate...so we had them laying all over the house so we could see all the different colors. Needless to say...the slate kicked us out of our own bedroom. Our room has become a mess through this process...and our toilet has been moved to the garage. So...it's like we are on a vacation. We have now been staying in our guest room and Brooklyn has officially moved to her own room! It has been an easier transition on us just being 1 wall away from her! For me, staying in the guest room is a nice excuse to be near her! It's much harder than one would think to move her so far away! Anyways, it is looking like it will be after the first of the year before we get our bathroom done and move back. We still have to seal it, grout it, seal again, put toilet back and get baseboards up.

Progress so far

Cute outfit mommy wanted to dress me up in...wrong season...but she made me show it off for a picture since I really never got to wear it!

Just for fun...happy girl

Speaking of being a happy girl...the other night she truly got tickled! She has had little single laughs and chuckles here or there...but she laughed for at least 2 minutes straight the other night! We got the camera out in time to capture some of it. Hope she makes you smile as much as us! Click here for the video!
